Product Description The 5mm 4-Pin RGB LED is a versatile light source that combines Red, Green, and Blue diodes into a single 5mm package. This version is a Common Cathode (CC) configuration, meaning all three internal LEDs share a single negative ground pin. By providing power to the individual color pins and varying the voltage (using PWM), you can create thousands of colors, from vibrant purples and cyans to a crisp white. The water-clear lens ensures a high-intensity, focused beam, making it perfect for custom indicators, mood lighting, and robotics projects where you need to display multiple status states with a single component.

Key Features

Full-Color Spectrum: Create any color by mixing Red, Green, and Blue intensities.
Common Cathode Design: Simplifies wiring for most microcontroller projects (one ground pin for all colors).
Focused Brilliance: Water-clear lens provides maximum brightness and a sharp, point-source light.
Compact Integration: Replaces three individual LEDs with one space-saving 5mm component.
Through-Hole Mounting: Standard 4-pin layout fits breadboards and perf-boards easily.

Pin Configuration

Pin 1: Red Anode (+)
Pin 2: Common Cathode (-) [Longest Pin]
Pin 3: Green Anode (+)
Pin 4: Blue Anode (+)

Technical Details

Operating Temperature: -25°C to +85°C
Storage Temperature: -30°C to +100°C
Soldering Temp: 260°C for less than 5 seconds
Luminous Intensity: Red (2000 mcd) / Green (5000 mcd) / Blue (3000 mcd)

Prototyping and Engineering Tips from Robogears

Resistor Selection is Critical: Because each color has a different forward voltage, you must use different resistor values for each pin to ensure uniform brightness and prevent burnout.
- For 5V (Arduino): Use a 150Ω to 220Ω resistor for Green and Blue, and a 220Ω to 330Ω resistor for Red.
PWM Color Mixing: To create colors like orange or pink, connect the three anode pins to PWM-enabled pins on your Arduino (like D3, D5, and D6). Use the analogWrite() command to blend the intensities.
The Longest Pin: Always identify the longest pin first—that is your Ground (Cathode). The other three pins are for the colors.
Diffuser Tip: Because the lens is clear, you might see individual red, green, and blue spots if you look closely. If you want a perfectly blended "single" color, place a small piece of translucent white tape over the LED or use it with a 3D-printed diffuser.
