Photoresistor 90mW

Product Description

The PGM5506-MP is a passive light-dependent resistor (LDR), also known as a photocell, whose resistance varies with ambient light intensity. It is ideal for applications such as light detection, automatic lighting control, light meters, alarm systems, and educational electronics projects using microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

This component features a through-hole (THT) mounting style, making it easy to install on breadboards or prototyping boards. The compact 5.5 mm diameter housing offers good sensitivity, with peak response at a 540 nm wavelength (green light).
