Practical help
Common problems
LED does not light up
Check the polarity (the long leg is the positive anode, the short leg is the negative cathode) and ensure the power source voltage matches the specific color requirements (1.8V-3.4V).
LED burns out or dims quickly
Ensure the current does not exceed the Max Continuous Current of 30mA. Use an appropriate current-limiting resistor in your circuit.
Before use
- Verify the forward voltage requirements for the specific LED color.
- Ensure the power source is current-limited to prevent damage.
- Check polarity before soldering or inserting into a breadboard.
- Confirm the operating environment is within the power dissipation limits (80mW).
Specs in practice
- Forward Voltage
- The voltage range required to operate the LED, which varies by color (1.8V to 3.4V).
- Luminance (mcd)
- The brightness intensity of the LED, measured in millicandelas.
Images and diagrams
- The technical drawing shows the LED dimensions: 22mm total length, 5mm head diameter, and 3.1mm/3.05mm head height.
Model compatibility
- Compatible with standard 3mm LED mounting hardware.
- Requires current-limiting resistors in most circuit applications.
