LEDs - Circuit Board Indicators, Arrays, Light Bars, Bar Graphs

5610004811F is a type of LED, a light-emitting diode, and is a family of LEDs sold by a variety of electronics suppliers. This particular model of LED is a surface-mount, a type of mounting which places the LED directly on a circuit board, such as through-hole circuitry. It is known as having an intermediate intensity and came in single colour packages.

Application Field

The 5610004811F is commonly used in applications where it is necessary to indicate the operational status of a device, such as the "on" or "off" status of a motor or indicating the success or failure of a test. Additionally, it can be used to monitor the availability or performance of a peripheral device such as a modem. This particular LED is also very popular for applications related to instrumentation, where it can be used to read and display data such as temperature, pressure or flow rate.

Working Principle

The basic functioning principle of an LED is that when electric current passes through it, the LED emits light in a visible spectrum. The amount of light emitted is directly proportional to the amount of current passed. A current limiting resistor must be used in order for the LED to work correctly, as directly applying current to an LED can cause it to burn out. The LED also needs to be connected to a power source such as a battery or power supply.

When used in circuits, the LED must be connected to the positive side of the power supply. This allows current to flow from the positive side of the power supply, through the LED and then out through the negative side. When current flows through the LED, it will emit light in a variety of colours depending on the type of LED and the type of material used to construct it. In the case of the 5610004811F, it will emit a single colour of light such as red, green, blue or white.

In order to control the amount of current that flows through the LED, a potentiometer or variable resistor can be used. This component is connected in series with the LED and its resistance can be adjusted. By increasing or decreasing the resistance of the potentiometer, the current flowing through the LED can be controlled, allowing the amount of light it emits to be regulated.

Overall, the 5610004811F is a popular LED due to its versatility and relatively low cost. It is used in a variety of applications and its versatility makes it a reliable choice in many different types of circuits. Its relative low cost and intermediate intensity also make it an attractive option for many applications.
