Yellow Led 10mm (Transparent)

💡 10 mm Yellow LED (Diffused)


📝 Overview

This 10 mm diffused yellow LED offers a pleasing, soft glow ideal for indicator lights, panel displays, and Arduino-compatible visual feedback, among other uses.

🔍 Key Features

  • Color wavelength: ~587–592 nm (yellow)

  • Forward voltage (Vf): ~1.8–2.2 V at 20 mA

  • Max current: 20 mA continuous; peak pulses up to 100 mA

  • Brightness: ~6–20 mcd (diffused); up to ~30 mcd for factory-graded types

  • Viewing angle: ~40°–65° 

  • Package: Standard 10 mm round shell; fits breadboards and PCBs

  • Operating temperature: –40 °C to +85 °C; storage up to +150 °C

✅ Typical Usage

Use with a current-limiting resistor on 5 V or 3.3 V output:
