Yellow LED 3mm Diffused — General Purpose, 10-Pack for Arduino, Breadboard & Compact PCB Projects
The 3mm diffused yellow LED is the compact general-purpose warning and status indicator LED for Arduino, breadboard, and space-constrained PCB projects. At 3mm diameter, this LED fits into tight PCB layouts and compact enclosures where standard 5mm LEDs are too large. Yellow is the universal caution/warning color in electronics — instantly communicating a standby, processing, or warning state to the user.
The diffused lens scatters light evenly across a wide viewing angle, providing omnidirectional visibility. Yellow LEDs have a forward voltage of approximately 2.0–2.2V, making them compatible with both 3.3V and 5V Arduino circuits with a current-limiting resistor. Supplied in a 10-pack.
Key Features
- 3mm through-hole package — compact size for space-constrained PCB layouts
- Diffused lens — wide viewing angle (~120°)
- Yellow color — universal caution/warning/standby indicator color
- Forward voltage ~2.0–2.2V — compatible with 3.3V and 5V circuits
- 10-pack
How to Use with Arduino
- Connect the anode (longer leg) to an Arduino digital output pin through a 220–330Ω current-limiting resistor
- Connect the cathode (shorter leg) to GND
- Set the digital pin HIGH to turn on, LOW to turn off
Typical Applications
- Warning and caution indicators — yellow is the universal caution/warning color
- Traffic light Arduino projects — yellow signal in traffic light projects
- Standby and processing indicators — indicates system is active but not ready
- Compact PCB status indicators — warning and mode indicators on miniature PCBs
- Wearable electronics — small LED indicators for wearable devices
- Educational electronics kits — STEM and electronics learning projects
