Product Description

5mm Mixed LEDs Assortment (Red, Yellow, Blue, Green)

4Pack Assorted Round ThroughHole LEDs for Electronics Projects

This 4piece set contains one each of the four most common indicator colors: Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue in a standard 5mm (T1 3/4) round package. This assortment is perfect for prototyping, status indicators, and basic lighting in Arduino and electronics projects.

Four Basic Colors Included - 1 Red, 1 Yellow, 1 Green, and 1 Blue LED
Standard 5mm (T1 3/4) Package Fits 5mm LED holders and standard 2.54mm pitch breadboards
The long lead is the anode (+) and the short lead is the cathode (-).
A currentlimiting resistor (typically 220Ω1kΩ) is required to protect the LED.
The forward current must be limited to 20mA-30mA; exceeding this can damage the LED.

This assortment provides the essential colors for breadboard prototyping and experimenting with electronics . The different voltage requirements for each color ensure you can understand and test various LED configurations.

Troubleshooting

LED not lighting:

  • Check polarity (long lead positive, short lead negative).
  • Verify a current-limiting resistor is installed.
  • Ensure the supply voltage meets the forward voltage requirement.
