Multi-Colored LEDs


Added a page listing Multi-colored LED manufacturers, listed off the main LED products page. Multi-colored LEDs are produced in either through-hole or surface-mount styles [more common].

Bi-color LEDs are more common than Tri-color LEDs, with surface mount being the common configuration. You may also see Tri-colored LEDs referred to as RGB LEDs [Red, Green, Blue].

Unlike a standard dual lead LED, multi-colored LEDs are three and four leaded devices. One lead being the common cathode or common anode, and the remaining three leads the anode or cathode [for common cathode devices].

12/12/08 A year later and I just noticed that the page on Manufacturers of Multi-colored LEDs has no page rank, and I'm not sure why. The page is completely different than the main LED manufacturers page.

Any way I added a link to the Multi-colored LED page from the 'Definition of LED terms', so now it has another page pointing to it.
