Frequently asked questions
What are the color bands for 430 ohm?
430 Ω uses yellow, orange, brown bands: digits 4 and 3 followed by a ×10 multiplier.
How much LED current does it allow from a 5V supply?
For a red LED with about 2 V forward drop on a 5 V supply, the current is roughly (5 − 2) ÷ 430 ≈ 7 mA. The maximum current at the 0.25 W rating is about 24 mA, so this setup stays well within the limit.
