Water clear 4 pin 5mm RGB LED - common cathode

These LEDs contain three separate LED 10 mil (fairly large for 20mA LEDs) chips, red, green and blue. By driving the three chips separately, you can produce any colour that you wish, including white light.

They are packaged in the standard 5mm water clear LED package but have 4 leads, not 2, with a 1.25mm pin spacing (there is one common cathode lead and three separate anode leads - one for each colour).

Specs are: Red: 4000-5000mcd; Green: 14,000-16,000mcd; Blue: 6000-8000mcd. Continuous current per LED chip is 20mA (60mA for total package).
