Product Specifications

• Size: 5mm
• Material: Semiconductor Materials having high resistivity like Silicon or Germanium and copper
• Package content: Light Dependent Resistor or LDR of 5 pieces
• Shape: Round
• Also called photoresistor, photocells, photoconductor and photo conducting cell

LDR Stands for Light Dependent Resistor and its Resistivity varies with Incident Electromagnetic Radiations so its resistivity is a function of Incident Electromagnetic Radiations or light. Other names of LDR are photoresistor Photoconductor Photocell and photo conducting cell

LDR is made of Semiconductor materials with high Resistance like Silicon or Germanium. It is a light-sensitive device so this resistor has a different resistance value in day and night as given below

Daylight: 5000

Dark: 20000000
