Product Overview
PartsMine 5MM-RED-LED is a standard red light-emitting diode in a 5mm radial package. The tinted, diffused epoxy lens disperses light evenly across a wide angle, making it suited for visual status indication rather than focused illumination.
Key Features
- 5mm (T-1 3/4) radial through-hole package
- Red diffused translucent epoxy lens
- Standard two-pin untrimmed wire leads
- Integrated mounting flange ring at base
Applications
- Wiring power and activity indicators on custom breadboards and microcontroller shields
- Replacing worn panel lamps on test fixtures and audio gear
- Adding scale accent lighting to dioramas, scale models, and maker displays
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine the polarity of the leads?
The longer wire lead indicates the anode (positive), while the shorter lead and the flat edge on the package flange indicate the cathode (negative).
Does this LED include an integrated current-limiting resistor?
No, this is a standard diode that requires an external series resistor sized to match your supply voltage. Larger orders lower the price per piece; the price-break table on this page has the details.
Every breadboard bench needs a steady drawer of red indicators to tell you the rail is live and the circuit is breathing. A clean, classic diode ready to light up your next build.
