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.

No specifications match. Try a parameter name or a unit.
Forward voltage spreads between parts of the same colour; never wire LEDs in parallel without a resistor each.

| Blue at 20 mA | 91 Ω (E24) | (5 − 3.3) / 0.020 = 85 Ω, next E24 value above |
| White at 20 mA | 91 Ω (E24) | (5 − 3.3) / 0.020 = 85 Ω, next E24 value above |
| Red with 220 Ω | 14.3 mA | (5 − 1.85) / 220 Ω, typical Vf |
| Green with 220 Ω | 12.7 mA | (5 − 2.2) / 220 Ω, typical Vf |

| Blue and white with 220 Ω | 7.7 mA | (5 − 3.3) / 220 Ω, typical Vf |
No specifications match. Try a parameter name or a unit.
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).
