1.2-Inch 1-Digit 7-Segment Red Common Anode Display

Power:

• Operating Voltage:  5V DC.
• Current Consumption: Around 20mA per segment, with the total current depending on how many segments are lit.

Input and Output:

• Input: Digital signals from a microcontroller or similar device to ground the segments and turn them on.
• Output: Displays numbers or characters by illuminating the segments based on the input signals.

Physical Characteristics:

• Dimensions: Approximately 30mm x 20mm x 10mm (dimensions may vary slightly).
• Weight: Lightweight and compact, ideal for various applications.
• Material: Made of durable plastic with a clear or diffused lens for improved visibility.

Technical Specifications:::

• Forward Voltage:  between 1.8V and 2.2V per segment.
• Maximum Current: Generally 20mA per segment.
• Operating Temperature: Usually -20°C to +70°C.
• Storage Temperature:  -40°C to +85°C.

Additional Features:

• High Visibility: Large digit size makes it easy to read from a distance.
• Energy Efficient: Low power consumption with bright red illumination.
• Simple Wiring: Common anode configuration simplifies wiring by connecting all anodes together and grounding the segments to control them.

How to Use:

1. Connect the Power:

1. • . Attach the common anode pin to the positive voltage supply (VCC).

2. Wire the Segments:

1. • . Connect each segment pin (A-G) to a current-limiting resistor.
   • . Connect the other end of each resistor to ground (GND).

3. Connect Decimal Point (if present):

1. • . If the display includes a decimal point, connect the decimal point pin to a current-limiting resistor and then to ground (GND) if you wish to use it.

4. Control the Display:

1. • . Use a microcontroller or similar device to send digital signals to the segment pins. Apply ground to the segment pins to light up the corresponding segments.

5. Test the Display:

1. • . Verify that each segment lights up correctly and the display shows the intended number or character.

6. Integrate into Your Project:

1. • . Secure the display in your project setup.
   • . Double-check all connections to ensure they are stable and correctly configured.
   • . Test with your control code to ensure the display operates as expected.

The 1.2-inch 1-digit 7-segment red common anode display is ideal for projects needing a large, bright single-digit display. Its straightforward wiring and high visibility make it a versatile component for various applications, from digital clocks to counters.
