Product details
Overview
TLMS1000-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a low-current red surface-mount LED in the 0603 package (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.6 mm), featuring dominant wavelength 624–636 nm, luminous intensity 1.8–4 mcd at 2 mA, and ±80° viewing angle. It delivers high reliability in harsh environments with AEC-Q102 qualification, -40 °C to +105 °C operating range, and AlInGaP technology for stable red emission.
For engineers reviewing the TLMS1000-GS08 datasheet, TLMS1000-GS08 pinout, TLMS1000-GS08 application, or TLMS1000-GS08 equivalent, this device is selected for space-constrained indicator and backlighting designs requiring automotive-grade robustness, precise spectral output, and compatibility with IR reflow soldering processes.
Technical Context
The TLMS1000-GS08 is a monolithic AlInGaP-based red LED chip mounted on a lead frame with reflective cup structure, optimized for low-drive operation at 2 mA. Its optical design achieves ±80° half-intensity angle and 160° total viewing angle while maintaining tight wavelength binning (±2 nm typical) and intensity grouping per reel.
Thermally, it features 500 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance when mounted on ≥5 mm² PCB pads and supports surge forward current up to 100 mA (10 μs pulse). Reverse voltage rating is 12 V, and ESD tolerance meets HBM 2 kV - critical for handling in automated assembly lines.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
TLMS1000-GS08 uses a two-terminal 0603 SMD package with anode (A) and cathode (C) terminals on opposite ends of the rectangular body. The package has no internal leads - electrical connection is made via soldered contacts to the bottom metallized pads. Polarity is marked by a cathode notch on the top surface per tape orientation diagram.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive terminal | Connected to current source; requires series resistor to limit IF to ≤30 mA (max rated) |
| Cathode (C) | Negative terminal | Connected to ground or sink driver; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse breakdown (VR = 12 V max) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Smallest SMD LED package | 0603 footprint (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm) enables placement in <1.0 mm pitch keypads and dense display bezels |
| AEC-Q102 qualification | Validated for automotive ambient conditions including thermal shock (-40 °C ↔ +105 °C) and humidity exposure |
| AlInGaP semiconductor material | Delivers stable red emission with minimal wavelength shift over temperature (Δλd ≈ ±0.2 nm/°C) |
| JEDEC Level 2 preconditioning | Ensures moisture sensitivity compliance for lead-free reflow (peak 260 °C, ≤100 s above 217 °C) |
| Wide viewing angle | 160° total viewing angle improves off-axis readability in angled or recessed mounting configurations |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar red LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VSMF3720-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity (12–20 mcd at 20 mA), larger 0805 package (2.0 mm × 1.25 mm), VF = 2.0–2.6 V | Requires higher drive current and more board area; better suited for long-distance visibility | Select VSMF3720-GS08 only if >10 mcd output is required and 0603 footprint constraint is relaxed |
| TLMS1000-GS15 | Identical die and optics; differs only in tape packaging (8 mm tape, 5000 pcs/reel vs. GS08's unspecified tape width and MOQ) | No functional or electrical difference; GS15 is standard production variant with defined reel quantity | TLMS1000-GS08 and TLMS1000-GS15 share identical performance - GS08 may reflect custom tape configuration for specific OEM programs |
Compared with VSMF3720-GS08, TLMS1000-GS08 offers superior space efficiency and lower power draw but trades off raw brightness; versus TLMS1000-GS15, it maintains identical electro-optical behavior with potential packaging-level differentiation for logistics or traceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for TLMS1000-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for TLMS1000-GS08 is 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤80 °C. However, its typical operating condition is 2 mA, where luminous intensity and wavelength are specified. Exceeding 2 mA increases power dissipation and may accelerate lumen depreciation; sustained operation above 20 mA requires thermal derating per the 500 K/W RthJA specification.
Is TLMS1000-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, TLMS1000-GS08 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020C, with a peak package body temperature of 260 °C for ≤100 s above 217 °C. The device is preconditioned to JEDEC Level 2 and shipped in dry-packed anti-humidity bags with MSL labeling. Proper baking per J-STD-033 is required if moisture exposure exceeds limits before reflow.
Does TLMS1000-GS08 have polarity marking on the package?
Yes, TLMS1000-GS08 features a cathode (C) identification mark - a small notch or bevel on the top surface near the cathode terminal. This matches the tape orientation diagram in the datasheet, where the cathode is positioned toward the sprocket holes. Correct polarity alignment is essential to prevent reverse breakdown, as VR is limited to 12 V.
What is the viewing angle specification of TLMS1000-GS08?
TLMS1000-GS08 has an angle of half intensity of ±80°, resulting in a total viewing angle of 160°. This means luminous intensity drops to 50% of its on-axis value at ±80° from centerline. The wide dispersion supports usability in applications where users view the LED from oblique angles, such as curved dashboards or recessed control panels.
How does TLMS1000-GS08 differ from TLMS1000-GS15?
TLMS1000-GS08 and TLMS1000-GS15 share identical die, optical characteristics, electrical parameters, and package dimensions. The suffix difference reflects tape-and-reel packaging configuration: GS15 specifies 8 mm tape and 5000 pcs/reel MOQ, while GS08 denotes a variant with alternate tape width or reel quantity - both deliver identical TLMS1000-GS08 performance in circuit design and application.
