Red LED 5mm (Pack of 20 Pcs)

A Red LED 5mm is another type of LED that emits red light, and like the yellow LED, it is a 5mm diameter component typically used in through-hole applications. Red LEDs are one of the most common types of LEDs due to their brightness, visibility, and versatility.

Key Features of a 5mm Red LED:

1. Color: Emits bright red light, commonly used for signaling, status indicators, or visual effects.
2. Size: The "5mm" refers to the diameter of the LED’s casing, which is compatible with standard breadboards, PCBs, and other components that fit through 5mm holes.
3. Low Power Consumption: Red LEDs are energy-efficient and consume very little current (usually between 10-20 mA).
4. Operating Voltage: A typical red LED has a forward voltage of around 1.8V–2.2V, which is lower than some other colors like blue or white LEDs.
5. Brightness: Red LEDs are bright enough for most indicator applications but generally not as intense as white or blue LEDs.
6. Polarity: As with all LEDs, the red LED is polarized with the longer leg being the anode (positive) and the shorter leg being the cathode (negative).

Common Uses:

• Indicators: Red LEDs are often used as indicators for power status, warning lights, or as signal lights on electronics or machinery.
• Displays: Red LEDs can be used in displays like clocks, digital meters, or even simple binary counters.
• Traffic Lights and Signaling: Red LEDs are commonly used in automotive lights, traffic signals, or other warning signals.
• Visual Effects: They’re used in decorative lighting, toys, and DIY projects, where they can add a bright, eye-catching effect.
• Power Status: Many devices use a red LED to indicate when they’re powered on or to signal a malfunction.
