Digital Display Compatibility

Post by Shadow »

Hey guys, I got a question about the LED digital displays.

Is there a way to know what part number I should look for in a display? There is a huge electronic parts distributor by my place and they have everything, unfortunately I don't know what I need...

I need a display for several radios... all cobras. If anyone can tell me how i can go about finding this info, it will make me a very happy man. I recently found out the hard way that not all 25s have the same pin outs.

On one side of the LED display, you will find a number like LA4022-11, different
Manufacturer have different codes like BD???? LA???? MSD???? UR???? and so on.

You will also need to know if the display is common Cathode or Anode.

The datasheet link below may help.
