10819

Overview

The SparkFun Electronics COM-10819 is a discrete RGB LED component featuring a clear common anode configuration. It integrates red, green, and blue emitters within a single radial package with four leads. The device operates at a forward voltage of 2V for the red channel and 3.2V for both green and blue channels. This component is designed for visual indication applications requiring multi-color output in a compact form factor.

Feature Summary

• Combines red, green, and blue light sources in a single unit
• Utilizes a clear lens for broad light emission
• Features a common anode electrical structure

Applications

• Visual status indication in electronic circuits
• Multi-color signaling modules
• Custom lighting effects in embedded projects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific lead configuration and pinout against the official datasheet before integration. Confirm that the common anode requirement aligns with your circuit design. Ensure the operating voltage limits are respected to prevent damage to the individual color channels during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a unified multi-color source is required instead of separate discrete LEDs. The common anode design simplifies control logic for shared power rails. Consider the radial package dimensions for PCB layout constraints and ensure adequate thermal management for continuous operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to SparkFun's accessories line, providing essential passive components for prototyping. It serves as a building block for developers creating custom indicator systems or decorative lighting solutions without needing multiple separate LED packages.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility based on pinout, voltage ratings, and physical dimensions if sourcing alternatives from other manufacturers.
