LED - RGB Diffused Common Anode

Sparkfun's RGB Diffused Common Anode LED is a compact 5mm unit that comes with four pins, each dedicated to a specific color: Red, Green, and Blue, with a common anode. This LED can be utilized for three status indicators or to create mixed colors through pulse width modulation.

The distinguishing feature of this LED is its diffused nature. Although this results in a slightly dimmer appearance, it provides a wider viewing angle which is beneficial in various applications.

It's important to note that while the datasheet provided is for the common cathode version of these LEDs, all the values remain the same except for the fact that these LEDs share an anode instead of a cathode. An updated datasheet will be made available as soon as possible.

The key features of the RGB Diffused Common Anode LED include:

• Forward Voltage (RGB): (2.0, 3.2, 3.2)V
• Max Forward Current (RGB): (20, 20, 20)mA
• Max Luminosity (RGB): (2800, 6500, 1200)mcd

For more information about the product and its usage, you can refer to the datasheet and the LED tutorial provided by Sparkfun.

Whether you're a hobbyist looking to add some color to your projects or a professional seeking reliable components, the RGB Diffused Common Anode LED from Sparkfun is a versatile and reliable choice.
