LED
LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are semiconductor devices that emit light when an electric current passes through them. They are widely used in various applications due to their efficiency, long life, and compact size. LEDs come in different colors, sizes, and brightness levels, making them versatile for a wide range of applications, from indicator lights to full-color displays.
When selecting an LED for a project, it's important to consider parameters such as color, brightness (luminous intensity), forward voltage, and package size. The choice of LED depends on the application's requirements, such as the desired color output, brightness level, and space constraints.
LEDs offer several advantages over traditional lighting sources, including lower energy consumption, longer lifespan, and faster switching. They are also more durable and reliable, which makes them suitable for use in a variety of environments.
In addition to their technical specifications, LEDs can be chosen based on their package type, which affects how they can be mounted on a circuit board. Surface-mount LEDs, like the SML-D13FWT86C, are popular in compact electronic devices due to their small size and ease of integration into electronic circuits.
