Product details
Overview
TLDR5800 from Vishay Semiconductors is a high-intensity deep red LED using GaAlAs-on-GaAs double heterojunction technology, housed in a clear 5 mm T-1¾ package with ±4° viewing angle, delivering 2500 mcd typical luminous intensity at 20 mA and 1.8–2.2 V forward voltage for indicator and display applications.
For engineers reviewing the TLDR5800 datasheet, TLDR5800 pinout, TLDR5800 application, or TLDR5800 equivalent, key selection considerations include its narrow-beam optical performance, low forward voltage, high intensity at low drive current, and compatibility with battery-powered and outdoor-indicator designs requiring stable visible-red output.
Technical Context
The TLDR5800 employs GaAlAs-on-GaAs double heterojunction (DH) technology to achieve high radiative efficiency and deep red emission at 648 nm dominant wavelength. Its parabolic lens geometry enables ±4° half-intensity angle and >2000 mcd output even at IF = 20 mA.
Rated for DC or pulsed operation up to 50 mA continuous forward current and 1 A surge, it features 350 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and operates across –40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature range, supporting robust use in industrial and outdoor environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 2500 mcd typical at 20 mA - delivers high-visibility red indication under bright ambient light |
| Dominant wavelength | 648 nm - deep red spectral output optimized for human eye sensitivity and color-critical indicators |
| Viewing angle | ±4° - narrow beam enables focused illumination and reduced optical crosstalk in dense arrays |
| Forward voltage | 1.8–2.2 V at 20 mA - low power consumption compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-supplied driver circuits |
| Reverse voltage | 6 V maximum - defines safe reverse-bias margin for multiplexed or AC-driven display configurations |
| Junction capacitance | 50 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - supports fast switching in pulse-width-modulated brightness control |
| Thermal resistance | 350 K/W - limits self-heating during sustained operation; requires minimal heatsinking in PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5 mm T-1¾ clear epoxy package with parabolic lens; cathode indicated by flat side and shorter lead (TLDR5800-AS12Z variant: cathode leads first in tape).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive terminal | Connects to current source or driver high-side; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse breakdown |
| Cathode (K) | Negative terminal | Connects to ground or driver low-side; flat edge on package identifies this lead on TLDR5800-AS12Z |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar red LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kingbright APL501SURK | 635 nm dominant wavelength, ±15° viewing angle, 1200 mcd typical at 20 mA | Broad-beam general-purpose indicator; lower intensity and wider dispersion than TLDR5800 | Select when wider viewing angle and lower cost are prioritized over long-distance visibility |
| ROHM SML-010PTT86R | 624 nm dominant wavelength, ±8° viewing angle, 1800 mcd typical at 20 mA, 0805 surface-mount | Compact SMD form factor; lower intensity and broader beam than TLDR5800's through-hole 5 mm package | Select when board space is constrained and automated assembly is required, accepting reduced beam focus |
Compared with APL501SURK and SML-010PTT86R, the TLDR5800 provides uniquely narrow ±4° beam control and highest intensity (2500 mcd), making it optimal for long-range, high-contrast red indication where optical precision matters more than footprint or cost.

FAQ
What is the dominant wavelength of the TLDR5800?
The TLDR5800 has a dominant wavelength of 648 nm, measured at 20 mA forward current. This places its output in the deep red portion of the visible spectrum, providing high contrast against ambient light and compatibility with red-filtered optical sensors. The 648 nm value is specified in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 83004, Rev. 1.9, and is consistent across all TLDR5800-AS12Z units shipped in standard luminous intensity bins.
Can the TLDR5800 be driven with pulsed current?
Yes, the TLDR5800 supports pulsed operation with peak forward current up to 1 A for pulse widths ≤10 μs, as defined in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Pulse driving enables higher instantaneous brightness without exceeding average power dissipation limits. For reliable performance, duty cycle must be controlled to maintain average forward current ≤50 mA and junction temperature ≤100 °C - both verified in the TLDR5800 datasheet's Fig. 2 and thermal specifications.
What does the "AS12Z" suffix mean in TLDR5800-AS12Z?
The "AS12Z" suffix denotes the tape-and-reel packaging configuration: "AS" indicates ammopack tape, "12" specifies cathode-leading orientation (cathode exits reel first), and "Z" confirms compliance with Vishay's updated nomenclature for existing part numbers. This variant is fully compatible with standard 5 mm LED pick-and-place feeders and matches the electrical and optical specs of the base TLDR5800 device per Vishay Document 83004.
Is the TLDR5800 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the TLDR5800 meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. Vishay confirms compliance in its material categorization documentation (www.vishay.com/doc?99912), and the TLDR5800 is listed in the company's official RoHS-compliant product database. No lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE substances exceed allowable thresholds, and full substance declarations are available upon request for TLDR5800 production lots.
How is luminous intensity binned for the TLDR5800?
The TLDR5800 is categorized into luminous intensity groups (e.g., EE, FF, GG) based on minimum and maximum mcd values measured at 20 mA - for example, FF group spans 1350–2700 mcd. Each bag contains only one intensity group; mixing groups is prohibited to ensure consistency. The TLDR5800-AS12Z variant ships in FF or GG bins depending on order specification, and bin data is traceable via lot code per Vishay's quality documentation in Document 83004.
