Producing a slightly lighter, lime-toned green hue, it is the perfect component for creating highly differentiated status indicators that stand out at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable at Tomson Electronics, this 5mm EVL LED features a tinted, matte-finish epoxy lens that scatters the internal light. This diffusion creates a soft, evenly distributed glow that is easily visible from wide angles without causing eye strain. Featuring a standard 2.54mm pitch, it slides effortlessly into solderless breadboards, perfboards, and manufactured PCBs for fast, reliable prototyping and final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommonly searched as:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5mm parrot green led, lime green diffused led, matte green indicator diode, custom status led, breadboard led, EVL through hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmitting Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Parrot Green (Lime Green hue)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLens Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Parrot Green Tinted \/ Diffused (Opaque)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForward Voltage (Vf):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.0V to 2.2V (Typical)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForward Current (If):\u003c\/strong\u003e 20mA (Recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViewing Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wide (Typically 45° to 60°)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Through-Hole (DIP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-Pin (Long Lead = Anode\/Positive, Short Lead = Cathode\/Negative)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCommon Applications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced User Interfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Differentiating system statuses on custom enclosures (e.g., using standard green for \"Power\" and parrot green for \"Data Link\").\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRobotics Diagnostics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Providing clear, wide-angle visual debugging for active sensor arrays and operational states on autonomous vehicles and mechanical systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreadboard Prototyping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quickly visualizing high logic states during the development of microcontrollers like the Arduino Uno or ESP32.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Model Lighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adding unique, vibrant accent lighting to architectural dioramas, scale models, or custom PC builds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the difference between this and a standard green LED?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A standard green LED emits a deeper, emerald-like hue. A \"Parrot Green\" LED emits a slightly lighter, more vibrant lime-green color. This is incredibly useful if you have a control panel that requires multiple green indicators and you want the user to easily tell them apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the exact difference between a Clear LED and a Diffused LED?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A \u003cem\u003eClear (Water Clear) LED\u003c\/em\u003e acts like a tiny spotlight; it is very bright when looking straight down the lens, but hard to see from the side. A \u003cem\u003eDiffused LED\u003c\/em\u003e (like this one) acts like a tiny lightbulb; it spreads the light evenly in all directions, making it ideal for indicator panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do I still need a resistor for this LED?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. If connecting to a standard 5V logic pin, you must use a current-limiting resistor (typically 220-ohm or 330-ohm) to prevent the LED from burning out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 5mm Parrot Green LED (Diffused Lens) - EVL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TOMSON ELECTRONICS","offers":[{"title":"EVL","offer_id":49488654827758,"sku":"LED-28900","price":1.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2132\/9029\/files\/5mm_Parrot_Green_LED_Diffused_Lens.jpg?v=1787591533","url":"https:\/\/www.tomsonelectronics.com\/products\/5mm-parrot-green-led-diffused-lens","provider":"Tomson Electronics ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
