LED – RGB Common Cathode

Overview

These really cool RGB LEDs have four pins with the Cathode is the longest pin. One for each colour and a common cathode.  This LED can be used as 3 status indicators or you can PWM all pins to get a nice blend of different colours

Features:

• Tri-color: Red, Green, Blue
• Long life – solid state reliability
• Long lead length (26mm)
• Versatile mounting on PC board or panel
• Common Anode configuration. (Common Cathode (ground) version is P/N: 2125181)
• Can be color mixed with PWM output to create virtually any color
• Triple Output
