Description

A 3mm LED (Light Emitting Diode) in red color is a compact, energy-efficient electronic component that emits a vibrant red light when a current passes through it. With a 3mm diameter, this LED is typically used in applications that require small, high-performance lighting solutions. The LED is designed for low power consumption while providing bright, consistent illumination. It features a wide viewing angle, ensuring that the emitted light is visible from various directions.

The red 3mm LED is often used in various industries, such as electronics, automotive, and consumer products, for indicators, status lights, and display purposes. Due to its small size, it can easily fit into circuits, panels, or devices with limited space. The red light it emits is highly visible, making it ideal for signaling, warnings, or as a light source in low-light environments.

The construction of the LED includes a clear or diffused lens, which helps to either focus or spread the light depending on the application. It operates within a specific voltage range, typically around 2V, and can handle currents up to around 20mA, ensuring optimal performance without excessive heat generation.

With its long lifespan, typically lasting tens of thousands of hours, the 3mm red LED is a durable and cost-effective choice for applications requiring reliable lighting. Whether used in electronic displays, decorative lighting, or as an indicator light, it provides efficient and bright illumination, making it a popular choice for both hobbyists and professional engineers alike.
