Product Overview
Red 8x8 LED dot matrix display module featuring 64 individual 3 mm diffused round dots across a black contrast faceplate. Configured in a row anode, column cathode matrix arrangement for direct multiplexing or driving through serial matrix driver chips. Measures 32 mm square with two rows of 8 through-hole pins on 2.54 mm center spacing for breadboard or prototype PCB installation.
Key Features
- Matrix format: 8x8 grid (64 circular red LED dots)
- Dot diameter: 3 mm diffused white lenses with black face background
- Circuit configuration: Row Anode / Column Cathode
- Nominal dimensions: 32 mm x 32 mm square body
- Terminal layout: 16 straight through-hole pins in dual 8-pin rows
- Pin pitch: Standard 2.54 mm (0.1 in) spacing
- Forward voltage: Nominal 2.1 V per LED element
- Continuous forward current: 20 mA per segment
Applications
- Solders directly onto custom controller boards to display scrolling retro text, custom fonts, or diagnostic status codes.
- Wires into breadboards with row-scanning microcontroller code or dedicated display ICs for benchtop prototyping.
- Builds custom handheld gaming consoles, digital clocks, and compact visual indicators for maker electronics work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this display row anode or row cathode?
This module is configured as row anode with column cathode. Confirm your driver schematic or microcontroller code matches row anode polarity before wiring.
Can this display be driven by a MAX7219 driver IC?
Yes. The MAX7219 supports common cathode or common anode configurations depending on which pins are assigned to segment and digit drive lines in software.
Why buy individual display modules instead of bulk assorted lots?
You receive the exact documented row anode configuration without guessing mystery pinouts from unsorted surplus grabs. Flat-rate shipping is $8, orders over $28 ship free, and orders leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Nothing captures the charm of classic digital projects quite like a glowing red matrix lighting up pixel by pixel on your bench. Wire it up, map your bit patterns, and bring your readout to life.
