Diffused 5mm tri-colour LEDs with separate red, green, and blue chips inside a square "Piranha" (super-flux) package. With a 90° viewing angle and up to 3000mcd combined brightness, these LEDs are great for colour mixing, indicators, and illumination projects. They plug into a breadboard diagonally.

These are common-anode (CA) type — connect the anode pin to your supply voltage and drive the red, green, and blue cathodes to ground through current-limiting resistors. CA LEDs are compatible with multi-LED driver chips such as the TLC5940/TLC5941.
