5mm Yellow LED (Pack of 10)
5mm Yellow LED (Pack of 10)
The 5mm Yellow LED (Pack of 10) is a light-emitting diode (LED) component that emits yellow light when an electric current passes through it. This LED is designed to be used in various electronic projects, circuits, and applications where a bright, yellow visual indicator is required.
| The primary function of this LED is to convert electrical energy into light energy. When a sufficient voltage is applied across the LED's anode and cathode terminals, it releases energy in the form of yellow light. The LED can be used as an indicator, backlight, or for aesthetic purposes in various applications, such as |
Status indication (e.g., power on/off, alarm, or warning)
Backlighting for LCD displays, keyboards, or other devices
Decorative lighting for cars, homes, or other environments
Signaling or notification in industrial, medical, or consumer electronics
| The 5mm Yellow LED is suitable for a wide range of applications, including |
Industrial control systems
Automotive systems
Consumer electronics (e.g., computers, smartphones, TVs)
Medical devices
Home automation systems
IoT devices
Robotics and drones
Handle the LEDs with care to avoid mechanical stress, excessive heat, or electrical overstress.
Use a suitable resistor or current-limiting device to prevent overcurrent conditions.
Follow proper soldering techniques to ensure reliable connections.
Operate the LED within its recommended voltage and current ratings to ensure longevity and optimal performance.
By incorporating the 5mm Yellow LED into your design, you can add a bright, yellow visual indicator that enhances the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your project.

Arduino Board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
220 Resistor
Breadboard
Jumper WiresSoftware Requirements:Arduino IDECode:
```cpp
const int ledPin = 13; // Choose a digital pin on the Arduino boardvoid setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}void loop() {
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn the LED on
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn the LED off
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
}
```
### Example 2: LED Driver Circuit (Raspberry Pi)In this example, we will create a simple LED driver circuit using a Raspberry Pi and the 5mm Yellow LED.Hardware Requirements:5mm Yellow LED

220 Resistor
Breadboard
Jumper WiresSoftware Requirements:Raspbian OSCode:
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time# Set up the GPIO library
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)# Set the LED pin as an output
led_pin = 17
GPIO.setup(led_pin, GPIO.OUT)try:
while True:
# Turn the LED on
GPIO.output(led_pin, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(1)
# Turn the LED off
GPIO.output(led_pin, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
# Clean up the GPIO library
GPIO.cleanup()
```
These examples demonstrate the basic usage of the 5mm Yellow LED in different contexts. You can modify the code to fit your specific project requirements.
