Description:
This 5 mm LED Assorted Kit (100 pcs) includes 20 LEDs each in white, yellow, red, green, and blue — an ideal selection for hobbyists, students, and makers. These classic through-hole LEDs are perfect for prototyping, indicators, art projects, Arduino builds, signage, and more.
Specifications:
- LED type: 5 mm through-hole diode
- Total count: 100 pcs
- Forward current: ~ 20 mA typical
- Forward voltage: Red/Yellow ~ 2.0–2.2 V; Green/Blue/White ~ 3.0–3.3 V
- Lens Colour: Diffusion
- Lens type: Diffused or clear (depends on batch)
- Lead type / spacing: Straight leads, suitable for breadboards / 0.1 in spacing
- Operating Voltage: 1.8V~3.0V
- Operating Current: 20mA
Features:
- 100 total LEDs: 20 pcs each in five colors (white, red, yellow, green, blue)
- Standard 5 mm diameter
- Through-hole leads (suitable for breadboards & PCBs)
- Low forward current (typical ~ 20 mA)
- Each LED color has its own forward voltage region:
* Red / Yellow: ~2.0–2.2 V
* Green / Blue / White: ~3.0–3.3 V (approximately) - Diffused or clear lens options depending on batch
- Wide application in electronics and DIY
Applications:
- Indicator lights / status LEDs
- Arduino / microcontroller projects
- Prototyping on breadboards / PCBs
- Decorative lighting, model building
- Educational electronics kits / experiments
Usage & Best Practices:
- Always use a current-limiting resistor (e.g. 220 Ω to 1 kΩ) with each LED to avoid damage.
- Observe polarity: longer lead = anode (+), shorter = cathode (–).
- For white / blue / green LEDs, provide a suitable voltage (e.g. 3 V or more) due to higher forward voltage.
- Avoid running LEDs at maximum current continuously; 10–15 mA is often adequate.
- Use diffused lenses for wider viewing angles, clear lenses for more focused light.
