Mini Photocell (LDR - Light Dependent Resistor)

This is a very small photocell. A photocell changes (also called a photodetector, CdS or photoconductive cell) resistance depending on the amount of light it is exposed to. These little sensors make great ambient light triggers (when light in the room turns on, do something).

Features:

• Light resistance : 8~20k Ohm
• Dark resistance : 1M Ohm (min)
• Max voltage : 150V
• Max power: 100mW

Dimensions:

• 2 x 4 x 5mm
• 4mm between pins
• 31mm lead length
