16mmx30mm 3 Digit 7 Segment Common Cathode Display

The 16mm x 30mm 3-Digit 7-Segment Common Cathode Display is an electronic display component designed to show numerical digits, commonly used in devices like digital clocks, calculators, and various instrumentation. Here’s a detailed description:

Key Specifications:

Dimensions:

• Height: 30mm
• Width: 16mm
• Display Type: 7-segment, common cathode
• Each of the three digits is made up of seven LED segments arranged in a figure-eight pattern to display numbers 0–9.

Features:

• Number of Digits: 3 digits
• Segment Type: LED (Light Emitting Diode) for each segment of the digits.
• Common Cathode Configuration: All cathodes (negative terminals) of the LEDs in each digit are connected together to a common ground, while each segment's anode (positive terminal) is controlled individually.
• Pin Configuration: Typically, this type of display has pins for each segment (A-G) and decimal point, along with shared cathode pins.

Applications:

• Used in electronic devices for displaying numerical values.
• Common in clocks, timers, temperature displays, counters, and other digital readouts.

Power Requirements:

• Forward voltage per segment: Typically around 2V to 2.5V for red LEDs, varying slightly for other colors like green or blue.
• Current: Each segment typically requires around 10-20 mA for full brightness.

Display Color:

• Red (commonly available) or other colors depending on the type of LED used in the display.
