Product Overview
5mm Bi-Color Through-Hole LED - Yellow and Green Diffused Dome, Panel Mount Indicator
Condition
Unused NOS. Sourced from an electronics distributor consolidating inventory. Low stock - nearly gone. Photos show the specific units you will receive. The product image confirms an intact diffused dome, no damage to leads or body, and both colors present.
Ships same business day from Idaho. Packed with care for safe transit.
Backed by our guarantee. Serving customers since 1999.
Product Overview
5mm dual-color LED emitting yellow and green from a single diffused lens package. The diffused dome scatters light for a wide viewing angle rather than a focused beam. Three-lead through-hole construction fits standard breadboards, perfboard, and panel-mount holes. One LED, two colors - controlled by which lead is driven.
Key Features
- 5mm diameter diffused dome lens
- Dual color: yellow and green in a single package
- Three-lead through-hole configuration - one lead per color, one common
- Diffused lens provides wide-angle visibility
- Designed for panel mount installation
- Common cathode or common anode configuration - not confirmed, verify before wiring
- Requires current-limiting resistor - do not connect directly to a power supply
Applications
- Status and mode indicators on control panels - yellow for standby, green for active
- DIY electronics projects, Arduino builds, and breadboard prototyping
- Model railways, RC vehicles, and scale instrument panels
- Guitar pedal status lights and custom instrument panels
- Educational electronics kits and classroom demonstration circuits
- Maker and hobbyist projects needing two-state visual feedback from one component
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this common cathode or common anode?
Not confirmed for this specific lot. Verify the pin configuration with a multimeter and a current-limiting resistor before wiring into your circuit. This is the most critical step before installation.
What forward voltage and current do these require?
Not confirmed for this specific lot. Typical 5mm yellow and green LEDs run around 1.9V-2.3V forward voltage at 20mA, but these figures vary by manufacturer. Verify against a datasheet or test with a known-safe current-limited supply before use.
Do I need a resistor?
Yes. Always use a current-limiting resistor in series. Direct connection to a voltage source without a resistor will burn out the LED immediately.
What is included?
LEDs only. No resistors, no datasheet, no additional hardware.
Two colors, one hole, and a resistor you probably already have - sometimes the simplest parts solve the problem cleanest. These are nearly gone, so grab what you need.
