Product details
Overview
TLMG3101-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount green LED in PLCC-2 package, with luminous intensity of 4–12.5 mcd at 10 mA, dominant wavelength 562–575 nm, and ±60° viewing angle - designed for indicator and backlighting applications in office equipment and audio/video interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TLMG3101-GS08 datasheet, TLMG3101-GS08 pinout, TLMG3101-GS08 application, or TLMG3101-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage (2.2–2.8 V), luminous intensity binning (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per tape unit), non-diffused lens for light-pipe coupling, and Pb-free PLCC-2 footprint compatibility with IR/vapor-phase soldering.
Technical Context
This green LED uses GaP-on-GaP chip technology and features a white thermoplastic PLCC-2 package with clear epoxy lens and internal reflector. Its non-diffused lens enables high-efficiency coupling to light guides and edge-lit LCD backlights.
Rated for DC forward current up to 30 mA at ≤60 °C ambient, it delivers stable optical output across –40 to +100 °C operating temperature, with thermal resistance RthJA = 400 K/W on PCBs with pad area >16 mm².
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 4–12.5 mcd @ 10 mA - ensures consistent visual indication across production units within same tape reel (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6) |
| Dominant wavelength | 562–575 nm - defines true green spectral output suitable for color-coded status indicators |
| Forward voltage | 2.2–2.8 V @ 20 mA - enables direct drive from 3.3 V logic rails with minimal series resistance |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination for front-panel indicators and symbol backlighting |
| Absolute max forward current | 30 mA @ Tamb ≤ 60 °C - sets safe continuous drive limit without derating below 60 °C |
| Reverse voltage | 6 V - defines maximum allowable reverse bias before leakage or damage occurs |
| Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance | 400 K/W - determines required PCB copper area (>16 mm² pad) for thermal management at full current |
Pinout & Package

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables precise optical coupling into light pipes and edge-lit LCD backlights without scattering loss |
| Luminous intensity binning | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per packaging unit - guarantees uniform brightness across LEDs mounted from same reel |

Applications
| Dashboard Indicator Lighting | Telephone Status Indicator |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Illuminating segmented symbols and warning icons on automotive instrument clusters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete green light source driven by microcontroller GPIO or dedicated LED driver IC. Use Value: High-intensity green output (4–12.5 mcd) ensures visibility under direct sunlight; ±60° viewing angle covers wide driver field-of-view. |
Use Scenario: Power-on and line-status indication on desktop telephones and fax machines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone visual feedback element with no timing or control function. Use Value: Low forward voltage (2.2–2.8 V) allows direct interface with 3.3 V or 5 V supply rails using simple resistor biasing. |
| A/V Equipment Front Panel | LCD Symbol Backlighting |
Use Scenario: Power, mute, and input-source indicators on stereo receivers and media players. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive optical emitter activated by discrete transistor switch or logic-level signal. Use Value: Non-diffused lens couples efficiently into molded plastic light guides, minimizing flux loss in thin bezel designs. |
Use Scenario: Edge-lit backlight for membrane switch symbols and small monochrome LCDs in office peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary light source positioned at LCD edge with light pipe or diffuser film. Use Value: Tight luminous intensity binning (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6) ensures uniform brightness across multiple symbols lit from same LED type. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar green LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLMG3102-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity: 10–20 mcd @ 10 mA vs. 4–12.5 mcd | Better suited for high-ambient-light environments (e.g., outdoor kiosks); may require higher series resistance | Select when greater brightness is needed without changing footprint or drive circuit topology |
| TLMP3101-GS08 | Pure green variant: dominant wavelength 555–565 nm, lower intensity (1.6–5 mcd) | Used where color purity (e.g., traffic signal coding) matters more than brightness | Choose for applications requiring CIE-specified pure green chromaticity, not general-purpose green indication |
Compared with TLMG3101-GS08, TLMG3102-GS08 offers higher output for demanding visibility, while TLMP3101-GS08 trades intensity for tighter spectral definition - both share identical PLCC-2 footprint and drive requirements but serve distinct photometric priorities.

FAQ
What is the forward voltage range for TLMG3101-GS08?
The forward voltage of TLMG3101-GS08 is specified as 2.2–2.8 V at 20 mA forward current. This range reflects typical device variation and ensures compatibility with common 3.3 V and 5 V supply rails when paired with appropriate current-limiting resistors. The TLMG3101-GS08 maintains stable operation across this voltage window without requiring active regulation.
Does TLMG3101-GS08 have a diffused or non-diffused lens?
TLMG3101-GS08 features a non-diffused lens, as explicitly stated in its Vishay datasheet. This design maximizes directional light output and improves coupling efficiency into light pipes and edge-lit LCD backlights. The TLMG3101-GS08 is therefore preferred over diffused variants where optical path control and minimal flux loss are critical.
What is the luminous intensity binning specification for TLMG3101-GS08?
TLMG3101-GS08 is binned such that the ratio of maximum to minimum luminous intensity (IVmax/IVmin) within a single packaging unit is ≤1.6. This tight binning ensures consistent brightness across LEDs placed from the same 8 mm tape reel, reducing post-assembly calibration effort in mass-produced indicator panels. The TLMG3101-GS08 achieves this without requiring additional sorting.
Is TLMG3101-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, TLMG3101-GS08 is qualified for infrared, vapor-phase, and wave soldering per CECC standards and rated for peak soldering temperature up to 260 °C for ≤5 seconds. Its e3 termination and Pb-free construction meet RoHS requirements, making the TLMG3101-GS08 fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles used in modern SMT lines.
What is the operating temperature range of TLMG3101-GS08?
TLMG3101-GS08 operates across –40 to +100 °C ambient temperature, with junction temperature limited to 100 °C. Its thermal resistance (RthJA = 400 K/W) requires a minimum 16 mm² copper pad for heat dissipation at full 30 mA drive. The TLMG3101-GS08 maintains specified luminous output and reliability throughout this extended industrial-grade temperature envelope.
