Product details
Overview
TLMS1101-GS15 from Vishay Semiconductors is a red AlInGaP surface-mount LED in 0603 package (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.6 mm), rated for 20 mA forward current, with dominant wavelength 627–639 nm, luminous intensity 50–125 mcd, and forward voltage 1.8–2.4 V - designed for compact backlighting and indicator applications in automotive and industrial environments.
For engineers reviewing the TLMS1101-GS15 datasheet, TLMS1101-GS15 pinout, TLMS1101-GS15 application, or TLMS1101-GS15 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical, electrical, thermal, and packaging data - including AEC-Q102 qualification, ±80° viewing angle, JEDEC Level 2 preconditioning, and IR reflow compatibility - to support rapid selection and layout integration.
Technical Context
The TLMS1101-GS15 is a monolithic AlInGaP-based red LED chip mounted on a high-reliability lead frame, optimized for stable output across -40 °C to +105 °C ambient operation. Its 160° viewing angle and ±80° half-intensity angle stem from planar chip architecture and epoxy lens geometry, not secondary optics.
It operates at 20 mA DC forward current with thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 480 K/W when mounted on a PCB pad >5 mm². Reverse voltage rating is 12 V, and ESD tolerance is 2000 V HBM - consistent with AEC-Q102 stress test requirements for automotive lighting components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 50–125 mcd at 20 mA - enables visibility in low-ambient-light industrial panels without excessive power draw |
| Dominant wavelength | 627–639 nm - standard red spectral output compatible with human-eye peak photopic response |
| Forward voltage | 1.8–2.4 V at 20 mA - supports direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V logic rails with minimal series resistance |
| Viewing angle | ±80° half-intensity - provides uniform illumination across wide-area indicators and keypad backlight zones |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to +105 °C - qualified for under-hood and dashboard locations per AEC-Q102 |
| Package footprint | 0603 (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm) - matches industry-standard passive component land patterns for layout reuse |
| ESD rating | 2000 V HBM - ensures robustness during automated SMT handling and board assembly |
Pinout & Package
TLMS1101-GS15 uses a 2-terminal surface-mount package with anode (A) and cathode (C) terminals on opposite ends of the 0603 body. The package measures 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.6 mm and features bare copper terminations compatible with Pb-free IR reflow (peak 255 °C). No internal bonding wires or substrate vias - chip is die-bonded directly to lead frame.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive terminal | Connected to P-layer of AlInGaP chip; requires current-limiting resistor when driven from fixed-voltage rail |
| Cathode (C) | Negative terminal | Connected to N-layer and heat-sinking lead frame; must be tied to system ground or current-sink driver |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q102 qualification | Validated for automotive interior lighting per stress test requirements including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and ESD |
| JEDEC Level 2 preconditioning | Enables standard SMT assembly without baking; moisture sensitivity level (MSL) compliant for 1-year factory storage at ≤30 °C / 60 % RH |
| 0603 footprint compatibility | Shares land pattern and stencil aperture with generic 0603 passives - eliminates need for custom PCB layout |
| 160° viewing angle | Eliminates need for external diffusers in space-constrained UIs such as navigation button arrays or status indicators |
| AlInGaP chip technology | Delivers stable red chromaticity and higher radiant efficiency than older GaAsP LEDs at same drive current |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLMS1100-GS15 | Luminous intensity 32–63 mcd (lower min/max range); same wavelength, VF, and package | Better suited for low-brightness UI elements where glare reduction is prioritized over visibility in ambient light | Select TLMS1100-GS15 when design requires tighter luminous intensity binning and lower typical output |
| TLMO1100-GS15 | Orange emission (600–609 nm dominant wavelength); identical intensity range (50–80 mcd) and VF specs | Used where color differentiation is required - e.g., warning vs. status states in dual-color indicators | Choose TLMO1100-GS15 only when orange chromaticity is mandated by interface standards or safety coding |
Compared with TLMS1100-GS15, TLMS1101-GS15 offers higher maximum luminous intensity (125 vs. 63 mcd) for improved readability in bright ambient conditions, while TLMO1100-GS15 provides spectrally distinct orange output - neither is pin-compatible drop-in replacement, but all share identical 0603 footprint and solder profile.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for TLMS1101-GS15?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for TLMS1101-GS15 is 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤80 °C. However, the device is characterized and binned at 20 mA, and sustained operation above 20 mA requires thermal derating per the 480 K/W junction-to-ambient resistance. Exceeding 30 mA risks irreversible degradation of the AlInGaP chip.
Does TLMS1101-GS15 require current-limiting circuitry?
Yes, TLMS1101-GS15 requires a series current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver. At 20 mA, its forward voltage ranges from 1.8 V to 2.4 V; driving directly from a 3.3 V or 5 V rail without impedance control will cause current runaway and premature failure. A 75 Ω resistor is typical for 3.3 V operation.
Is TLMS1101-GS15 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, TLMS1101-GS15 is qualified for Pb-free IR reflow per J-STD-020C, with a peak temperature of 255 °C (max 260 °C for ≤10 s). The recommended profile includes ramp-up ≤3 °C/s, time above 217 °C ≤60 s, and cooling rate ≤6 °C/s - matching standard Class 3 assembly requirements.
What does the "GS15" suffix indicate in TLMS1101-GS15?
The "GS15" suffix denotes Vishay's standard 8 mm tape packaging format with 5000 pieces per reel (MOQ = 5000 pcs). It also indicates compliance with JEDEC Level 2 moisture sensitivity and inclusion of dry-pack desiccant and humidity indicator card - critical for managing MSL handling prior to SMT placement.
How is luminous intensity binned for TLMS1101-GS15?
TLMS1101-GS15 is binned into intensity groups per the "Luminous Intensity/Flux Classification" table: it falls in group Vb (50–80 mcd) or Va (63–100 mcd), depending on production lot. Each reel contains only one intensity group - no mixing - and grouping is performed at 20 mA pulse test condition (25 ms duration).
