LEDs for LED Illuminated Pushbutton - 30mm?

Post by Human »

Hi!

The LEDs included with my round and square 30mm light-up buttons are shorter than the others I've been getting. I've measured my baseline LEDs and the ones included with the buttons, and they're each ~5mm in diameter. What are the specs on the stubby LEDs? What are those called? Everyone seems to sell LEDs by diameter, not length.

Are you referring to the length of the leads? There's no standard for that. It's just a manufacturing thing.
