Overview

Wiring Connections:

Anode (+): The longer lead is the positive terminal; connect it to the positive side of the power supply.
Cathode (–): The shorter lead is the negative terminal; connect it to ground or the negative side of the power supply.
Resistor: A current-limiting resistor (usually between 220Ω to 1kΩ) is recommended in series to prevent excessive current and protect the LED.

Power:

Operating Voltage: requires 3V to 3.6V for optimal performance.
Current Rating: Operates best at 20 mA; exceeding this can damage the LED.

Input and Output:

Input: Connect to a DC power source; ensure the voltage is appropriate to avoid burning out the LED.
Output: Provides bright white light when powered correctly.

Physical Characteristics:

Size: Standard 5mm diameter.
Package: Available in packs of 5 for convenience.
Color: Emits a bright white light, ideal for various applications.

Technical Specifications:

Temperature Range: Operates effectively in a range of -20°C to 85°C.
Wavelength: Not applicable as it emits white light, which is a combination of all visible wavelengths.

Additional Features:

Versatile Applications: Suitable for use in electronics projects, indicators, automotive lighting, and decorative lighting.
Easy to Use: Simple to incorporate into breadboards or solder onto PCBs.

How to Use:

Connect the LED:
- Identify the anode (longer lead) and cathode (shorter lead).
- Connect the anode to the positive side of the power supply and the cathode to ground.
Add a Resistor:
- Place a suitable resistor in series with the LED to limit the current and protect the LED.
Power the Circuit:
- Connect the power supply (3V to 3.6V) to see the LED light up.
Testing:
- Ensure the connections are secure and observe the brightness of the LED. Adjust the resistor value if necessary to change brightness.

Applications:

Indicators: Use in electronic devices to indicate power, status, or alerts.
Lighting: Great for decorative purposes in models or as ambient lighting.
Displays: Can be used in projects requiring visual output like LED matrices.
Toys: Commonly found in battery-operated toys for lighting effects.

The 5mm White LED (Pack of 5) is an essential component for anyone working on electronics projects. Its compact size, high brightness, and energy efficiency make it ideal for various applications, from DIY projects to professional designs.
