CdS light-dependent resistor. Resistance decreases as light increases. Adafruit product 161 currently specifies approximately 1 kΩ in light and 10 kΩ in dark; either lead may be used on either side of a voltage divider.
Symmetric photoresistor terminal; either lead may be used on either side of the divider.
Symmetric photoresistor terminal; either lead may be used on either side of the divider.
