RGB LED — 5mm Common Cathode, Discrete 4-Pin (100-Pack)

A genuine discrete 5mm RGB LED in the common-cathode configuration — a standalone 4-leg through-hole component, not a driver module or breakout board. Ideal for lessons that wire and control red, green, and blue channels directly from GPIO/PWM pins rather than through an addressable LED module.

Highlights

• 5mm diffused RGB LED, common-cathode wiring
• 4-pin through-hole package (R, G, B anodes + shared cathode)
• Forward voltage: 2.0V–3.4V
• Rated for 100,000 hours of life
• Sold in a 100-piece pack

Typical Uses

Mixing-color LED lessons, mood lighting projects, and any build that needs to drive red/green/blue channels independently with current-limiting resistors on each leg.

Compatibility

Works with any microcontroller GPIO/PWM output (ESP32, Arduino, etc.) through appropriate current-limiting resistors — this is a passive component, not a platform-specific module.

What's Included

100x 5mm common-cathode RGB LEDs.

Notes

Common cathode means all three color LEDs inside share one ground leg — confirm your project's wiring/code assumes common cathode (not common anode) before building. Use separate current-limiting resistors on each color leg.
