Common Anode Red Green Led

Given the forward voltage differences between red and green leds allows for a very simple circuit and using your common anode configuration.

Common anode red green led.

One would think having two pins is a disadvantage. Rgb leds can be used to make many different colors of light which can be used to make things such as color changeable indicators. Powering the led module. Radial 3 leads.

Led green red diffused t 1 t h. Ingan green 525 nm and alingap red 630nm. For the common anode rbg led one pin is power pin 2 and the other 3 pins are the cathodes of the red green and blue led. The bi color led is a handy little component that allows two colors red and green in a single led while only having two pins cathode and anode.

This means that all the anodes of the led are tied together i e. Allows for super bright sunlight visible color mixing of green plus red to produce yellow or amber colors. The rgb led we are using is a common anode led. Similar led s that provide two or even three colors usually have three or four pins allowing for a wide range of mixed colors.

This led has red green and blue led chips inside of it. 50pcs 8mm water clear 4pin rgb red green blue common anode led diodes usa. You can set your led current to any value you want but there will always be a variation between red green current that is unavoidable. Simulate this circuit schematic created using circuitlab.

3mm milky diffused high bright bicolor green and red led design in a t1 common anode configuration. Led green red diffused t h. Green 5 0 cd vf 3 3v and red 3 0cd vf 1 8v. This rgb led has a diffused lens to mix the colors inside of the lens instead of appearing like three separate colors.

The pinout of the common anode rgb led is shown below. The middle pin of the module is the anode for the red led an the right pin of the module is the anode for the green led. The most common bi color combination is red traditional green however other available combinations include amber traditional green red pure green red blue and blue pure green.
