1、 The working principle of piranha light beads
Piranha LED bead, also known as 5050 LED, is a high brightness, low-energy LED bead. Its working principle is the same as that of ordinary LEDs, which generates photons through the recombination of charge carriers in PN junctions, thereby achieving luminescence. Piranha light beads have a large light-emitting area and high brightness, so in practical applications, they need to be used with appropriate driving circuits and resistors.
2、 Method for selecting resistors
Choosing the appropriate resistor is crucial for the normal operation of piranha light bulbs. The main function of a resistor is to limit the current and prevent damage to the LED due to overcurrent. When choosing a resistor, we need to consider the following factors:
1. Rated voltage and rated current of LED
The rated voltage and rated current of piranha lamp beads are key parameters for selecting resistors. Usually, the rated voltage of LED is around 3V, and the rated current is between 20mA and 50mA. When selecting resistors, we need to ensure that the operating current of the LED is within the rated current range.
2. Power supply voltage
The power supply voltage is another important factor in selecting resistors. In practical applications, we need to calculate the required resistance value based on the power supply voltage used. The calculation formula is as follows:
Resistance value (R)=(Power supply voltage (V) - LED rated voltage (V))/LED rated current (I)
For example, if we use a 5V power supply voltage to light up a piranha bulb with a rated voltage of 3V and a rated current of 20mA, the required resistance value is:
R=(5V-3V)/0.02A=100Ω
Therefore, we need to choose a resistor with a resistance of 100 Ω to limit the current and ensure the normal operation of the LED.
3. Power of the resistor
When choosing a resistor, we also need to pay attention to the power of the resistor. The power of a resistor depends on the current it passes through and the voltage at both ends. In order to ensure that the resistor will not overheat and be damaged during long-term operation, we need to choose a resistor with appropriate power. Generally speaking, the power of a resistor should be at least twice its actual operating power.
3、 Precautions in practical operation
In practical operation, we need to pay attention to the following issues:
1. Accurately measure the voltage and current parameters of the LED and power supply to ensure the accuracy of the selected resistor.
2. Use appropriate welding tools and techniques for welding to avoid damaging the LED and resistor.
When installing resistors, ensure that their position is stable and fixed to avoid loosening or detachment during operation.
4. For LED circuits that require long-term operation, the resistance and LED working status should be checked regularly to ensure their normal operation.
When selecting resistors, priority should be given to brands and products with reliable quality and stable performance to ensure the stability and safety of the circuit.
4、 Summary
Choosing the appropriate resistor is crucial for the normal operation of piranha light bulbs. By accurately calculating the voltage and current parameters of the LED and power supply, we can select appropriate resistance values to limit current, protect the LED, and ensure its normal operation. In practical operation, we need to pay attention to welding techniques, fixing the position of resistors, and regularly checking the working status of circuits. By selecting and using resistors reasonably, we can make piranha light beads play a greater role in lighting and indication.
