5mm LED blue

The 5mm blue LED is a versatile and widely used light-emitting diode known for its bright blue light and energy efficiency. This LED is suitable for various applications including indicator lights, displays, and decorative lighting. Its compact 5mm size makes it ideal for use in tight spaces and electronic projects.

Key Features:

• Emits bright blue light
• Standard 5mm diameter
• Low power consumption
• High brightness and long lifespan
• Easy to use in various electronic and lighting applications

Technical Specifications:

• Color: Blue
• Diameter: 5mm
• Forward Voltage: 3.0V to 3.5V (typical)
• Forward Current: 20mA (typical)
• Luminous Intensity: 5000mcd 
• Viewing Angle: 20° to 30° (typical)

Usage:

1. Insert the LED into the designated holes on a PCB or breadboard.
2. Ensure correct polarity: the longer lead is the anode (positive), and the shorter lead is the cathode (negative).
3. Solder the leads to secure the LED in place.
4. Connect the LED to a suitable current-limiting resistor and power supply.

Caution:

• Ensure proper polarity to avoid damage.
• Use a current-limiting resistor to prevent excessive current.
• Handle with care to avoid physical damage to the LED.
