Product details
Overview
TLMB3101-GS08 from Vishay is a blue surface-mount LED using GaN-on-SiC technology in PLCC-2 package, delivering 4.0–12.5 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, with 466 nm dominant wavelength and ±60° viewing angle-used for dashboard backlighting and LCD symbol illumination.
For engineers reviewing the TLMB3101-GS08 datasheet, TLMB3101-GS08 pinout, TLMB3101-GS08 application, or TLMB3101-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage (3.9–4.5 V @ 20 mA), thermal resistance (400 K/W), ESD Class 1 rating, non-diffused lens suitability for light-pipe coupling, and 8 mm tape packaging for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a discrete visible-light emitter optimized for indicator and backlight functions in constrained thermal environments. Its GaN-on-SiC die enables stable blue emission at 466 nm dominant wavelength with narrow spectral peak (428 nm) and consistent angular distribution (±60° half-intensity).
Designed for IR/vapor-phase/wave solder compatibility, TLMB3101-GS08 features white thermoplastic PLCC-2 housing with embedded lead frame, non-diffused lens for directional coupling, and luminous intensity binning (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per unit) to ensure visual uniformity in multi-LED assemblies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 4.0–12.5 mcd @ 10 mA - defines brightness range for consistent visual output across binned units |
| Dominant wavelength | 466 nm - specifies human-perceived blue color point for UI/indicator compliance |
| Forward voltage | 3.9–4.5 V @ 20 mA - determines minimum driver headroom and power dissipation (100 mW max) |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - sets beam spread for targeted backlighting without excessive lateral spill |
| Thermal resistance | 400 K/W - limits junction temperature rise under PCB mounting (pad >16 mm²) |
| ESD rating | Class 1 - requires handling controls during SMT assembly to prevent electrostatic damage |
| Operating temp | −40 to +100 °C - supports automotive cabin and industrial control panel deployment |
Pinout & Package
TLMB3101-GS08 uses a 2-terminal PLCC-2 package (equivalent to size B tantalum capacitor), with anode and cathode leads formed into a gull-wing SMD configuration. The white thermoplastic body houses a GaN-on-SiC die and non-diffused lens.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Positive DC input | Connects to current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver output |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Ground return path | Must be routed to low-impedance ground plane to minimize thermal resistance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| GaN-on-SiC die technology | Enables high-efficiency blue emission with stable chromaticity over temperature and lifetime |
| Non-diffused lens | Maximizes light coupling efficiency into light pipes and edge-lit LCD guides |
| Luminous intensity binning | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per tape unit ensures uniform appearance in multi-LED arrays |
| Lead-free construction | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar blue LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kingbright APT1608SGEEV | 0805 package (2.0 × 1.25 mm), 5.0–12.0 mcd, 470 nm dominant wavelength, 120° viewing angle | Broad-beam illumination; less directional than TLMB3101-GS08's ±60° pattern | Select when wider viewing angle and smaller footprint are prioritized over light-pipe coupling efficiency |
| Lumex SSL-LX3053ID | PLCC-2 package, 4.5–13.0 mcd, 465 nm dominant wavelength, ±50° viewing angle, higher VF (4.0–4.6 V) | Slightly narrower beam and marginally higher forward voltage tolerance required | Choose for tighter angular control where reduced side scatter improves symbol definition |
Compared with APT1608SGEEV and SSL-LX3053ID, TLMB3101-GS08 offers superior luminous intensity consistency (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6), lower thermal resistance (400 K/W), and proven compatibility with automotive-grade reflow processes-making it preferred for high-reliability indicator systems requiring visual uniformity and thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for TLMB3101-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for TLMB3101-GS08 is 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤60 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated lumen depreciation and junction overheating beyond the 100 °C limit. Derating is required above 60 °C per Figure 2 in the datasheet, and TLMB3101-GS08 must be mounted on a PCB pad >16 mm² to maintain thermal resistance at 400 K/W.
Does TLMB3101-GS08 have a diffused or non-diffused lens?
TLMB3101-GS08 features a non-diffused lens, explicitly stated in its datasheet as "excellent for coupling to light pipes and backlighting." This design enables high-directional light output with ±60° half-intensity angle, making it ideal for edge-lit applications where minimal lateral dispersion is required-unlike diffused LEDs intended for wide-angle viewing.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in TLMB3101-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix in TLMB3101-GS08 denotes tape-and-reel packaging in 8 mm carrier tape, standard for automated SMT placement. This matches Vishay's documented availability in "8 mm tape" and confirms compatibility with pick-and-place equipment using EIA-481-D compliant feeders-distinct from bulk or ammo-pack variants.
Is TLMB3101-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, TLMB3101-GS08 is qualified for automotive use, with operating temperature range −40 to +100 °C and explicit listing under "Automotive: Backlighting in dashboards and switches" in its official applications. Its GaN-on-SiC construction, lead-free finish, and CECC-compliant solder process compatibility meet baseline requirements for non-safety-critical interior lighting.
What is the ESD sensitivity classification for TLMB3101-GS08?
TLMB3101-GS08 is rated ESD Class 1 per ANSI/ESDA STM5.1, meaning it withstands ≥250 V human-body-model (HBM) discharge. This requires strict handling protocols-including grounded workstations, ionized air, and static-dissipative packaging-during PCB assembly to prevent latent damage that could degrade luminous output or forward voltage characteristics.
