This small Cadmium Sulphide (CdS) Light Dependent Resistor cell is a fundamental component for electronics hobbyists and engineers working on light-sensing circuits. It functions by varying its resistance based on the amount of ambient light hitting its surface, making it perfect for automatic lighting controls or light metering projects.
With a specified dark resistance of over 10MΩ and a light resistance between 48kΩ and 140kΩ, this component offers predictable performance within defined parameters. Its small dimensions (5.1mm x 4.3mm) and standard 3.4mm lead spacing ensure easy integration onto standard breadboards or PCBs for quick prototyping and testing
