5mm RGB LED Common Cathode (3 pcs)

The RGB LED 5mm Common Cathode is a multi-color light-emitting diode designed for visual indication and color-mixing applications. It integrates red, green, and blue LEDs into a single 4-pin package with a shared cathode for simplified control. Built for consistent brightness and stable operation, it supports PWM control for generating a wide range of colors. Suitable for embedded systems, prototyping, and educational electronics projects.
