5mm Yellow LED – Diffused High Brightness Indicator Light
The 5mm Yellow Diffused LED is a classic warning and status indicator light with a warm amber-yellow emission and wide diffused viewing angle. It is widely used alongside red and green LEDs in traffic light simulations, multi-status indicator panels, and visual alert circuits.
Key Specifications
- Color: Yellow (Amber)
- Lens Type: Diffused (wide viewing angle ~60°)
- Diameter: 5mm
- Forward Voltage (V₀): ~2.0–2.2V
- Forward Current (I₀): 20mA (max)
- Luminous Intensity: High brightness
- Wavelength: ~585–595 nm
- Mounting: Through Hole, 2-pin
Compatibility & Use Cases
Directly compatible with Arduino, ESP32, NodeMCU, and Raspberry Pi GPIO pins when used with a current-limiting resistor (220Ω for 5V, 68Ω for 3.3V). Common applications include:
- Warning and caution indicator lights in enclosures
- Traffic light simulation circuits (red, yellow, green)
- Multi-status indicator panels for IoT dashboards
- Standby and processing state indicators
- STEM and beginner electronics project builds
