You want to mix your own colours for a display, indicator, or small build. This common-cathode RGB gives you independent control of red (625nm), green (520nm) and blue (470nm) from one 5mm package. Drive each anode at different levels and you get virtually any shade in between. Diffused lens softens the beam to a 45° viewing angle so it reads clearly from the side, not just head-on. Typical forward current is 20mA; don't push past 30mA continuous. Red runs at 2.0V forward, green and blue at 3.5V
