5mm LED RGB / RGB Crystal LED 2pin Code: 23607418 (1000pcs)

A 5mm 2-pin crystal (clear) RGB LED is a self-blinking diode that automatically cycles through red, green, and blue colors when powered with direct current.

Technical Details

• Diameter:5mm
• Lens Type:Clear / Crystal
• Pin Count:2 pins (Anode + and Cathode -)
• Colors Included:Red, Green, Blue (automatic slow or fast flash)
• Forward Voltage:0V – 3.2V
• Forward Current:20mA
• Viewing Angle:15° to 30°
• Internal Circuit:Built-in micro-controller chip that cycles colors automatically without external programming.

Pin Configuration

• Longer Pin (Anode):Positive terminal, connect to + (3V to 3.2V DC).
• Shorter Pin (Cathode):Negative terminal, connect to Ground (GND).
• Note:Always use a current-limiting resistor (around 220Ω to 470Ω) if powering from a 5V source like an Arduino to prevent burning out the diode.

Applications

• DIY & Arduino Projects:Adding simple color-changing effects without needing PWM control pins.
• Decorations:Festive lighting, fairy lights, and car interior accents.
• Toys & Gifts:Glowing doll eyes, flashing novelty items, and keychains.
• Indicators:Power status lights or attention-grabbing warning signals.
• Education:Basic electronics experiments to teach polarity and circuit building.
