LED indicator lamp CRLED 5mm Red 7500mcd 30°

Through-hole 5 mm red LED CRLED delivers focused high-intensity illumination with a rated luminous intensity of 7500 mcd and a 30° beam angle. This LED is intended for panel indicators, status displays and general signalling in electronic devices. The compact 5 mm package fits standard panel holes and is suitable for both hobbyist projects and professional assemblies where clear close-range visibility is required.

Advantages

The CRLED 5mm Red provides a bright, concentrated red light output that improves visibility on control panels and status indicators. Its 30° beam angle produces a focused beam that reduces stray light and increases perceived brightness at typical viewing distances. The through-hole package ensures straightforward mechanical mounting and reliable electrical connections for long-term use in a variety of circuit boards and panels.

Suitable for

• Panel indicators on industrial and consumer devices
• Status LEDs on instrumentation and control equipment
• Indicator lights in consumer electronics and appliances
• Hobbyist and prototype electronics projects

Key specifications

• Package type: 5 mm through-hole LED
• Color: Red
• Luminous intensity: 7500 mcd (typical)
• Beam angle: 30°
• Mounting: Standard 5 mm panel or PCB hole
• Ideal viewing range: close to moderate distances

How to use

Install the LED into a standard 5 mm hole on a panel or into a PCB with appropriate hole size and secure the leads. Use a current-limiting resistor or a constant-current driver to set the operating current within the LED manufacturer's recommended range to ensure proper brightness and longevity. Observe correct polarity when connecting; the longer lead is typically the anode. For through-hole assemblies, solder leads on the PCB side and trim excess lead length as needed.

Usage recommendations

To maintain consistent brightness and prevent damage, operate the LED with proper current control and avoid exceeding the recommended forward current. For panel installations, consider using a diffuser or bezel if a wider viewing angle or reduced glare is required. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures outside the component's rated range.
