7 Segment Display - Red 5.9inch Common Cathode

If you're looking for digital indicators and numeric displays for your project, these 7 segment displays will be able to get the job done. This is the biggest 7 Segment display we stock.

To use this display, you will need a 12V supply and current limiting resistors on each segment (1k resistors should be sufficient). Your power supply should be rated for a minimum of 160mA for each digit in your overall display.
