LED 5mm PTH - similar LED?

1

I have a task for my school about connecting a LED 5mmPTH to a GPIO pin of RPI4 and turning it on/off.
LED 5mmPTH is out of stock at Core Electronics.

What similar LED can I buy to use for my task in my situation? I need also a resistor if I buy a non PTH LED? (Sorry, not sure about technical meaning of PTH of a LED)
Thank you very much for your support

Hi Gheoghe
Apparently TTH means “Plating Through Holes” which in essence means it is a “Through Hole” device (not surface mount) which is nothing special. Any LED with long leads will be “PTH”.

These are generic 5mm LEDs. You can get it at any electronics shop.

Thank you very much Lia.
But still, I need to use resistors when I connect them to my Rpi device?

Yes. See, for instance:
