New Product - Side-emitting 4020 RGB LEDs - Common Anode

Meet the side-emitting 4020 RGB LED with a common-anode configuration, now available from PMD Way. Its side-emitting format offers another option when planning how light should appear in a compact electronics project, custom board, or prototype.

RGB lighting in a side-emitting package

This LED combines red, green, and blue light in a 4020 package. The side-emitting design directs light from the side of the component, which can suit layouts where light needs to shine outward from a board edge or into a nearby feature.

What common anode means

In a common-anode RGB LED, the anodes for the red, green, and blue elements share a connection. Each color channel is controlled through its corresponding cathode. Check the product information and component pinout before designing your circuit, and use suitable current-limiting components for your application.

For makers and prototypes

Whether you are experimenting with RGB indicators or developing a new board layout, this side-emitting 4020 RGB LED provides a compact component to consider. Review the product listing for available specifications and connection details before adding it to your design.
