RGB LED Diffused Common Cathode - 4Pin

4-pin Diffused Common Cathode RGB LED features a translucent (milky) lens that scatters light to blend colors smoothly and provide a wider viewing angle. Unlike clear LEDs that project sharp beams, the diffused version is ideal for indicators and ambient lighting because it hides individual color chips and reduces glare

Technical Specifications

standard 5mm diffused RGB LEDs operate within these parameters: 

• Forward Voltage: Red typically ranges from 1.8V to 2.3V, while Green and Blue require 2.8V to 3.4V.
• Forward Current: Rated at 20mA per color, totaling a maximum of 60mA if all colors are fully active.
• Luminosity: Varies by color; for example, SparkFun's model is rated at roughly 2800mcd for Red, 6500mcd for Green, and 1200mcd for Blue.
• Common Cathode Pin: The longest pin is the shared ground (negative) for all three internal LEDs.
