Product details
Overview
TLLY4400 from Vishay Semiconductors is a low-current yellow LED in a 3 mm tinted diffused package, specified at 2 mA forward current, with dominant wavelength 581–594 nm, forward voltage 2.4–2.9 V, and luminous intensity 0.63–1.2 mcd. It serves as an indicator in space-constrained, low-power DC circuits requiring stable visual status feedback under ambient lighting.
For engineers reviewing the TLLY4400 datasheet, TLLY4400 pinout, TLLY4400 application, or TLLY4400 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical, electrical, and packaging data - including absolute maximum ratings, luminous intensity binning, thermal resistance (800 K/W), and compatibility with CMOS/MOS logic-level drive - to support reliable indicator selection in battery-powered and industrial control designs.
Technical Context
The TLLY4400 uses GaAsP-on-GaP semiconductor technology optimized for visible yellow emission, with ±25° viewing angle and tested at 25 ms pulse width for luminous intensity and wavelength measurements. Its low 2 mA test current enables direct interface with microcontroller GPIOs without external current-limiting resistors in many cases.
Rated for operation from –40 °C to +100 °C ambient, the device features 6 V reverse voltage tolerance, 7 mA DC forward current limit, and 20 mW power dissipation at ≤84 °C ambient - making it suitable for sealed enclosures and thermally unmanaged environments where self-heating must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 0.63–1.2 mcd at 2 mA - sufficient for clear visibility in indoor/low-ambient-light panels without excessive power draw |
| Dominant wavelength | 581–594 nm - standardized yellow output compliant with IEC 60068-2-17 color classification group "0" through "6" |
| Forward voltage | 2.4–2.9 V at 2 mA - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic rails using minimal series resistance (e.g., ~330 Ω from 5 V) |
| Viewing angle | ±25° half-intensity - provides focused yet readable indication within narrow panel apertures |
| Thermal resistance | 800 K/W junction-to-ambient - requires no heatsinking but limits continuous duty cycle above 2 mA in enclosed spaces |
| Absolute max forward current | 7 mA DC - defines safe operating ceiling for pulsed or intermittent use beyond nominal 2 mA rating |
| Reverse voltage | 6 V - protects against accidental reverse polarity in manual wiring or shared PCB traces |
Pinout & Package
Package: Ø3 mm radial-leaded, tinted diffused epoxy lens with cathode-indicating flat side and standard 2.54 mm lead pitch. Leads are tin-plated copper, RoHS-compliant, and rated for 260 °C soldering (5 s, 2 mm from body).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (longer lead) | Positive terminal | Connects to supply rail or active-high driver; forward bias initiates photon emission |
| Cathode (shorter lead / flat side) | Negative terminal | Reference node for current return; polarity-sensitive - reverse connection blocks conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low power consumption | Operates at 2 mA nominal - draws <6 µW at 3 V, enabling multi-LED arrays on coin-cell or energy-harvesting supplies |
| CMOS/MOS compatible | Forward voltage range (2.4–2.9 V) aligns with standard logic high thresholds - eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry |
| Luminous intensity binning | IVmin/IVmax ≤ 0.5 per packing unit - ensures consistent brightness across LEDs in same batch for uniform panel appearance |
| Wide temperature operation | –40 °C to +100 °C ambient range - supports deployment in automotive dashboards, industrial HMI, and outdoor enclosures |
| Standardized wavelength grouping | Yellow dominant wavelength binned into 3 nm groups (e.g., 581–584 nm, 583–586 nm) - enables precise color matching across production lots |
Applications
| Industrial Control Panel Indicator | Portable Medical Device Status Light |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLLY4401 | Luminous intensity 1–2 mcd (vs. 0.63–1.2 mcd); otherwise identical optical/electrical specs and package | Better suited for higher-ambient-light environments (e.g., kiosk front panels) where increased brightness improves readability | Select TLLY4401 when >1 mcd minimum output is required; TLLY4400 preferred for ultra-low-power or dimmed UI contexts |
| TLLE4400 | Vishay's newer 3 mm yellow LED with same 581–594 nm λd, but improved 1.5–3.0 mcd output and 500 K/W RthJA | Enables higher drive currents (up to 10 mA) and better thermal margin in compact assemblies | Choose TLLE4400 for new designs needing higher brightness or extended thermal headroom; TLLY4400 remains valid for legacy replacements |
Compared with TLLY4400, TLLY4401 offers higher minimum luminous intensity without changing drive requirements, while TLLE4400 provides both higher output and lower thermal resistance - making it more robust for sustained operation but requiring design review for forward voltage and footprint compatibility.

FAQ
What is the recommended forward current for continuous operation of the TLLY4400?
The TLLY4400 is specified and characterized at 2 mA forward current, which is its nominal operating point for luminous intensity and forward voltage ratings. While its absolute maximum DC forward current is 7 mA, continuous operation above 2 mA increases self-heating and reduces lifetime - especially given its 800 K/W thermal resistance. For reliable long-term use, maintain ≤2 mA unless transient pulses are used with appropriate duty cycling. The TLLY4400 datasheet confirms all key parameters are guaranteed at IF = 2 mA.
Does the TLLY4400 have a built-in current-limiting resistor?
No, the TLLY4400 is a bare LED die in a 3 mm package with no integrated current-limiting resistor. It requires an external series resistor or constant-current driver to regulate forward current. At 5 V supply, a 1.2 kΩ resistor sets IF ≈ 2 mA (using typical VF = 2.6 V); at 3.3 V, a 330 Ω resistor achieves the same. This discrete configuration preserves flexibility in brightness tuning and thermal management - a design choice confirmed in the Vishay TLLY4400 datasheet section "Optical and Electrical Characteristics."
Is the TLLY4400 suitable for outdoor applications?
The TLLY4400 is rated for operation from –40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature and features a tinted diffused epoxy lens that resists UV-induced yellowing per Vishay's material categorization guidelines. However, its luminous intensity (0.63–1.2 mcd) is optimized for indoor or shaded environments - not direct sunlight. For outdoor signage or daylight-visible indicators, higher-intensity alternatives like TLLE4400 or surface-mount high-brightness LEDs are recommended. The TLLY4400 datasheet explicitly positions it for "low power DC circuits," not solar-exposed deployments.
How does the luminous intensity binning work for the TLLY4400?
The TLLY4400 is shipped in brightness-binned lots where IVmin/IVmax ≤ 0.5 within each packing unit - meaning the dimmest and brightest units in a reel differ by no more than 2× in luminous intensity. This ensures uniform appearance across multi-LED panels. Vishay assigns standard bin codes (K = 0.63–1.25 mcd, L = 1–2 mcd) per the "Luminous Intensity Classification" table. The TLLY4400 corresponds to bin K; its datasheet specifies min 0.63 mcd and typ 1.2 mcd at 2 mA - values validated per IEC 60068-2-17 testing protocols.
Can the TLLY4400 be reflow soldered?
No, the TLLY4400 is a through-hole radial-leaded LED intended for wave soldering or hand soldering only. Its package is not rated for reflow profiles: the maximum soldering temperature is 260 °C for 5 seconds at 2 mm from the body, per the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" table. Reflow exposes the entire epoxy body to sustained high temperatures (>200 °C for >60 s), risking lens discoloration, internal delamination, or bond wire failure. The Vishay TLLY4400 datasheet explicitly references tape-and-reel handling (AS12/MS12) and wave-solder-compatible dimensions - confirming its through-hole process alignment.
