5mm Yellow LED – Through-Hole DIP Indicator Light – 1 Pc
VAT inclusive; Computed calculations added locally.
Overview
The 5mm Yellow LED is a versatile general-purpose electronic indicator suitable for a wide range of projects and circuits. It produces a visible yellow light and is commonly used for power indicators, status signals, warning lights, control panels, educational projects, and microcontroller applications.
The standard through-hole design allows easy installation on breadboards and PCBs. Like other LEDs, it is polarity-sensitive and should be connected with a suitable current-limiting resistor to prevent excessive current.
Typical yellow 5mm LEDs operate at approximately 20mA, while the exact forward voltage, brightness, wavelength, and other optical characteristics may vary depending on the manufacturer and supplied batch.
