RGB Color LED Diffused 4-Pin Common Cathode 5mm
The RGB Color LED Diffused 4-Pin Common Cathode 5mm combines three LED elements—red, green, and blue—inside a single 5mm diffused package. Each color can be controlled independently, allowing the LED to produce individual colors as well as mixed colors by adjusting the brightness of the three internal elements. The diffused lens provides a softer and more evenly distributed light output.
This common-cathode configuration uses one shared negative terminal for all three LED elements, while the red, green, and blue elements have separate positive terminals. It can be controlled directly from microcontroller GPIO pins through suitable current-limiting resistors, making it useful for status indicators, user interfaces, decorative lighting, and color-based feedback in electronic projects.
Features:
- Three LED colors integrated into one compact package.
- Diffused lens for smooth and uniform light output.
- Common-cathode configuration.
- Independent control of red, green, and blue channels.
- Supports mixed-color generation.
- Through-hole design for easy PCB installation.
- Suitable for breadboards and prototyping.
- Compatible with microcontroller-based projects.
