5mm White Green LED (Pack of 10) - Pinout and Connection Guide
The 5mm White Green LED is a versatile component used in various IoT projects, including LED indicators, backlighting, and decorative lighting. This documentation provides a detailed explanation of the LED pins and their connections.
Pinout:
The 5mm White Green LED has two pins:
Pin 1: Anode (Positive Leg)
Function: Connects to the positive voltage supply
Color: Typically longer leg or marked with a "+" sign
Purpose: Receives the positive voltage to turn the LED on
Pin 2: Cathode (Negative Leg)
Function: Connects to the negative voltage supply or ground
Color: Typically shorter leg or marked with a "-" sign
Purpose: Completes the circuit and allows current to flow through the LED
Connection Structure:
To connect the 5mm White Green LED, follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the LED Orientation
Identify the longer leg (anode) and shorter leg (cathode) of the LED.
If the legs are not visibly different, check the LED packaging or documentation for markings indicating the anode and cathode.
Step 2: Connect the Anode (Positive Leg)
Connect the anode (longer leg) to a positive voltage supply, such as:
+ A digital output pin of a microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi)
+ A power supply pin on a development board
+ A voltage source (e.g., battery) through a resistor (calculate the required resistance value based on the LED's voltage and current ratings)
Step 3: Connect the Cathode (Negative Leg)
Connect the cathode (shorter leg) to a negative voltage supply or ground, such as:
+ A digital ground pin of a microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi)
+ A ground pin on a development board
+ A voltage source (e.g., battery) negative terminal
Important Notes:
Always follow the recommended voltage and current ratings for the LED to avoid damage or premature failure.
Use a suitable resistor in series with the LED to limit the current and prevent overheating or burning out the LED.
Ensure proper polarity when connecting the LED to avoid damage or reverse voltage protection concerns.
By following these steps and guidelines, you can successfully connect and utilize the 5mm White Green LED in your IoT projects.
