Product details
Overview
TLMH3100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount red LED in PLCC-2 package, with dominant wavelength 612–625 nm, luminous intensity ≥2.5 mcd at 10 mA, forward voltage 2.0–2.8 V at 20 mA, and ±60° viewing angle-designed for dashboard backlighting, switch indicators, and LCD symbol illumination.
For engineers reviewing the TLMH3100-Gs08 datasheet, TLMH3100-GS08 pinout, TLMH3100-GS08 application, or TLMH3100-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per tape unit), low-profile non-diffused lens for light-pipe coupling, Pb-free construction, and compatibility with IR/vapor-phase/wave soldering per CECC standards.
Technical Context
The TLMH3100-GS08 uses GaAsP-on-GaP epitaxial technology to emit red light with peak wavelength at 635 nm and dominant wavelength centered between 612 nm and 625 nm. Its optical output is optimized for uniform angular distribution within ±60° half-intensity angle.
Electrically, it operates with DC forward current up to 30 mA at ≤60 °C ambient, reverse voltage rating of 6 V, and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 400 K/W when mounted on a PCB pad >16 mm²-enabling reliable operation in automotive and office equipment environments from –40 °C to +100 °C.

FAQ
What is the dominant wavelength range specified for the TLMH3100-GS08?
The TLMH3100-GS08 has a dominant wavelength range of 612 nm to 625 nm, measured at 10 mA forward current. This spectral band defines its red chromaticity and ensures consistent color rendering across production lots. The peak wavelength is 635 nm. These values are confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 83032, Rev. 1.8.
What is the maximum DC forward current rating for the TLMH3100-GS08?
The TLMH3100-GS08 is rated for a maximum DC forward current of 30 mA when ambient temperature is ≤60 °C. Exceeding this current without thermal derating risks accelerated degradation or junction failure. The device's 400 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance assumes mounting on a PCB pad >16 mm².
Is the TLMH3100-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the TLMH3100-GS08 is qualified for infrared, vapor phase, and wave soldering per CECC standards and supports lead-free assembly. Its maximum soldering temperature is 260 °C for ≤5 seconds. The device carries an e3 finish, confirming Pb-free termination in compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in TLMH3100-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging in 8 mm carrier tape, standard for automated SMT placement. It confirms the part is supplied in EIA-481-compliant format with proper orientation and pocket spacing. This packaging aligns with the "Available in 8 mm tape" feature stated in the Vishay datasheet.
How is luminous intensity binned for the TLMH3100-GS08?
The TLMH3100-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 uniform brightness across LEDs used in multi-element displays or arrays, reducing post-assembly calibration effort. Binning is performed at 10 mA forward current per the datasheet.
