LED (5 mm) Specifications

Review LED (5 mm) electrical specifications, operating conditions and package details.

Key specifications

Choose the current first (5–20 mA for an indicator), then the resistor from the supply and the colour’s forward voltage. Without a resistor the current is limited only by the supply and the LED burns out.

Forward voltage1.85–3.3 V typical at 20 mA · red to white
Continuous forward current30 mA maximum · green 25 mA
Reverse voltage5 V maximum · never use it as a rectifier
Junction limit115 °C · green 110 °C

Forward voltage spreads between parts of the same colour; never wire LEDs in parallel without a resistor each.

Blue and white with 220 Ω7.7 mA(5 − 3.3) / 220 Ω, typical Vf

A microcontroller pin drops a little voltage under load, so the measured current is slightly lower (ProTech’s LED example shows 12.9 mA red, 7.2 mA blue).
