11449

Overview

The SparkFun Electronics COM-11449 is a discrete RGB LED component designed for visual indication. It features a radial package configuration suitable through-hole mounting. The device integrates red, green, and blue emitters within a single unit to produce mixed colors. It operates with a forward voltage of 4.5V. This component allows for multi-color signaling in electronic projects without requiring separate individual LEDs.

Feature Summary

• Integrates red, green, and blue emitters into a single discrete unit
• Radial package design facilitates through-hole installation
• Enables mixed color output from one component

Applications

• Visual status indication in microcontroller projects
• Multi-color signaling in IoT devices
• Prototype development boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official SparkFun documentation to ensure accuracy. Confirm that the radial package and 4.5V forward voltage requirements align with your circuit design before procurement. Check current availability status directly with authorized distributors as stock levels fluctuate.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints prevent using three separate monochromatic LEDs but multi-color output is required. Ensure the driving circuit can handle the 4.5V forward voltage drop. Verify that the radial lead spacing matches the PCB footprint design for reliable soldering.

Part Context

This component belongs to SparkFun's discrete optoelectronics line, which provides essential passive and active components for hobbyist and professional electronics prototyping. It serves as a building block for creating complex visual interfaces in embedded systems and educational kits.
