LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) Sensor 3mm

Light Dependent Resistor

The Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) or also popularly known as Photoresistor is just another special type of Resistor and hence has no polarity so they can be connected in any direction. They are breadboard friendly and can be easily used on a perf board also. The symbol for LDR is similar to Resistor but includes inward arrows as shown above in the LDR pinout diagram. The arrows indicate the light signals.
