Avago HDSP-5501 Common Anode 7 Segment LED Display Red 14.22mm

The Avago HDSP-5501 is a high-efficiency red, common anode, right-hand decimal, seven-segment LED display designed for through-hole mounting. This 14.22mm character display is engineered for high visibility and is suitable for viewing distances of up to 7 metres (23 feet), making it an excellent choice for a wide range of indicator and readout applications.

Featuring high light output and a capacity for high peak current, this display is particularly well-suited for long digit string multiplexing, ensuring consistent and bright illumination across multiple units. The segments are designed with mitered corners and provide even lighting, resulting in a clear, professional-looking numeric character that is easy to read under various conditions.

Key Specifications & Features
