Description

This 5mm Red LED is fairly bright, and easy to work with. The forward voltage is 1.7V with a current consumption of 20mA. To use this LED you will need a current limiting resistor; this will vary depending on your input voltage. Typically with a 5V supply we recommend a 180 ohm resistor for a single LED. Alternatively you can also use a 20mA current limiter (linked below).
