Light-sensitive photoresistor (LDR) 5 mm diameter

The light-sensitive photoresistor (LDR) with a 5 mm diameter is a semiconductor component whose resistance decreases as the intensity of light falling on it increases. This property makes it a simple and reliable light sensor. The element is widely used in dusk-to-dawn switches, automatic lighting, security alarm systems, and educational and hobbyist DIY projects based on the Arduino platform. Features: Product type: photoresistor / light-sensitive sensor (LDR / Light Dependent Resistor) Specifications: 5 mm element diameter, inverse dependence of resistance on illumination, two lead contacts Purpose: measuring ambient light level, building automatic light control systems, robotics and microcontroller circuits
