Selection and Application Guidance
The 5mm round-top (F5/T-1¾) LED is the classic through-hole indicator LED, used in display pixels, traffic signals and equipment status indicators. Viewing angle is the key selection factor: the 15° focused version delivers up to 20000mcd for signals visible at long distances, while 45°~60° diffused versions provide uniform close-range indication. Hongcheng Optoelectronics F5 series offers a full range of angle bins from 15° to 60°, supplied in mcd bins. LEDs from the same bin provide consistent brightness when mixed, with no color differences between assembled display sections.
Ordering and Inquiry Information
