Light Dependent Resistor(LDR) 5 mm

Description

The Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) 5 mm is a widely used photoresistor ideal for detecting light levels in both indoor and outdoor environments. As ambient light increases, the resistance of this sensor decreases, making it perfect for applications such as automatic lighting control, night detection, and sensor-based automation systems.

Its compact 5mm diameter and through-hole mounting design make it easy to integrate into PCBs, breadboards, and other DIY projects. This component is especially popular in educational electronics kits, streetlight automation, and security systems that react to changes in lighting conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

• Highly Sensitive to Light: Resistance varies with ambient light exposure, making it ideal for light sensing circuits.

• Dark Resistance: Ranges from 1 to 20 MΩ, ensuring accurate detection in low-light environments.

• Compact Size (5mm): Suitable for small and space-constrained designs.

• Easy Integration: With a 2-pin through-hole design, it’s perfect for PCBs or breadboards.

• Robust Temperature Tolerance: Can function at high temperatures (up to approx. +800°C).

• Reliable Performance: Stable and durable across a variety of environments.

Applications

• Automatic streetlight systems

• Day/night detection switches

• Security systems (beam interruption, presence sensing)

• Smart home lighting

• Smoke detectors

• Camera exposure controls

• DIY electronic projects and robotics
