hi everyone, I am new to this forum, hope I am posting a thread
in the right place, if not could any MOD please place my thread
correctly... thanx
guys i need to know how to connect my resistor to a LED
i have 12 white leds 5mm that is 3.6v each @ 30mA
im using a 12V power supply for it, i have 12 resistors
for them that are 390ohms and 0.25watts its band colour is of
1. orange
2. white
3. brown
4. gold
the assistant at the electrical shop told me these are the best for my leds, but i forgot to ask him how should it be connected, i have read that you connect the resistor to the positive pin of the LED, but i have read on the net its best to connect all of them
in series,but i have not seen any diagrams, could anyone please help me with a diagram or even verbal explanation on how i could connect all the led with a resistor each in a series manner...
thanx guys... ;)
