5mm White LED – Transparent Clear Lens, Focused High-Brightness Through-Hole LED
VAT inclusive; Computed calculations added locally.
Overview
The 5mm Transparent White LED is a compact and bright LED designed for applications where a focused beam of white light is preferred over a wide, diffused output. The clear transparent lens allows the LED's light to be directed forward, making it useful for indicator and illumination applications.
White 5mm LEDs commonly operate around 3.0–3.4V forward voltage at 20mA, although exact specifications vary by LED type and manufacturer. Focused versions can have relatively narrow viewing angles, making them suitable for applications requiring concentrated light output.
The standard through-hole construction makes this LED easy to install on breadboards, perfboards, PCBs, and custom electronic assemblies.

Product Technical Information
Technical Details
The 5mm White Transparent Focused LED is a standard through-hole LED with a clear lens and directional light output. Unlike diffused LEDs that spread light broadly, a focused LED directs more of its light toward the front, making it useful for applications where concentrated illumination is desired.
Its compact 5mm package allows easy installation in electronic panels, PCBs, breadboards, robotics projects, automotive electronics, and DIY lighting assemblies.

How to Use
Connect the LED with the correct polarity and use a suitable current-limiting resistor in series.
For a 5V supply, the resistor value should be calculated using the LED's actual forward voltage and desired current. Never connect a standard LED directly to a voltage source without current limiting.
Important Notes
- The LED is polarity-sensitive.
- The longer lead is generally the anode (+) and the shorter lead is generally the cathode (−).
- Always use a suitable current-limiting resistor.
- Exact forward voltage, brightness, color temperature, and viewing angle may vary by batch.
- Transparent lens does not mean the LED is colorless; it refers to the clear lens material.
- Do not exceed the recommended forward current.
- Product appearance may vary slightly from photographs.
Package Includes
- 1 × 5mm White Transparent Focused LED
