LED - RGB Diffused Common Anode
1266 units available with a short lead time.
A 5 mm diffused RGB LED with a common anode configuration. Three individual colour channels (red, green, blue) share a single anode pin, allowing independent control of each colour. Use it as a multi-colour status indicator, or drive all three channels with PWM to mix custom colours.
The diffused lens provides a wider viewing angle compared to clear LEDs, producing a softer, more evenly distributed light output.
