Electronic Components: LEDs

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are essential electronic components for various applications and prototypes. They are easy to use and perfect for exploring different concepts. In this blog post, we will focus on 5mm LEDs commonly used for prototyping. An LED has two leads: the anode and the cathode. The anode is usually longer than the cathode. It is crucial to connect the anode to the positive lead (+) and the cathode to the negative lead (-) correctly to ensure the LED functions properly....
