LED 4PIN WHITE / WHITE

4-Pin RGB LED Common Cathode Ultra-Bright White Series

These high-performance 4-pin LEDs are engineered for versatile lighting projects, offering a clean, ultra-bright output in a standard 5mm through-hole package. Featuring a clear lens for maximum light transmission, these LEDs are perfect for indicator lights, custom lighting arrays, and DIY electronic prototypes.

Key Performance Features

• 4-Pin Configuration: Designed with a common cathode (or anode) setup, allowing for precise control of different light intensities or color mixing in a single compact housing.

• Ultra-Bright Output: Delivers a crisp, high-lumen white light, making it suitable for both functional indicators and decorative illumination.

• Water-Clear Lens: The transparent epoxy resin mold ensures minimal light diffusion and a focused, intense beam.

• Durable Long-Lead Design: Features high-quality silver-plated leads that provide excellent conductivity and are easy to trim or bend for specialized PCB or breadboard layouts.

• Low Heat Generation: Optimized for energy efficiency, maintaining a cool operating temperature even during continuous use.

Technical Specifications

• Lead Count: 4-Pin.

• Lens Color: Water Clear.

• Emitted Color: Cool White.

• Mounting Style: Through-Hole.

Typical Applications

• Breadboard Prototyping: Fits perfectly into the MB-102 Solderless Breadboard for testing circuit logic.

• Status Indicators: Ideal for project boxes requiring multi-state visual feedback using a single LED hole.

• Custom Backlighting: Used in automotive interior lighting, PC case modding, and model building.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns ‍

 Which pin is the Common pin? Typically, the longest pin on a 4-pin LED is the common terminal (usually the cathode). Always check your specific circuit polarity before applying power.

Do I need a resistor with these? Yes. To prevent burnout, you must use a current-limiting resistor for each of the three active pins. For a standard 5V supply, a 220Ω to 330Ω resistor is generally recommended for white LEDs.

 Can I plug this directly into a breadboard? Absolutely. The 4-pin lead spacing is standard and will fit comfortably into any GL-12 or MB-102 project board.
