Features

  • 0.54” Digit Height: Standard size for good visibility
  • Low Current Operation: Efficient power consumption
  • Excellent Character Appearance: Clear, crisp character display
  • Available in CA and CC: Common anode and cathode versions
  • RoHS Compliant: Environmental compliance
  • Standard Red Color: Classic 624nm wavelength

Pinout

  • Common Cathode: Single common cathode pin
  • Segment Pins: Individual pins for each of the 14 segments
  • Decimal Point: Separate pin for decimal point control

Applications

  • Home appliances
  • Instrument panels
  • Digital readout displays
