Overview
SparkFun COM-10820 is a breakout board featuring a 5mm RGB LED with a clear lens and common anode configuration. The component provides four distinct pins, one for each color channel (Red, Green, Blue) and a shared anode connection. This design facilitates direct interfacing with microcontrollers for color mixing applications. The board serves as a simple accessory for embedding visual feedback into electronic projects.
Feature Summary
- Provides individual control over Red, Green, and Blue light emission channels
- Utilizes a common anode electrical architecture for simplified circuit integration
- Features a 5mm package size suitable for standard prototyping breadboards
Applications
- Microcontroller-based status indication systems
- Custom lighting effects in embedded electronics projects
- Visual output modules for interactive hardware prototypes
Procurement Notes
Verify the specific pinout configuration against official SparkFun documentation before integration. Ensure the common anode requirement aligns with your power supply and driver circuitry. Confirm that the 5mm form factor fits within your mechanical constraints. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number to avoid confusion with similar RGB components.
Selection Notes
Choose this component when independent color control is required using a common anode topology. It is suitable for projects needing compact, bright RGB indicators. Consider current limiting resistors for each color channel to protect the LED and drive circuitry. Evaluate voltage compatibility between the microcontroller logic levels and the LED forward voltage requirements.
Part Context
The COM-10820 belongs to SparkFun's line of breakout boards and accessories designed to simplify the use of discrete components. It transforms a standard surface-mount or through-hole LED into a ready-to-use module. This product supports rapid prototyping by providing accessible connections for all LED terminals without requiring complex wiring.
FAQ
What is the electrical configuration of the COM-10820 LED?
The LED uses a common anode configuration, meaning the positive terminal is shared across all three color channels.
How many pins does the COM-10820 breakout board have?
The board features four pins: one for the common anode and one each for the Red, Green, and Blue cathodes.
