LEDs - Circuit Board Indicators, Arrays, Light Bars, Bar Graphs - offer illumination or light emission for a variety of applications, including displays, billboards, backlights, and signaling. The 5600A20 application field and working principle are essential to understand when selecting this type of LED.

Application Field

The 5600A20 LED is an extremely bright, high intensity red light in a 5mm LED package. It has a wide viewing angle and peak wavelength of 660nm. It is most often used for lamps, signals, poles, markers, backlights, and status indicators. This LED is also suitable for visual or audible indicators in complex equipment, such as medical and laboratory instrumentation, displays, gauges, electronic controls and switch panels.

Working Principle

LEDs produce light when electrical current passes through them. The 5600A20 is a red light emitting diode, meaning it produces light in the visible spectrum when a current is applied. The 5600A20 has an integrated Light Emitting Chip (LRC). The LRC is the core component of the 5600A20 and is responsible for the intensity of the light produced by the 5600A20. The 5600A20 has two terminals, an anode and a cathode. When a voltage is applied to the terminals, current will flow through the LED and the LRC will produce light. The more current that passes through the LED, the brighter the light will be. The 5600A20 also has a built-in limiting resistor that prevents excessive current from flowing through the LED. Without this resistor, it is possible that the current could exceed the maximum rating of the LED, which would permanently damage it.

Conclusion

The 5600A20 LED is an excellent choice for high intensity, directional red lighting applications. Its wide viewing angle and peak wavelength of 660nm make it an ideal choice for lamps, signals, poles, markers, backlights, and status indicators. Its integrated Light Emitting Chip (LRC) and built-in limiting resistor make it a reliable and safe choice for many applications.
