Product details
Overview
TLMS3100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount red LED in PLCC-2 package, featuring GaAsP-on-GaP technology, 624–636 nm dominant wavelength, ±60° viewing angle, and luminous intensity >2.5 mcd at 10 mA-designed for indicator and backlighting in automotive dashboards and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TLMS3100-GS08 datasheet, TLMS3100-GS08 pinout, TLMS3100-GS08 application, or TLMS3100-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage (2.0–2.6 V @ 20 mA), reverse voltage rating (6 V), thermal resistance (400 K/W), and luminous intensity binning (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 option available).
Technical Context
This red SMD LED uses GaAsP-on-GaP heterostructure technology to deliver super-red emission with dominant wavelength tightly controlled between 624 nm and 636 nm. Its non-diffused lens enables efficient coupling into light pipes and LCD backlights.
The PLCC-2 package features a white thermoplastic body with embedded lead frame and clear epoxy-filled reflector cavity. Thermal resistance is specified at 400 K/W when mounted on a PCB pad >16 mm², supporting operation from –40 °C to +100 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | >2.5 mcd @ 10 mA - ensures visibility in low-power indicator applications |
| Dominant wavelength | 624–636 nm - defines precise red chromaticity for consistent human-perceived color |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination for panel backlighting and symbol indication |
| Forward voltage | 2.0–2.6 V @ 20 mA - enables direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V logic rails with minimal series resistance |
| Reverse voltage | 6 V - allows safe handling during automated placement and compatibility with standard test fixtures |
| Junction temperature | 100 °C max - sets thermal derating limit for continuous operation in sealed enclosures |
| Thermal resistance | 400 K/W - determines required PCB copper area for thermal management at 30 mA DC |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar red SMD LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLMS3101-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity range: 4–12.5 mcd vs. >2.5 mcd; otherwise identical package, wavelength, and ratings | Suitable where higher brightness is required without changing board layout or drive circuit | Select TLMS3101-GS08 when design requires greater margin for aging or optical attenuation |
| TSAL6100 | Same PLCC-2 package but InGaAlP technology; dominant wavelength 640 nm (peak), 630 nm (dominant); VF ~2.1 V | Better high-temperature luminous maintenance; used in outdoor-facing indicators | Choose TSAL6100 for extended life in elevated ambient conditions (>85 °C) |
Compared with TLMS3100-GS08, TLMS3101-GS08 offers higher and binned luminous intensity while maintaining full mechanical and electrical compatibility; TSAL6100 provides improved thermal stability and longer lifetime at the cost of slightly shifted chromaticity and different material system.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for TLMS3100-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for TLMS3100-GS08 is 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤60 °C. Operation above this value risks accelerated degradation or thermal runaway. Derating is required above 60 °C ambient, per Figure 1 in the datasheet, where power dissipation drops linearly to zero at 100 °C. Always verify thermal design using the 400 K/W junction-to-ambient resistance value when implementing TLMS3100-GS08 in enclosed assemblies.
Does TLMS3100-GS08 have a diffused or non-diffused lens?
TLMS3100-GS08 features a non-diffused lens, as explicitly stated in the "FEATURES" section of its datasheet. This optical design maximizes light directionality and coupling efficiency into light pipes and edge-lit backlights-critical for uniform LCD symbol illumination and compact indicator layouts. Diffused variants are not offered in the TLMS3100 series.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in TLMS3100-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix in TLMS3100-GS08 denotes two attributes: "GS" indicates lead (Pb)-free construction compliant with RoHS, and "08" specifies packaging in 8 mm tape format on standard carrier reels-optimized for high-speed automated placement equipment. This matches Vishay's documented tape-and-reel standard for PLCC-2 devices.
Can TLMS3100-GS08 be used in automotive applications?
Yes, TLMS3100-GS08 is qualified for automotive applications including dashboard backlighting and switch illumination, as confirmed by its –40 °C to +100 °C operating temperature range, AEC-Q200 alignment (per Vishay's general qualification policy for standard LEDs), and explicit listing under "Automotive" in the Applications section of Document 83170. Its 6 V reverse voltage rating also supports transient protection in vehicle electrical environments.
What is the typical forward voltage of TLMS3100-GS08 at 20 mA?
The typical forward voltage of TLMS3100-GS08 at 20 mA is 2.3 V, with a guaranteed range of 2.0 V to 2.6 V per the "OPTICAL AND ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table. This value is measured at Tamb = 25 °C; actual VF will decrease by approximately 1.8 mV/K with rising junction temperature, as specified by its temperature coefficient TCVF.
