5mm RGB LED Diffused / Clear CC / CA

The 5mm RGB LED is a versatile, full-colour light-emitting diode that combines red, green, and blue elements within a single 5mm package, allowing you to produce virtually any colour by mixing the three channels. Available in four variants — Diffused Common Cathode, Diffused Common Anode, Clear Common Cathode, and Clear Common Anode — this LED suits a wide range of project requirements and circuit configurations.

Diffused variants produce a softer, wider-angle glow ideal for indicator lights and mood lighting, while clear variants offer a brighter, more focused beam suited for displays and directional lighting. Common Cathode types share a single negative terminal, while Common Anode types share a single positive terminal — choose the variant that best matches your microcontroller or driver circuit.

Perfectly compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and all standard microcontroller platforms. An essential component for beginners and experienced hobbyists alike.
