Product Details
✓High-output 3mm LED for dense panels - 10 Orange 3mm through-hole LEDs that fit dense panel layouts and tight PCB designs — standard 2-pin radial form factor suitable for microcontroller projects, breadboard prototyping, instrument cluster indicators, and panel indicators
✓Amber emission with 7,000-9,000 mcd output - Emits at 600-610nm orange/amber wavelength with 7,000-9,000 mcd luminous intensity at 20mA drive current. Forward voltage is 1.9-2.1V. Diffused lens in emitting color produces wide even glow without a focused hot spot, suitable for indicator visibility from off-axis angles.
✓3mm radial through-hole package - 3mm round-top body in radial through-hole (DIP) format with two leads on standard 2.54mm pitch for breadboard, perfboard, and PCB mounting. Compact 3mm diameter fits dense panel layouts, instrument bezels, and tight indicator arrays where 5mm packages will not seat.
✓Polarity and resistor reference - Through-hole LEDs are polarity-sensitive: longer lead is anode (+), shorter lead is cathode (−). For 20mA drive current with a 1.8-2.2V LED, use a series resistor of 150Ω 1/4W on 5V, 360Ω 1/4W on 9V, 510Ω 1/4W on 12V, or 680Ω 1/2W on 15V.
✓Amber hobby and panel applications - 600-610nm amber/orange output at 7,000-9,000 mcd suits scale-vehicle turn signal and marker lamp builds, vintage amber pilot lights, gauge cluster pips, panel status indicators, arcade and pinball lamp replacement, and warm amber accent lighting on dioramas and display models.
