LED

PollEx DFM searches for resisters near Light Emitting Diode (LED) components.

A LED emits light when an electric current pass through it. The simplest circuit to power a LED is a voltage source with a resistor and a LED in series. Such a resistor is often called a ballast resistor. The ballast resistor is used to limit the current through the LED and to prevent burns.

The LED dialog contains the following sections:
  • LED Component Definition: Specify the LED target component that should be placed with a resister in one terminal.

    • Target Component Selection: Set the LED component from the component list.
  • Resistor Component Definition
    • Resistor Component Selection: Set the resistor component from the component list.
