5mm Crystal Green LED is a variant on the basic diode. A Diode is an electronic component that only conducts electricity in one direction. Diodes have what is called a forward voltage rating which determines the minimum voltage difference between the Anode ( ) and Cathode (-) in order to allow electrons to flow. An LED is basically the same as a Diode, with the key difference being it generates light when the electricity flows. 5mm Crystal Green LED is a type of LED that hold the die on an anvil post that is encased in an epoxy dome for protection. Connections are then made via the two legs or prongs that come out of the bottom. As we mentioned, a diode only allows flow in one direction. This makes it crucial to differentiate between the positive side (the Anode) and the negative side (the Cathode). With 5mm Crystal Green LED it is easy, notice that the legs are different lengths? The longer leg is the Anode and the shorter of the two is the Cathode. Accessible in various hues, these Ultra Bright LEDs (Light-Emitting Diodes) are ideal for all your Raspberry Pi prototyping ventures! All Ultra Bright LEDs are “Review A” class and offer an unadulterated and reliable shading with a high-power light yield and up to 20degree survey point.
