Product details
Overview
TLMS2100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a red surface-mount LED in a 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm MiniLED package, with typical luminous intensity of 7.5 mcd at 10 mA, dominant wavelength 624–636 nm, ±60° viewing angle, and forward voltage 2.1–3.0 V at 20 mA. It serves as a compact, low-power indicator or backlighting source in automotive dashboards and industrial control panels.
For engineers reviewing the TLMS2100-GS08 datasheet, TLMS2100-GS08 pinout, TLMS2100-GS08 application, or TLMS2100-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 2.0), thermal resistance (480 K/W), operating temperature range (−40 °C to +100 °C), and compatibility with IR reflow soldering per IPC-9501.
Technical Context
The TLMS2100-GS08 is a GaAsP-on-GaP red LED optimized for high-brightness SMD applications requiring tight luminous intensity matching within packaging units. Its non-diffused lens enables efficient coupling to light pipes and LCD backlights, while its low-profile package supports automated placement on dense PCBs.
Designed for ambient temperatures up to +100 °C, it sustains 30 mA DC forward current at Tamb ≤ 60 °C and exhibits 15 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz, supporting stable switching behavior in multiplexed display drivers and status indicators.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 7.5 mcd typ. at 10 mA - ensures visibility under typical indoor lighting without excessive power draw |
| Dominant wavelength | 624–636 nm - defines precise red chromaticity compliant with automotive interior color standards |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination for panel-mounted indicators and symbols |
| Forward voltage | 2.1–3.0 V at 20 mA - compatible with standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic-supplied current-limiting resistor networks |
| Thermal resistance | 480 K/W - requires ≥5 mm² copper pad for reliable operation at max rated current in sealed enclosures |
| Reverse voltage | 6 V - limits allowable reverse bias in AC-coupled or bidirectional drive configurations |
| Operating temp. | −40 °C to +100 °C - validated for under-hood automotive and industrial control cabinet environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: MiniLED SMD, 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm, non-diffused lens, lead (Pb)-free, EIA/ICE-compliant footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive LED terminal | Connected to current source or microcontroller GPIO via series resistor; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse breakdown |
| Cathode (K) | Negative LED terminal | Typically tied to ground or sink driver; reverse voltage rating of 6 V constrains use in AC or bidirectional circuits |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity ratio control | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 2.0 per tape unit - enables consistent brightness across multi-LED arrays without individual calibration |
| Low-profile SMD package | 1.4 mm height - allows integration into space-constrained front-panel assemblies and thin display bezels |
| IR reflow compatible | Rated for 245 °C peak soldering temperature - supports standard Pb-free assembly processes without degradation |
| Non-diffused lens | Directional emission pattern - maximizes coupling efficiency into light guides and edge-lit LCD backlights |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for TLMS2100-GS08?
The TLMS2100-GS08 supports a maximum DC forward current of 30 mA when ambient temperature is ≤ 60 °C. At higher ambient temperatures, derating is required per Figure 2 in the datasheet; for example, at 85 °C ambient, the safe operating current drops to approximately 15 mA. Exceeding this limit risks accelerated lumen depreciation and junction overheating.
Does TLMS2100-GS08 have a diffused or non-diffused lens?
The TLMS2100-GS08 features a non-diffused lens, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the datasheet. This design delivers directional light output ideal for coupling into light pipes, edge-lit LCD backlights, and focused indicator applications-unlike diffused LEDs that sacrifice intensity for wider angular spread.
What is the luminous intensity tolerance within a single tape unit of TLMS2100-GS08?
Within one packaging unit (GS08 = 3000 pcs), the TLMS2100-GS08 is binned such that IVmax/IVmin ≤ 2.0. An optional tighter binning with ratio ≤ 1.6 is available upon request. This ensures predictable brightness matching across LEDs used in multi-element displays or status arrays without post-assembly sorting.
Can TLMS2100-GS08 be used in reverse-bias configurations?
The TLMS2100-GS08 permits short-term reverse bias up to 6 V, as noted in the datasheet's "Note 2". However, it is not designed for sustained reverse conduction or AC operation. Prolonged reverse voltage exposure may cause irreversible degradation; use only in DC forward-biased applications or brief reverse pulses in specialized driving schemes.
What is the recommended PCB pad size for optimal thermal performance of TLMS2100-GS08?
Vishay specifies that thermal resistance RthJA = 480 K/W is measured with the TLMS2100-GS08 mounted on a PCB pad larger than 5 mm². To achieve this rating and prevent thermal runaway at full 30 mA drive, designers must provide ≥5 mm² of exposed copper connected to the cathode pad, preferably with thermal vias to inner ground planes.
