Description / 3mm Round Top Yellow / Gold LED - Ultra Bright
The 3mm Yellow LED (Round Top, Clear) is the standard through-hole LED for indicator signal and general-purpose status LED. Clear lens with a focused 20-30 Degrees beam — bright and directional, the classic DIP LED that fits every breadboard, panel bezel, and holder on the market.
The 3mm (T-1) head is the compact choice — fits smaller enclosures, 1590A/1590B pedal boxes, and scales realistically for HO and N gauge model railroad signals and indicator positions.
