F5 5mm Green Round Superbright LED
= High-Brightness Round LED for Indicators and Projects =
The 5mm green superbright LED is a highintensity, standardsize through-hole component ideal for visual indicators, displays, and lighting applications. It offers a narrow viewing angle for focused illumination and excellent visibility even in daylight conditions .
High Luminous Intensity - Up to 12,000 mcd for excellent visibility
Narrow 2030° Viewing Angle Focused light output for clear indicators
Operating voltage: 3.0V to 3.8V depending on model .
Currentlimiting resistor (typically 220Ω1kΩ) is required to prevent damage.
Maximum forward current: 25mA to 30mA - exceeding this will damage the LED.

| -- | -- |
| Package Type | 5mm (T-1 3/4) Round |
| Mounting | Through-Hole (2.54mm pitch) |
| Forward Voltage (Typ.) | 3.0V - 3.8V |
| Max Forward Current | 25mA - 30mA |
| Dominant Wavelength | 515nm - 530nm (green) |
| Luminous Intensity | Up to 10,000 - 12,000 mcd |
| Viewing Angle | 20° - 30° |
| Lens Type | Water Clear (water-clear) or Diffused |
For maximum brightness, use a water-clear lens variant. Diffused lenses provide a wider, softer glow.
The anode (positive) lead is the longer lead; the cathode (negative) lead is the shorter lead .
== Applications ==
- Panel indicators and status displays
- Outdoor signage and displays
- LED matrix arrays
- General lighting and decoration
- Consumer electronics indicators
HighBrightness Design Superb for outdoor and daylight visibility.
Standard 5mm Package - Easy to integrate with breadboards, PCBs, and LED holders.
√ Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi.
√ Available in clear water-clear and diffused lens variants.
√ Longlife solidstate reliability.
= Troubleshooting =
LED not lighting:
- Check polarity: longer lead is anode (+), shorter lead is cathode (-) .
- Verify a current-limiting resistor is installed (e.g., 220Ω to 1kΩ).
- Ensure supply voltage meets forward voltage requirement (3.0V - 3.8V).
Dim or uneven brightness:
- Confirm the correct resistor value is being used.
- Check for loose or cold solder joints.
