## Description

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. Key Features Common Anode – Single shared anode pin with three independent cathodes (R, G, B) Diffused Lens – Wide viewing angle with soft, even light distribution PWM Compatible – Mix colours by modulating individual channels Standard 5 mm Package – Through-hole, 4-pin Specifications Package – 5 mm diffused, 4-pin through-hole Configuration – Common anode Forward Voltage – Red: 2.0 V, Green: 3.2 V, Blue: 3.2 V Max Forward Current – 20 mA per channel Max Luminosity – Red: 2,800 mcd, Green: 6,500 mcd, Blue: 1,200 mcd Ideal For Multi-colour status indicators Arduino and microcontroller projects Mood lighting and decorative displays Learning about LED colour mixing Package Contents 1× RGB diffused LED (common anode) Resources Datasheet (PDF) LED Tutorial (SparkFun)
