Hi All !
This post was edited by ToddB74 on 7-29-2015 and again on 8-05-2015, to up-date specifications and attach my latest circuit drawing.
As explained in my original post, I built a simple Portable Outlet Box and would like to add a Red LED that will be lit when the switch is in the ON position.
The LED bulb will be a Red Super Bright, with specifications as follows:
Size : 5 mm
Lens Shape : Round
Wavelength/Color Temperature: 620-630nm
Luminous Intensity : 8000 - 10000 mcd
Viewing angle : 30 deg
Forward Voltage : 1.9 - 2.1 V
Forward Current : 20 mA
Maximum Operating Temperature : +100 C = 212 F
Minimum Operating Temperature : -20 C = -4 F
Series Resistor Ohms = 220
Series Resistor Watts = 1/4
Series Capacitor = 470 nF
Bridge Rectifier Diodes = 1N-4007
Fuse = Source : TAYDA ELECTRONICS
Manufacturer : SUNELEC
MPN : Fuse Glass F 1A 6 x 30mm
SKU: A-1017
Fuse Type : Fast Acting
Current : 1A
Voltage Rated : 250V
Material : Glass Tube
Dimension : 6x30mm
Note, on the attached up-dated circuit drawing I have indicated two possible places for the fuse, i.e. letters A and B within circles. I'm leaning toward B, but thinking it probably makes little difference. What would your choice be ? Misterbenn replied fuse location B.
Another thing I would appreciate is your critique of the above specifications and the attached drawing and letting me know if you see any problems.
Thanks for replies on the above.
