Product details
Overview
TLCPG5100 from Vishay Semiconductors is a pure green ultrabright LED in a 5 mm untinted non-diffused package, delivering 430–1250 mcd luminous intensity at 50 mA, with dominant wavelength 555–567 nm, forward voltage 2.1–2.7 V, and ±9° viewing angle - optimized for high-visibility indicator and signal applications including traffic signals and CHMSL.
For engineers reviewing the TLCPG5100 datasheet, TLCPG5100 pinout, TLCPG5100 application, or TLCPG5100 equivalent, this discrete LED supports stable optical performance across -40 °C to +100 °C ambient, features AlInGaP-on-GaAs technology, meets 2 kV ESD withstand (JESD22-A114-B), and is binned for luminous intensity and wavelength consistency per packing unit.
Technical Context
The TLCPG5100 uses AlInGaP-on-GaAs semiconductor technology to achieve high-efficiency pure green emission with narrow spectral bandwidth (20 nm at 50% Irel max) and low temperature coefficient of dominant wavelength (0.1 nm/K). Its untinted lens and ±9° half-intensity angle enable focused beam control without diffusion loss.
Rated for DC forward current up to 50 mA (Tamb ≤ 85 °C) and junction temperature up to 125 °C, the device exhibits thermal stability with forward voltage temperature coefficient of -3.5 mV/K and maintains luminous intensity classification within defined bins (e.g., BB to UU groups) per packaging unit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 430–1250 mcd at 50 mA - enables high-visibility signaling under ambient lighting without excessive drive current |

| Junction temperature | Up to 125 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive and outdoor industrial enclosures |
| ESD withstand | 2 kV HBM (JESD22-A114-B) - reduces risk of handling damage during PCB assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar pure green LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay TLCPG5200 | Same 5 mm package and AlInGaP technology, but rated for 100 mA continuous current and higher luminous intensity (1100–3000 mcd). | Designed for higher-brightness signage and backlighting where thermal management allows increased drive. | Select TLCPG5200 only if board layout accommodates higher power dissipation (265 mW vs. 135 mW) and driver supports 100 mA. |
| Lumex SSL-LX5093GD | 5 mm T-1¾ package, pure green (565–575 nm), 1200–2400 mcd at 20 mA, lower forward voltage (1.9–2.5 V), no intensity binning per bag. | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer electronics with less stringent brightness uniformity requirements. | Choose SSL-LX5093GD when luminous intensity variation across units is acceptable and drive current is limited to ≤20 mA. |
Compared with TLCPG5100, TLCPG5200 offers higher output and current capability at the expense of thermal load, while SSL-LX5093GD trades binning precision and temperature stability for lower drive voltage and cost - making TLCPG5100 optimal for regulated signaling where consistency and thermal resilience are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for TLCPG5100?
The TLCPG5100 is rated for 50 mA DC forward current when ambient temperature is ≤85 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated lumen depreciation and junction overheating beyond the 125 °C limit. Derating is required above 85 °C per the datasheet's Fig. 1 curve, and surge current (1 A) is limited to pulses ≤10 μs.
Does TLCPG5100 require external current limiting?
Yes, TLCPG5100 requires an external current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver. Its forward voltage varies from 2.1 V to 2.7 V at 50 mA, and without regulation, supply voltage fluctuations would cause significant luminous intensity and thermal variation - potentially exceeding absolute maximum ratings.
How is luminous intensity binned for TLCPG5100?
TLCPG5100 is binned into intensity groups (e.g., BB = 430–860 mcd, CC = 575–1150 mcd) per packing unit, with IVmax/IVmin ≤ 2.0 within each bag. This ensures predictable brightness matching across LEDs used in the same display or panel, eliminating post-assembly sorting.
Can TLCPG5100 be used in reverse-biased configuration?
No - TLCPG5100 is not designed for reverse conduction. Its absolute maximum reverse voltage is only 5 V, and sustained reverse bias risks permanent degradation. The datasheet notes reverse driving is suitable only for short-term applications, implying transient or test-only use, not functional operation.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for TLCPG5100?
The thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RthJA) for TLCPG5100 is 300 K/W under standard free-air conditions. This value assumes no PCB copper pour or heatsinking; actual thermal performance improves with thermal vias and pad area - critical for maintaining <125 °C junction temperature at full 50 mA drive.
