7-segment display 0.36 inches - 4 digits with colon, various colors

Product Overview

• Seven-segment display module with integrated colon
• available in multiple sizes
• designed for control via microcontrollers
• interface standard for direct connection to common development boards
• LED-based illumination with high brightness

Product Description

The seven-segment display with colon shows numbers and simple characters and can be controlled directly from microcontroller boards. The LED segments can be switched individually or in groups to display various digits and symbols. The integrated colon enables the display of time values or decimal values without additional elements.

Control is carried out via digital outputs or a serial interface protocol, depending on the version and wiring. This makes the module compatible with various controller platforms and saves connections on the microcontroller when using serial control. The high brightness makes the display easy to read even in ambient light.

Applications include digital measuring instruments, countdown timers, temperature displays, or status indicators in automation projects. The module is also suitable for LED-based clocks or digital displays in model-making and prototypes, without requiring graphical LCD control. It also supports real-time display of measured values in data logger projects.

Operation requires a regulated power supply at the controller's voltage level. Parallel control requires several connection wires, while a serial protocol reduces the wiring effort. For dimming, PWM-capable outputs of the controller are typically used.

Safety Information

The module is intended exclusively for building prototypes and for testing and development purposes and is not designed for operation on household electrical circuits. Work on or in the immediate vicinity of household installations is reserved for qualified electricians. If you are unsure about integrating the module into existing systems, consult a qualified electrician before commissioning.
