10 pcs 5mm RGB LED Common Cathode

Description:

This package contains 10 pieces of 5 mm RGB LED (Red, Green, Blue) with a Common Cathode configuration. These through-hole LEDs are essential components for hobby electronics, prototyping, educational projects, and custom lighting applications where full-color mixing is required. The common cathode design simplifies wiring when connected to a microcontroller, requiring only a single ground connection for all three color channels. With a standard 5 mm size, they are ideal for breadboards and custom circuit boards.

Features:

Full Color Spectrum: Capable of producing a wide range of colors, including white, by mixing the Red, Green, and Blue light intensities.
Common Cathode Configuration: All three color chips (R, G, B) share a single negative (ground) pin, simplifying circuitry and control when using a positive voltage source to drive each color.
Standard 5 mm Diameter: The common size for most through-hole LED applications, ensuring compatibility with standard sockets, bezels, and breadboards.
Four-Pin Design: Features four leads—one common cathode pin and three anode pins (one for each color).
High Brightness: Provides a bright, clear light output suitable for indicator lights or ambient lighting.
