LEDs and resistors

05/08/202319/04/2025

In my case LEDs are connected to a 3.3V power supply by default. Some LEDs does not require a resistors and some does.

Most LEDs works best around 0.020A.

The table below has been tested with an Voltcraft DSP-3005V power regulator. You can also check the resistor calculator, they will correspondent with the table below.

* typically 2.0V for red/yellow/green, 3.0V for white/blue

Turns out that the LED (center pins) will work correctly around 2v, 0.020A.
