Product details
Overview
TLMB3106-GS08 from Vishay is a blue surface-mount LED using GaN-on-SiC technology in PLCC-2 package, delivering 5.0–20.0 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, 466 nm dominant wavelength, ±60° viewing angle, and 3.9–4.5 V forward voltage. It serves as a high-efficiency backlight and indicator in automotive dashboards, telecom devices, and LCD panels.
For engineers reviewing the TLMB3106-GS08 datasheet, TLMB3106-GS08 pinout, TLMB3106-GS08 application, or TLMB3106-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6), ESD Class 1 rating, IR/vapor-phase/wave solder compatibility, and non-diffused lens for light-pipe coupling.
Technical Context
This device implements a GaN-on-SiC heterostructure emitting blue light with peak wavelength at 428 nm and dominant wavelength at 466 nm. Its PLCC-2 package features a white thermoplastic body over a lead frame, optimized for thermal resistance of 400 K/W when mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB pads.
The TLMB3106-GS08 operates across –40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature, supports 20 mA DC forward current and 100 mW power dissipation at ≤60 °C, and maintains luminous output stability up to 100 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 5.0–20.0 mcd at IF = 10 mA; enables uniform backlight brightness within tight binning (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6) |
| Dominant wavelength | 466 nm; defines perceived blue color for human vision in indicator and display applications |
| Forward voltage | 3.9–4.5 V at IF = 20 mA; determines minimum supply headroom and series resistor sizing |
| Viewing angle | ±60°; provides wide, symmetric light distribution suitable for flat backlighting and symbol illumination |
| Thermal resistance | 400 K/W (junction-to-ambient); requires ≥16 mm² copper pad for safe 20 mA continuous operation |
| ESD rating | Class 1 per ANSI/ESDA-JEDEC JS-001; mandates handling precautions during assembly |
| Max reverse voltage | 5 V; limits allowable reverse bias in multiplexed or AC-driven configurations |
Pinout & Package
TLMB3106-GS08 uses the PLCC-2 surface-mount package (equivalent in footprint to size B tantalum capacitor), with two terminals: anode and cathode. The package measures 3.5 mm × 2.8 mm × 1.65 mm (L × W × H) and features a non-diffused lens for directional light output.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Positive LED terminal | Connected to current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver output; polarity-sensitive for forward conduction |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Ground/negative LED terminal | Typically tied to system ground or low-side switch; identifies cathode via notch or marking on package edge |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| GaN-on-SiC emitter | Enables high-efficiency blue emission with superior thermal stability vs. AlInGaP or InGaN-on-sapphire |
| Non-diffused lens | Preserves beam collimation for efficient coupling into light pipes and edge-lit LCD backlights |
| Luminous intensity binning | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within same tape unit ensures consistent visual appearance in multi-LED arrays |
| Lead-free construction | Meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and eliminates Pb contamination risk in reflow and repair processes |
| Solder process compatibility | Rated for IR, vapor phase, and wave soldering per CECC standards-no special profile needed |
Applications

Use Value: PLCC-2 footprint (3.5 mm × 2.8 mm) allows dense placement; ESD Class 1 rating reduces field failure risk during handling and end-user operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar blue LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLMB3104-GS08 | Luminous intensity range 5.0–12.5 mcd (lower max than TLMB3106-GS08's 20.0 mcd) | Better suited for low-power or battery-operated indicators where lower brightness suffices | Select TLMB3104-GS08 when design targets lower power consumption or reduced optical output without changing layout |
| TLMB3101-GS08 | Luminous intensity range 4.0–12.5 mcd; starts at lower minimum (4.0 vs. 5.0 mcd) | Offers broader low-end intensity coverage for cost-sensitive general-purpose indicators | Choose TLMB3101-GS08 for applications requiring wider binning tolerance and lower minimum brightness threshold |
Compared with TLMB3104-GS08 and TLMB3101-GS08, the TLMB3106-GS08 delivers the highest maximum luminous intensity (20.0 mcd), making it optimal for high-visibility applications such as automotive dashboards and industrial control panels where ambient light rejection is critical.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity range of the TLMB3106-GS08?
The TLMB3106-GS08 has a luminous intensity range of 5.0–20.0 mcd at 10 mA forward current, measured at 25 °C ambient. This range reflects factory binning, and units within the same tape reel maintain IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 for consistent appearance. The TLMB3106-GS08 achieves its upper limit under nominal test conditions and may vary slightly with drive current and temperature.
Is the TLMB3106-GS08 compatible with standard reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the TLMB3106-GS08 is qualified for infrared, vapor-phase, and wave soldering per CECC standards. Its PLCC-2 package withstands peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤5 seconds. The TLMB3106-GS08 does not require special thermal profiling beyond standard lead-free reflow guidelines, and its lead-free construction complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
What is the viewing angle specification for the TLMB3106-GS08?
The TLMB3106-GS08 has a viewing angle of ±60° at half-intensity (full width at half maximum), meaning light output drops to 50% of peak intensity at 60° off-axis in both directions. This symmetrical radiation pattern supports wide-angle illumination for backlighting and indicator use. The TLMB3106-GS08 uses a non-diffused lens, preserving directionality for efficient light-pipe coupling.
Does the TLMB3106-GS08 have ESD protection built-in?
The TLMB3106-GS08 is rated ESD Class 1 per ANSI/ESDA-JEDEC JS-001, indicating sensitivity to electrostatic discharge below 250 V (HBM). While it includes basic internal protection, external handling precautions-including grounded workstations and ionized air-are required during assembly. The TLMB3106-GS08 is not intended for direct contact with unshielded human touch in final products without additional circuit-level protection.
What is the forward voltage range of the TLMB3106-GS08 at rated current?
The TLMB3106-GS08 exhibits a forward voltage range of 3.9–4.5 V at 20 mA DC forward current and 25 °C ambient temperature. This variation reflects manufacturing tolerances and must be accounted for when designing current-limiting resistors or selecting constant-current drivers. The TLMB3106-GS08 maintains stable VF behavior across its operating temperature range (–40 °C to +100 °C).
