DescriptionA 7-segment LED Display looks like the number “8” and has 8 parts that can light up to show numbers or characters. There’s also an extra part for a decimal point. You can make these parts light up by connecting them to your circuit using separate pins.There are two types of wiring: common anode and common cathode. In a common anode, you connect all the positive pins together, and in a common cathode, you connect all the negative pins together.Here’s a picture of how the pins are usually set up to help you see which pin connects to which part of the display. This way, you can make the right parts light up when you want them to.FEATURESAvailable in two modes Common Cathode (CC) and Common Anode (CA)Available in many different sizes like 9.14mm,14.20mm,20.40mm,38.10mm,57.0mm, and 100mm (Commonly used/available size is 14.20mm)Available colors: White, Blue, Red, Yellow, and Green (Res is commonly used)Low current operationBetter, brighter and larger display than conventional LCD displays.Current consumption: 30mA / segmentPeak current: 70mADIMENSION APPLICATIONSUsed in applications where font size is required to be biggerMicrocontroller Independent, hence used in small circuit projectsUsed in combination with four segments to display measurement/sensor value with four charactersHas bright illumination, hence used where displays are required to work in low light or dark conditionsSPECIFICATIONLED color: RedForward voltage: 1.8VLED luminosity: 20000 UCD @ IF = 10mAForward current per segment, IF: 30mA max.Peak current per segment: 70mAOperating temperature: -25 to 85 deg CReverse voltage: 3V max.DOCUMENTTutorialsDatasheetSHIPPING LIST1 x 7 Segment Display – LED
