Sensational Led Wiring Diagram Calculator
This led calculator designs a simple one led with one series resistor or multi led array circuit with series led chains combined in parallel clusters.
Led wiring diagram calculator. To get started input the required fields below and hit the design circuit. But generally you can use 330 or 220 ohm resistor with any led or you can also use 1k resistor if the proper values are not available. A red led typically has a forward voltage drop of approximately 1 8 volts increasing to approximately 3 3 volts in a blue led as the colors move through the spectrum.
If you already know how to design led arrays you can use it to check your calculations. These current and voltage values are not exact and can be vary according to the battery capacity and led. This value will likely be between 1 8 and 3 3 volts.
The led calculator will display the resistance value draw a small schematic and show you the color code of the nearest lower and higher standard 5 resistor. The led forward voltage drop is usually found in the datasheet for your led. If you do not have this value it can usually be determine used a multimeter diode setting.
You can also calculate the resistance value by using this led resistor calculator.
