3mm LED Red 1.8Volt / 20 milliamps

3mm LED Red is a small, round electronic component that emits red light when current is applied. LED RED typically use for indicators, such as power lights or status indicators. 3mm red LEDs are a versatile and affordable component that can use in a variety of applications.

The forward voltage of a 3mm red LED is typically between 1.8 and 2.2 volts. This means that if you apply a voltage of 1.8 to 2.2 volts to the LED, it will turn on and emit light. If you apply a voltage that is too high, the LED will damage.

The maximum current that a 3mm red LED can handle is typically 20 milliamps. This means that if you apply a current of 20 milliamps to the LED, it will not be damaged. If you apply a current that is too high, the LED will be damaged.

It is important to use a resistor to limit the current through a 3mm red LED. This will help to protect the LED from damage. The value of the resistor will depend on the voltage that you are applying to the LED. For example, if you are applying a voltage of 5 volts to the LED, you would need to use a resistor with a value of about 220 ohms. This would limit the current through the LED to 20 milliamps.

The working principle of a 3mm red LED is based on the principle of electroluminescence. Electroluminescence is the emission of light by a semiconductor when an electric current is passed through it.
