Typical drop across an LED is about 1.45v. A unit rated at 5v likely
has a build in voltage drop/current limiter (read resistor). I would
suggest reading the info sheet for absolute ratings.
In general, 'any' generic LED will work. Buy the cheapest that will
fit.

| What are the L.E.D. voltage ratings for the L.E.D's on the interface board I purchased one(at Radio shack) with a rating of five volts. Which should be O.K right? any help would be appreciated. I have to improvise to get such components cheap. Thanx (...) (26 years ago, 22-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
