Common-Cathode RGB LED 5mm (5 Pcs)
Common-Cathode RGB LED 5mm (5 Pcs)
This pack of five 5mm common-cathode RGB LEDs lets you mix red, green, and blue light from a single package. Each LED has four legs - one shared ground and one for each colour - so you can create any colour with simple PWM control.
Specifications
- Quantity: 5 pieces
- Size: 5mm through-hole package
- Type: common cathode (shared ground)
- Pins: 4 (red, green, blue, common ground)
- Use current-limiting resistors on each colour pin
Compatible with
Works with any board that has PWM-capable output pins, including Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi. Suitable for breadboard and perfboard builds.
What you can build with it
- Colour-mixing demos and mood lamps
- Multi-state status indicators
- Reaction games and learning projects
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden order includes our AI build companion, delivered by QR code, email, and WhatsApp, to help you wire, flash, and program Common-Cathode RGB LED 5mm (5 Pcs) into a working project. We have spent 10 years supplying boards and components to makers, schools, and engineering institutions across India. When a build does not behave as expected, our team and the AI companion help you debug it.
Is this common cathode or common anode?
These are common-cathode LEDs, meaning the longest leg is the shared ground.
Do I need resistors?
Yes, use a current-limiting resistor on each colour pin to protect the LED.
Can I make any colour?
Yes, by varying the brightness of red, green, and blue with PWM you can mix a wide range of colours.
