Description

3mm LEDs (Variable Product) are small, through-hole light-emitting diodes designed for space-constrained electronic applications. With a 3mm diameter epoxy lens, these LEDs operate at a typical forward current of 20mA and forward voltages ranging from 2.0V to 3.2V, depending on the color (e.g., red at ~2.0V, blue/white at ~3.0-3.2V). Available in colors such as red, green, blue, yellow, and white, they provide luminous intensities from 50mcd to over 5,000mcd (super bright variants), with viewing angles typically between 20° and 60° (diffused or clear lens options). These LEDs are ideal for status indicators, compact lighting solutions, and DIY electronics projects like Arduino or breadboard experiments. Featuring a long lifespan (up to 50,000 hours), low power consumption, and an operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C, they’re a reliable choice for hobbyists and professionals. Select your desired color and brightness from the available options. Note: Requires a current-limiting resistor (not included) based on supply voltage.
