Description LDR Photosensitive Resistor

An LDR Light Sensitive Resistor is a compact and versatile component. The resistor adapts to the ambient light. In the dark, the resistance is high, around 1MOhm. In the light, this resistance drops considerably. This varies from about 10KOhm to 20KOhm. This makes the LDR ideal for projects where light detection is important. It is small in size, with dimensions of only 5.0 x 2.0 mm. This makes it easy to integrate into various applications. The maximum voltage it can handle is 150V DC.
