Recommended Resistor Values:
To safely operate this LED, it is recommended to use a current-limiting resistor. The following resistor values can be used based on different power sources:
| Power Supply Voltage | Recommended Resistor (Ω) | Current (mA) |
|---|
| 3V (Battery) | 100Ω | ~20mA |
| 5V (Arduino, USB) | 220Ω - 330Ω | ~15-20mA |
| 9V (Battery) | 470Ω - 560Ω | ~15-20mA |
| 12V (Power Supply) | 680Ω - 1KΩ | ~12-18mA |
Wiring Instructions:- Connect the longer lead (anode, +) to the positive side of the power supply.
- Connect the shorter lead (cathode, -) to the negative side or ground.
- Use an appropriate resistor in series to prevent overcurrent and extend LED lifespan.
