This LED has red, green, and blue LED chips inside of it.
RGB LEDs can be used to make many different colors of light, which can be used to make things such as color-changeable indicators.
This RGB LED has options for a clear lens or a diffused lens. A diffused lens is better for direct viewing where a clear lens is better for indirect viewing
There are also options for common anode and common cathode. Refer to the pinout diagrams for hookup instructions.
The diffused common anode LED (p/n AC312-RGB-D-CA-5) is the same as found in the LED AddiKit.
