Product details
Overview
TLDR4400 from Vishay Semiconductors is a deep red high-intensity LED using GaAlAs on GaAs double heterojunction technology, housed in a 3 mm tinted diffused (T-1) package with ±40° viewing angle, 648 nm dominant wavelength, and 45 mcd typical luminous intensity at 20 mA - deployed in telecommunication indicators and battery-powered equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TLDR4400 datasheet, TLDR4400 pinout, TLDR4400 application, or TLDR4400 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage (1.8–2.2 V), luminous intensity binning (Group T: 25–50 mcd), thermal resistance (400 K/W), and compatibility with low-current drive (2 mA @ 1 mA) in space-constrained indicator designs.
Technical Context
The TLDR4400 employs a GaAlAs/GaAs double heterojunction structure enabling high radiative efficiency and stable deep red emission at 648 nm dominant wavelength. Its low forward voltage (≤2.2 V at 20 mA) and high luminous intensity (45 mcd typ.) support energy-efficient operation in portable and battery-powered systems.
Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 400 K/W, limiting continuous DC current to 50 mA at ≤60 °C ambient. The device features a wide viewing angle (±40°), spectral line half-width of 20 nm, and junction capacitance of 30 pF - characteristics optimized for visual indication rather than high-speed signaling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 45 mcd typical at 20 mA - sufficient for clear visibility under indoor/bright ambient lighting |
| Dominant wavelength | 648 nm - deep red output compliant with visual signaling standards |
| Forward voltage | 1.8–2.2 V at 20 mA - enables direct interface with 3.3 V or 5 V logic without excessive series resistance |
| Viewing angle | ±40° - provides uniform illumination across wide display areas without secondary optics |
| Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance | 400 K/W - constrains max continuous power dissipation to 100 mW at Tamb ≤ 60 °C |
| Reverse voltage rating | 6 V - defines maximum allowable reverse bias before leakage exceeds 10 μA |
| Spectral line half-width | 20 nm - ensures color purity suitable for coded status indication |
Pinout & Package
TLDR4400 is a two-terminal through-hole LED in a standard 3 mm (T-1) tinted diffused package per drawing 6.544-5264.01-4. Cathode indicated by flat side on lens housing and shorter lead.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Positive terminal | Connects to current-limiting resistor and supply rail; polarity must be observed to avoid damage |
| Cathode | Negative terminal | Identified by flat lens edge and shorter lead; ties to ground or driver sink node |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Deep red emission | 648 nm dominant wavelength ensures high human eye sensitivity and compatibility with red-filtered sensors |
| Low forward voltage | 1.8–2.2 V at 20 mA reduces power loss in battery-operated devices and eases drive circuit design |
| Wide viewing angle | ±40° angular distribution eliminates need for external diffusers in panel-mount indicators |
| Luminous intensity binning | Group T (25–50 mcd) enables consistent brightness matching across production batches |
| High material efficiency | GaAlAs/GaAs DH structure delivers 45 mcd at only 20 mA - extends battery life in portable applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLHR4400 | Same package and optical specs, but high-red (635 nm) instead of deep red (648 nm); 55 mcd typ. at 20 mA | Better perceived brightness in daylight; less optimal for red-filtered sensing | Select TLHR4400 when higher luminous efficacy or daylight visibility is prioritized over spectral match |
| TLDR6400 | Same deep red (648 nm) and package, but higher intensity bin (Group V: 63–125 mcd); VF identical | Requires tighter current control to avoid oversaturation in low-light environments | Select TLDR6400 when greater margin for aging or optical attenuation is needed in long-life installations |
Compared with TLDR4400, TLHR4400 offers higher apparent brightness but shifts hue toward orange-red, while TLDR6400 retains identical spectral and electrical behavior but doubles luminous output - making TLDR4400 the balanced choice for cost-sensitive, general-purpose red indication where moderate intensity suffices.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity range for TLDR4400 at 20 mA drive current?
The TLDR4400 has a minimum luminous intensity of 25 mcd and a typical value of 45 mcd at 20 mA, with no maximum specified. It is binned into Group T (25–50 mcd), ensuring shipped units fall within that range - critical for consistent brightness matching in multi-LED assemblies.
Does TLDR4400 support pulsed operation, and what are the limits?
Yes, TLDR4400 supports pulsed operation with a surge forward current rating of 1 A for pulse widths ≤10 μs. For longer pulses, derating applies: Fig. 2 shows safe operating area up to 100 ms at 100 mA, and duty cycle must be limited to maintain average power ≤100 mW.
What is the correct polarity identification for TLDR4400 leads?
The TLDR4400 cathode is identified by both a flat edge on the lens housing and a shorter lead length. The anode is the longer lead and corresponds to the rounded side of the lens - incorrect polarity will prevent emission and may accelerate degradation under reverse bias beyond 6 V.
Is TLDR4400 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, TLDR4400 complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per Vishay's material categorization standard (document 99912). Full compliance documentation, including substance declarations and test reports, is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics.
What is the maximum ambient temperature for continuous DC operation of TLDR4400?
The TLDR4400 supports continuous DC operation up to +60 °C ambient temperature at its rated 50 mA forward current. Above 60 °C, current must be linearly derated to maintain junction temperature ≤100 °C - for example, to 30 mA at +85 °C ambient.
