## Pricing

- **Price:** $18.80 (inc GST) — $17.09 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $16.58 (exc GST) · 50+ $16.24 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 19 and Aug 24.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA1264:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA1264:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

I like big seven-segment displays and I cannot lie! Design a clock, timer or counter into your next project using Adafruit's pretty, candy-bar sized 4-digit seven-segment display. These bright crisp displays are good for adding numeric output. Besides the four 7-segments there is a top right dot (perhaps useful as a degrees symbol) and two sets of colon-dots (good for time-based projects).
 
 These are ultra bright 400mcd per segment! Each segment is made of two LEDs in series for even coloring (check the datasheet for a diagram). You can drive these with less current to get the same brightness to save power, or crank them up to 20mA and have them really bright.
 
 These displays are multiplexed, common-cathode. What that means it that you can use a [74HC595](https://core-electronics.com.au/74hc595-shift-register-3-pack.html) or just 8 microcontroller pins if you can spare them to control the 8 anodes (7-seg + decimal) at about ~15mA each, and then connect [NPN transistors](https://core-electronics.com.au/npn-bipolar-transistors-pn2222-10-pack.html) or a [TPIC6B595](https://core-electronics.com.au/tpic6b595-high-power-shift-register-tpic6b595.html) to the cathodes to sink the 8\*20mA = ~120mA maximum per digit.
 
 These come in a bright red color, [We also have many other sizes and colors!](https://www.adafruit.com/category/37_103)
