Description

Kingbright PSA12-11SRWA red alphanumeric LED display with 16-segment configuration for displaying letters, numbers, and symbols. Large 1.2” character display with common anode configuration and high brightness red LEDs.

Specifications

• Part Number: PSA12-11SRWA
• Character Height: 1.20” (30.48mm)
• Segments: 16-segment alphanumeric
• Emitting Color: Red
• Polarity: Common Anode
• Forward Voltage: 3.6V (typical)
• Test Current: 10mA
• Luminous Intensity: 28mcd (typical)
• Wavelength: 655nm (peak)
• Power Dissipation: 75mW (maximum)
• Package: 18-DIP (0.800”, 20.32mm pitch)
• Dimensions: 1.575” H x 1.083” W x 0.463” D (40.00mm x 27.50mm x 11.75mm)

Features

• Large 1.2” Character: Excellent visibility from distance
• 16-Segment Display: Can display full alphabet, numbers, and symbols
• High Brightness: 28mcd luminous intensity
• Common Anode: Anode shared, cathodes individual
• Standard DIP Package: Easy breadboard and PCB mounting
• Wide Viewing Angle: Good visibility from multiple angles
• Industrial Temperature Range: Reliable operation

Pinout

• Common Anode: Multiple common anode pins
• Segment Pins: Individual pins for each of the 16 segments
• 18-Pin DIP: Standard dual in-line package

Applications

• Large numeric displays
• Status indicators
• Industrial control panels
• Test and measurement equipment
• Digital clocks and timers
• Scoreboards and counters
• Point-of-sale displays
• Instrument panels
• Educational demonstrations
• Prototype displays

Interface Requirements

• Microcontroller: Any MCU with sufficient GPIO pins
• Current Limiting: Resistors required for each segment
• Multiplexing: For multiple displays, consider multiplexing circuit
• Driver ICs: Can use segment driver ICs like MAX7219 for easier control
• Power Supply: 5V typical with current limiting resistors

Notes

• Common anode configuration (anodes shared, cathodes individual)
• Requires current limiting resistors for each segment
• Can display A-Z, 0-9, and many special characters
• Large size makes it ideal for applications requiring high visibility
• 16-segment provides better character representation than 14-segment
• Through-hole mounting for easy prototyping and permanent installation
