5mm Red DIP LED (Pack of 25)

Description

• Size: The LED has a 5mm diameter, which is a standard size for through-hole LEDs. This size is compatible with most common LED holders and mounts.
• Emission: These LEDs emit red light when a forward voltage is applied. The specific shade of red can vary slightly between different manufacturers and models.
• Forward Voltage (Vf): Each LED typically has a specified forward voltage, which is the voltage required to make it emit light. For red LEDs, the forward voltage is usually around 2 volts, but it can vary.
• Forward Current (If): The forward current is the current that needs to flow through the LED to emit light. The forward current for 5mm red LEDs is typically around 20-25 mA (milliamperes).
• Viewing Angle: LEDs often have a specified viewing angle, which indicates the spread of light. 5mm LEDs typically have a viewing angle of around 30 to 60 degrees, but this can vary.
• Operating Life: LEDs have a long operational life, often tens of thousands of hours, and are known for their durability.
• Applications: Red LEDs are used in a wide range of applications, including indicator lights, displays, signage, brake lights on vehicles, and many other electronic devices where red indication or illumination is required.
• Packing: They are commonly sold in packs, and a pack of 25 pieces is convenient for various projects or for replacement purposes.
