Add readable letters, numbers and symbols to your next electronics project with this compact 14-segment LED display. Compared with a standard seven-segment module, the extra segments make it much more suitable for alphanumeric readouts.
The display uses a common-anode configuration and provides four 14-segment digits. Each digit also includes its own decimal point, giving you flexibility for clocks, counters, status displays and compact user interfaces.
A datasheet is available from the manufacturer for pinout and electrical details, making it straightforward to design into a custom PCB or wire into a prototype.

- White display: White LED display
- Alphanumeric characters: Displays numbers, characters and symbols
- Four digits: Four 14-segment digits
- Decimal points: One decimal point per digit
Specifications:
- Display colour: White
- Polarity: Common Anode
- Dimensions: 40mm x 11.95mm
- Digits: Four 14-segment digits

- Max forward voltage: 3.6V
- Continuous forward current: 20mA
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- common-anode
- A wiring arrangement where several LEDs or LED segments share a common positive (anode) terminal and are switched individually on their negative (cathode) side. Common-anode and common-cathode parts, such as RGB LEDs, seven-segment displays, matrices and strips, are not interchangeable without a suitable driver.
- continuous forward current
- The amount of current a diode can carry in its normal conducting direction for an extended time without overheating. This rating helps you choose a diode that can safely handle the load in your circuit.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
