I'm not an engineer, but I'm working on a membrane switch project that will have embedded leds. I'm hoping you could help me understand the spec info. What does the following info mean?
Vf typical (V): 2.0,
If (mA) Max: 30,
Iv typical mcd@ mA: 6 @ 10

Thanks for your help,
DD

VF = Voltage Forward at rated amps. LED's are diode and operating voltage varies with current.

Iv is Luminous Intensity, this how bright the LED will be. 6 mcd's at 10 mA (milliamps)
