20mm LDR Sensor Photoresistor Photo Cell 10-20k – GL20528

Description

• Type: LDR Sensor (Light Dependent Resistor)
• Diameter: 20mm
• Resistance Range: Typically with a resistance range of 10-20 kilohms (10kΩ to 20kΩ)
• Photoresistor: This component is a type of photoresistor or photocell that changes its resistance in response to the amount of light it is exposed to.
• Light Sensing: Used to sense ambient light levels and is commonly used for applications where automatic adjustment of brightness or turning on/off of lights is required.
• Versatile: Suitable for use in various electronic projects, including light-sensitive switches, light meters, and more.
• Light-Dependent: Its resistance decreases as the intensity of light increases, and it increases as light intensity decreases.
• Analog Output: Provides an analog output signal that varies with the light level.
• Dimensions: Has a diameter of 20mm, making it suitable for different enclosures and assemblies.
• Electronic Component: Often used in conjunction with other electronic components, such as transistors or operational amplifiers, to create light-sensitive circuits.
• Power Consumption: Consumes minimal power, making it energy-efficient for battery-powered devices.
• Easy to Interface: Can be easily integrated into circuits with appropriate resistors or amplifiers to convert changes in resistance into measurable electrical signals.
• Light Sensing Range: Designed to operate within a specific range of light intensities.
• Photocell Applications: Commonly found in applications like automatic street lighting, cameras with light meters, and light-sensitive switches.
