#347: LED 3mm - Blue

R1.72

An LED 3mm in blue color is a light emitting diode (LED) that has a diameter of 3mm. It is a type of electronic component that is used to produce light and is often used as an indicator light in a variety of electronic devices and systems. The blue LED 3mm is a specific type of LED that emits blue light when it is activated. It is often used in applications where it is necessary to indicate the presence of a specific condition or state, such as in warning systems, control panels, and other applications. LEDs are known for their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and fast response time, and they are widely used in a variety of applications that require the production of light.

These blue LEDs will provide your projects will light, instantly! Whether you need to indicate activity in your circuit or simply want to visual effects to your project, LEDs are simple to use and cheap to purchase!

Remember to never plug any LED directly to the power supply or it will destroy it! Ensure that the current through the LED is never more than 20mA. The easiest way to do this is to simply add a resister in series with the LED to reduce the Current to below 20mA. For example, if you have a power supply of of 4.5V then you would need to add a resistor of at least 50 Ohm to ensure the LED has less than 20mA of Current going through it.
