Product details
Overview
TLMD3100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount red LED in PLCC-2 package, featuring GaAlAs-on-GaAs technology, 20 mcd typical luminous intensity at 10 mA, 648 nm dominant wavelength, and ±60° viewing angle-designed for backlighting and indicator applications in automotive dashboards and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TLMD3100-GS08 datasheet, TLMD3100-GS08 pinout, TLMD3100-GS08 application, or TLMD3100-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6), low-profile non-diffused lens for light-pipe coupling, 30 mA DC forward current rating, and Pb-free RoHS-compliant construction.
Technical Context
This device operates as a visible-light emitter with a narrow spectral peak at 650 nm and dominant wavelength at 648 nm, optimized for human-eye sensitivity in indicator and backlight roles. Its thermoplastic PLCC-2 package embeds a lead frame with clear epoxy-filled reflector cavity, enabling high optical efficiency and mechanical robustness under IR/vapor-phase reflow.
The TLMD3100-GS08 exhibits thermal resistance of 400 K/W (junction-to-ambient, mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB pad) and supports continuous operation from –40 °C to +100 °C ambient, with maximum junction temperature limited to 100 °C and reverse voltage tolerance up to 6 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 20 mcd typ. at 10 mA - sufficient for clear visibility in low-ambient-light indicators and LCD backlighting |
| Dominant wavelength | 648 nm - standard red emission aligned with automotive and industrial visual signaling requirements |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - wide beam for uniform illumination across symbols, switches, and flat panels |
| Forward voltage | 1.8–2.2 V at 20 mA - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-supplied driver circuits |
| DC forward current | 30 mA - enables stable continuous operation without derating below 60 °C ambient |
| Thermal resistance | 400 K/W - requires minimum 16 mm² copper pad for thermal management in high-density layouts |
| Reverse voltage | 6 V - provides basic ESD and transient protection in low-voltage indicator circuits |
Pinout & Package
TLMD3100-GS08 uses a 2-pin PLCC-2 (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) surface-mount package, equivalent in footprint to size B tantalum capacitors. The package features a white thermoplastic body with non-diffused lens and internal reflector filled with clear epoxy.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive LED terminal | Connected to current source or microcontroller GPIO via current-limiting resistor; polarity must be observed during placement |
| Cathode (K) | Negative LED terminal | Typically tied to ground or sink driver; marking dot on package identifies cathode side |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables efficient coupling into light pipes and edge-lit LCD backlights without scattering loss |
| Luminous intensity binning | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per tape unit - ensures consistent brightness across assembled units |
| Pb-free construction | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow standards |
| Low profile package | Height ≤ 2.8 mm - fits space-constrained front-panel and PCB-mounted indicator designs |
| Solder process compatibility | Validated for infrared, vapor phase, and wave soldering per CECC standards |
Applications
| Automotive Dashboard Backlighting | Office Equipment Indicators |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Illuminating segmented symbols and analog gauge markings in vehicle instrument clusters under varying ambient lighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete red LED emitter providing steady-state visual feedback without PWM flicker or color shift. Use Value: 20 mcd output and ±60° viewing angle ensure legibility at driver's eye position; non-diffused lens minimizes light loss in molded light-guide paths. | Use Scenario: Status indication on multifunction printers, scanners, and copiers where compact, reliable, and long-life emitters are required. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone visible-light source driven by low-current GPIO or discrete transistor switch. Use Value: 30 mA DC rating and –40 °C to +100 °C operating range support unattended operation in warm equipment enclosures and cold storage environments. |
| Audio/Video Equipment Backlighting | Battery-Powered Device Indicators |
Use Scenario: Edge-lit backlight for front-panel buttons and display overlays in AV receivers and home theater systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary red-light source coupled to acrylic light pipes for uniform panel illumination. Use Value: Low 1.8–2.2 V forward voltage reduces power draw from 3.3 V supply rails; non-diffused lens maximizes coupling efficiency into light guides. | Use Scenario: Power-on and mode-status indication in portable medical monitors, handheld test tools, and wireless sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power visible emitter operating directly from coin-cell or Li-ion battery sources via simple resistor bias. Use Value: 2 mcd output at 1 mA enables ultra-low-power status signaling; 100 mW power dissipation limit prevents thermal stress in sealed enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar red LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay TLMD3101-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity range: 16–50 mcd vs. TLMD3100-GS08's 10–20 mcd; same package and electrical specs | Better suited for higher-brightness indicator panels where contrast against ambient light is critical | Select TLMD3101-GS08 when >20 mcd minimum output is required; otherwise TLMD3100-GS08 offers tighter binning (≤1.6 ratio) |
| ROHM SML-D12DWT86 | PLCC-2 package, 630 nm dominant wavelength, 15–35 mcd at 20 mA; slightly lower VF (1.7–2.1 V) | Optimized for high-reliability industrial displays; different luminous intensity grading and thermal resistance (350 K/W) | Choose SML-D12DWT86 for extended thermal performance or alternate spectral tuning; TLMD3100-GS08 preferred for Vishay supply chain continuity and documented IV binning |
Compared with TLMD3101-GS08 and SML-D12DWT86, the TLMD3100-GS08 delivers tighter luminous intensity matching within tape units (≤1.6 ratio), making it optimal for applications requiring consistent visual appearance across multiple units-such as automotive interior lighting and branded consumer electronics front panels.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity specification for TLMD3100-GS08?
The TLMD3100-GS08 has a typical luminous intensity of 20 mcd at 10 mA forward current and 25 °C ambient temperature, with a minimum of 10 mcd and maximum of 20 mcd per the datasheet. It is binned to ensure IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within each 8 mm tape unit, supporting consistent brightness across assembled products.
Does TLMD3100-GS08 support automated SMT placement?
Yes, TLMD3100-GS08 is designed for compatibility with standard automated pick-and-place equipment. Its PLCC-2 package conforms to EIA and ICE standards, and the device is supplied in 8 mm carrier tape-enabling high-yield, repeatable placement in high-volume manufacturing lines.
What is the maximum forward current rating for TLMD3100-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for TLMD3100-GS08 is 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤ 60 °C. At higher ambient temperatures, derating is required per the power dissipation curve; the device must not exceed 100 mW total power dissipation or 100 °C junction temperature.
Is TLMD3100-GS08 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, TLMD3100-GS08 is a lead (Pb)-free device and fully compliant with the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Vishay confirms no ozone-depleting substances are used in its manufacture, and the part meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile requirements for Pb-free assembly.
What is the viewing angle and lens type of TLMD3100-GS08?
The TLMD3100-GS08 features a ±60° angle of half intensity and a non-diffused lens. This optical configuration delivers a focused, directional beam ideal for coupling into light pipes and edge-lit backlight assemblies-unlike diffused LEDs that scatter light broadly for general indication.
