Product details
Overview
TLME3100-GS08 from Vishay Telefunken is a surface-mount yellow AlInGaP-on-GaAs LED with 25–50 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, 581–594 nm dominant wavelength, ±60° viewing angle, and 2.0–2.6 V forward voltage at 20 mA-designed for dashboard backlighting, telecom indicators, and LCD flat backlighting.
For engineers reviewing the TLME3100-GS08 datasheet, TLME3100-GS08 pinout, TLME3100-GS08 application, or TLME3100-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (IVmax/IVmin = 2.0), low-profile P-LCC-2 package compatibility with IR/vapor-phase soldering, and operation across –40°C to +100°C ambient.
Technical Context
The TLME3100-GS08 uses AlInGaP epitaxial technology on GaAs substrate to deliver high-brightness yellow emission with narrow spectral width (peak at 590 nm). Its non-diffused lens enables efficient coupling into light pipes and uniform backlight panels.
Thermal design is constrained by RthJA = 400 K/W (on PCB pad >16 mm²) and Tj ≤ 100°C, limiting continuous IF to 30 mA at Tamb ≤ 60°C per absolute maximum ratings. Luminous output degrades linearly above 25°C, as confirmed in Figure 5.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 25–50 mcd @ 10 mA - defines visible brightness level for indicator readability under ambient lighting |
| Dominant wavelength | 581–594 nm - specifies yellow chromaticity compliant with automotive and telecom visual signaling standards |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - determines beam spread for uniform illumination of symbols or LCD areas without hotspots |
| Forward voltage | 2.0–2.6 V @ 20 mA - sets minimum driver headroom and impacts power dissipation in series-string designs |
| Junction-to-ambient Rth | 400 K/W - requires ≥16 mm² copper pad for thermal management in high-duty-cycle applications |
| Max forward current | 30 mA @ Tamb ≤ 60°C - defines safe DC drive limit before thermal runaway or lumen depreciation |
| Reverse voltage | 5 V - constrains placement in AC-coupled or bidirectional circuits without external protection |
Pinout & Package
The TLME3100-GS08 uses a 2-terminal P-LCC-2 package (equivalent to size B tantalum capacitor), with anode and cathode terminals formed on the lead frame embedded in white thermoplastic housing and clear epoxy lens.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Positive LED terminal | Connects to current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver output; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse breakdown |
| Cathode | Ground/negative LED terminal | Typically tied to PCB ground plane; serves as thermal path when mounted on ≥16 mm² copper area |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables precise optical coupling to light guides and edge-lit LCD backlights without scattering loss |
| Luminous intensity binning | IVmax/IVmin = 2.0 ensures consistent brightness across units in same tape reel for uniform panel appearance |
| EIA/ICE standard package | P-LCC-2 footprint allows use of standard SMT pick-and-place nozzles and reflow profiles (IR/vapor phase/wave) |
| Low profile construction | Height ≤ 1.7 mm (per datasheet drawing) supports ultra-thin device integration in space-constrained front panels |
Applications
| Automotive Dashboard Backlighting | Telecom Indicator Lighting |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Illuminating segmented symbols and analog gauge markings in vehicle instrument clusters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Light source driven by constant-current LED driver IC or microcontroller GPIO with current-limiting resistor. Use Value: High luminous intensity (25–50 mcd) and ±60° viewing angle ensure legibility across wide driver viewing angles and varying ambient light conditions. | Use Scenario: Status indication on telephone handsets, fax machines, and PBX line cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Visual feedback element powered directly from logic-level outputs or dedicated LED drivers. Use Value: Yellow chromaticity (581–594 nm) provides high contrast against dark plastic housings and meets IEC 60617 visibility requirements. |
| LCD Flat Backlighting | Office Equipment Symbol Illumination |
Use Scenario: Edge-lit backlight for monochrome or grayscale character LCDs in test equipment and industrial HMIs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary light emitter coupled via light pipe or diffuser film to achieve uniform panel illumination. Use Value: Non-diffused lens and directional ±60° pattern maximize coupling efficiency into light guides, reducing required LED count per display. | Use Scenario: Power-on, ready, or error status indicators on printers, scanners, and copiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power visual indicator compatible with 3.3 V or 5 V logic supply rails. Use Value: Low forward voltage (2.0–2.6 V) and 30 mA max rating enable direct drive from MCU I/O pins with minimal external components. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar yellow SMD LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay TLME3101-GS08 | Same P-LCC-2 package; red emission (625 nm dominant wavelength); 30–60 mcd @ 10 mA | Used where red color coding is required (e.g., warning indicators), not interchangeable for yellow-specific signaling | Select TLME3101-GS08 only when red chromaticity and higher typical intensity are needed |
| OSRAM LHU6YG | Yellow AlInGaP LED in 0805 package; 35–70 mcd @ 20 mA; ±70° viewing angle; VF = 2.1–2.5 V | Wider viewing angle and different footprint require PCB redesign; higher drive current capability | Choose LHU6YG for broader illumination coverage or higher intensity, but verify layout compatibility |
Compared with TLME3100-GS08, TLME3101-GS08 offers red emission with similar form factor and drive characteristics, while LHU6YG delivers higher intensity and wider viewing angle in a smaller 0805 footprint-neither is pin-compatible, and both require optical and layout validation for drop-in replacement.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for TLME3100-GS08?
The TLME3100-GS08 has a maximum DC forward current of 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤ 60°C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated lumen depreciation and junction temperature rise beyond the 100°C limit. Derating is required above 60°C, as shown in Figure 2 of the datasheet. Always verify thermal performance in the final PCB layout.
Does TLME3100-GS08 have a diffused or non-diffused lens?
The TLME3100-GS08 features a non-diffused lens, as explicitly stated in its datasheet Features section. This optical design enables high-efficiency coupling into light pipes and edge-lit backlight assemblies-critical for uniform LCD illumination and compact indicator layouts where light directionality matters.
What is the luminous intensity binning ratio for TLME3100-GS08?
The TLME3100-GS08 is binned such that the ratio of maximum to minimum luminous intensity within a single packaging unit is IVmax/IVmin = 2.0. This ensures predictable brightness matching across LEDs used in multi-element displays or panels, reducing post-assembly calibration effort in production.
Can TLME3100-GS08 be soldered using wave soldering?
Yes, TLME3100-GS08 is qualified for wave soldering per CECC standards, as confirmed in the Features section of its datasheet. The P-LCC-2 package withstands peak solder temperatures up to 260°C for ≤5 seconds. Ensure proper preheating and flux selection to avoid lens discoloration or epoxy cracking.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for TLME3100-GS08?
The thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RthJA) for TLME3100-GS08 is 400 K/W when mounted on a PCB with a copper pad area exceeding 16 mm². This value assumes natural convection and is critical for calculating allowable power dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures-refer to Figure 1 for derating curves.
