These clear 5 mm Piranha (super-flux) LEDs contain separate red, green, and blue chips in a single square package, allowing full RGB colour mixing. With an 80° viewing angle and a combined brightness of up to 2000 mcd, they work well as indicators, illuminators, or colour-swirl effects. The square footprint plugs into a breadboard diagonally for easy prototyping.

These are common-anode type — connect the anode pin to your supply voltage and drive each colour channel to ground through a current-limiting resistor. Common-anode is compatible with popular multi-LED driver ICs such as the TLC5940/TLC5941.
