Product Overview
This 5mm through-hole ultraviolet LED delivers blacklight emission in a standard radial package. Designed for breadboards, custom circuit boards, and instrument indicators, it provides targeted UV illumination for fluorescent excitation and craft curing.
Key Features
- Standard 5mm (T-1 3/4) radial package with transparent dome lens
- Staggered through-hole wire leads for clear polarity identification
- Ultraviolet output suited for fluorescence excitation and blacklight effects
- Solid-state epoxy construction for bench builds and panel indicators
Applications
- Curing UV-sensitive adhesives, craft resins, and optical glues on the workbench
- Exciting fluorescent inks, security markings, minerals, and dyes for inspection
- Building custom blacklight indicators, console illumination, and maker electronics
Frequently Asked Questions
How is lead polarity identified on this LED?
The longer wire lead designates the anode (positive) terminal, while the shorter lead corresponds to the cathode (negative) side of the component.
Why buy individual LEDs here instead of a large bulk pack?
Need more than one? More pieces cost less each - the price-break table on this page shows what each quantity costs.
Ordering individual components allows you to purchase the exact count needed for a prototype or repair without storing dozens of unused parts. Shipping is $8 flat rate, free once the order passes $28, and orders leave the Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Invisible light has a way of making an ordinary bench project feel like experimental science. Wire it up, power the circuit, and see what glows.
