7-Segment Display Single Digit 0.56in Common Cathode (5161AS, Red)

The 7-Segment Display Single Digit 0.56in Common Cathode (5161AS, Red) is a classic red LED numeric display used to show digits 0-9 and a decimal point in clocks, counters, and meters. Its common-cathode 5161AS design makes it easy to drive directly from a microcontroller or a driver IC such as the 74HC595 or MAX7219.

Key features:

• Common Cathode Wiring: All eight segment cathodes share a single ground pin, simplifying multiplexing and driver circuits.
• 0.56 Inch Digit Height: Large, easy-to-read red digits suitable for panel meters, clocks, and counters.
• 10-Pin DIP Package: Standard through-hole pinout drops directly into a breadboard or prototyping PCB.
• Decimal Point Included: Built-in right-hand decimal point segment supports fractional and multi-digit readouts.
• Low Forward Voltage: Efficient red LED segments run reliably from 5V logic with current-limiting resistors.
