Product details
Overview
TLMK3100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount red AlInGaP-on-GaAs LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering ≥10 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, with dominant wavelength 630 nm, ±60° viewing angle, and forward voltage 1.9–2.6 V at 20 mA. It serves as an indicator or backlighting element in automotive dashboards, telecom devices, and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TLMK3100-GS08 datasheet, TLMK3100-GS08 pinout, TLMK3100-GS08 application, or TLMK3100-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (IV ≥10 mcd), low-profile PLCC-2 footprint compatibility with IR/vapor-phase soldering, non-diffused lens for light-pipe coupling, and Pb-free construction per RoHS.
Technical Context
The TLMK3100-GS08 uses AlInGaP-on-GaAs semiconductor technology to achieve high-brightness red emission with narrow spectral peak at 643 nm and dominant wavelength at 630 nm. Its optical output is characterized by a ±60° half-intensity angle and non-diffused epoxy lens optimized for directional coupling.
Electrically, it operates within 30 mA DC forward current limit and 5 V reverse voltage rating, with thermal resistance of 400 K/W when mounted on a PCB pad >16 mm². The device supports ambient temperatures from –40 °C to +100 °C and junction temperature up to 100 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | ≥10 mcd at 10 mA - ensures visibility in low-power indicator applications |
| Dominant wavelength | 630 nm - standard red color matching automotive and telecom signaling requirements |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide but controlled beam spread for uniform panel backlighting |
| Forward voltage | 1.9–2.6 V at 20 mA - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-supplied current-limiting resistor designs |
| Package | PLCC-2 (size B tantalum equivalent) - enables automated placement and reflow compatibility |
| Max forward current | 30 mA - defines safe continuous drive level without thermal derating below 60 °C |
| Junction-to-ambient Rth | 400 K/W - requires minimum 16 mm² copper pad for thermal management in sustained operation |
Pinout & Package
PLCC-2 package: 2-terminal surface-mount device with cathode/anode leads embedded in white thermoplastic body; non-diffused clear epoxy lens; low-profile height ≤1.9 mm; lead (Pb)-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive LED terminal | Connected to current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver output; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse breakdown |
| Cathode (K) | Negative LED terminal | Typically tied to ground or low-side switch; 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 ratio control | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per tape unit - reduces bin-matching effort in mass production |
| Low power consumption | Operates at 10–20 mA - extends battery life in portable indicators and reduces heat in dense arrays |
| Infrared/vapor-phase/wave solder compatible | Withstands 260 °C for ≤5 s - supports high-yield SMT assembly without lens degradation |

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 TLMP3100-GS08 | Same PLCC-2 package, identical AlInGaP-on-GaAs die, but rated IV ≥12 mcd at 10 mA | Slightly higher intensity bin; otherwise interchangeable in all electrical and mechanical aspects | Select when tighter luminance consistency or margin above 10 mcd is required |
| ROHM SML-P111UTT86 | PLCC-2, red AlInGaP, IV = 11–18 mcd at 20 mA, VF = 2.0–2.4 V, λd = 624 nm | Narrower dominant wavelength (624 nm vs. 630 nm); lower thermal resistance (300 K/W) | Prefer for color-critical UIs or higher ambient temperature environments where thermal performance is limiting |
Compared with TLMK3100-GS08, TLMP3100-GS08 offers higher minimum intensity with no layout or drive changes, while SML-P111UTT86 shifts hue slightly and improves thermal dissipation-both require validation of optical alignment due to differing lens profiles.

FAQ
What is the minimum luminous intensity specification for TLMK3100-GS08?
The TLMK3100-GS08 is specified with a minimum luminous intensity of 10 mcd at 10 mA forward current and 25 °C ambient temperature. This value is guaranteed per datasheet Document Number 83153 Rev. 1.7, and applies to all units within the same tape packaging unit where IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6. The typical value is 18 mcd under the same conditions.
Does TLMK3100-GS08 support infrared reflow soldering?
Yes, TLMK3100-GS08 is qualified for infrared, vapor-phase, and wave soldering per CECC standards. Its package withstands peak soldering temperatures up to 260 °C for durations ≤5 seconds, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Vishay datasheet. No special preheat or cooling profiles are required beyond standard Pb-free SMT guidelines.
What is the viewing angle of TLMK3100-GS08 and how does it affect optical design?
The TLMK3100-GS08 has a ±60° angle of half intensity, meaning luminous intensity drops to 50% at ±60° from the optical axis. This wide but controlled beam enables uniform illumination of symbols or light-pipe inputs without excessive spill. Its non-diffused lens preserves directionality, making it ideal for applications where light must be channeled rather than scattered.
Is TLMK3100-GS08 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, TLMK3100-GS08 is a lead (Pb)-free device and fully RoHS compliant. Vishay explicitly states this in the Features section and confirms absence of ozone-depleting substances in its policy statement. The "e3" termination code in the datasheet denotes matte tin (Sn) plating, and the device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1.
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for TLMK3100-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for TLMK3100-GS08 is 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤60 °C. Above 60 °C, current must be linearly derated to maintain junction temperature ≤100 °C. At 85 °C ambient, the recommended maximum is approximately 22 mA, based on the thermal resistance of 400 K/W and typical power dissipation curve in Figure 1 of the datasheet.
