Wiring & getting started

  1. Identify polarity

    The longer lead is normally the anode (+). The shorter lead and the flat side of the body identify the cathode (-).

  2. Add a resistor

    Use a current-limiting resistor in series. A conservative starting point is 100 ohm at 3.3V or 220 ohm at 5V.

  3. Connect with power off

    Wire supply positive to the resistor, then the LED anode. Connect the cathode to ground.

  4. Power and check

    If it does not light, switch off and check polarity before trying again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions buyers ask most.

How do I identify the positive and negative leads?
The longer lead is normally the anode (+). The shorter lead and the flat side of the LED body identify the cathode (-).
Do I need a resistor?
Yes. Always use a current-limiting resistor in series with the LED. A conservative starting point is 100 ohm at 3.3V or 220 ohm at 5V.
Are resistors included?
No. The order contains your selected quantity of red or green 5mm LEDs only.
What happens if the LED does not light?
Switch the power off, check the polarity and confirm the resistor and wiring are connected in series before trying again.

Why Buy from NZN

Useful parts, fair prices and someone local to help.

I'm Lukas, an engineering student and maker based in Te Awamutu. NZN grew out of a CNC build that dragged on for months because every missing cable, bolt or electronic part meant another overseas order. I started the shop so Kiwi makers can spend more time building and less time waiting for the next parcel.
