5mm Green Led

The 5mm Green LED is a classic and widely used light-emitting diode that provides a bright, pleasant green light suitable for countless electronic applications. The diffused lens design softens the light and spreads it evenly in all directions, giving a uniform glow rather than a focused beam. This makes it ideal for use as an indicator, status light, or decorative element where the LED needs to be visible from multiple angles. Operating at a low forward voltage of 2.3–2.5V and a standard forward current of 20mA , this LED is highly efficient and consumes minimal power, making it perfect for battery-powered projects. Its luminous intensity of 100–150 MCD (millicandela) ensures good visibility both indoors and in moderate ambient light conditions. The LED comes in a standard 5mm (T1-3/4) through-hole package with two leads—a longer anode (+) and a shorter cathode (–) —making it easy to identify polarity and solder onto circuit boards. When connected properly with a current-limiting resistor , it can last for tens of thousands of hours , offering reliable and long-term performance.
