Product details
Overview
TLMTG3100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount green LED in PLCC-2 package, with luminous intensity ≥4 mcd at 10 mA, dominant wavelength 562–575 nm, and ±60° viewing angle-designed for indicator and backlighting applications in automotive dashboards and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TLMTG3100-GS08 datasheet, TLMTG3100-GS08 pinout, TLMTG3100-GS08 application, or TLMTG3100-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage (2.2–2.8 V), absolute maximum DC forward current (30 mA), thermal resistance (400 K/W), and luminous intensity binning (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per tape unit).
Technical Context
This green LED uses GaP-on-GaP semiconductor technology and features a non-diffused lens optimized for coupling to light pipes and flat backlighting. Its PLCC-2 package (equivalent to size B tantalum capacitor) integrates a white thermoplastic body with embedded lead frame and clear epoxy-filled reflector.
Rated for operation from −40 °C to +100 °C ambient, it supports infrared, vapor-phase, and wave soldering per CECC standards and is supplied in 8 mm tape. The device is lead (Pb)-free and complies with ozone-depleting substances restrictions under the Montreal Protocol.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | ≥4 mcd at 10 mA - ensures visible indication under typical panel lighting conditions |
| Dominant wavelength | 562–575 nm - defines true green spectral output compatible with human eye sensitivity peak |
| Forward voltage | 2.2–2.8 V at 20 mA - enables low-voltage drive compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-supplied LED drivers |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide uniform illumination for front-panel indicators and symbol backlighting |
| Absolute max forward current | 30 mA at Tamb ≤ 60 °C - sets safe continuous operating limit for PCB trace sizing and thermal design |
| Thermal resistance | 400 K/W on PCB with pad >16 mm² - informs heatsinking requirements for sustained brightness stability |
| Luminous intensity ratio | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per tape unit - guarantees consistent brightness across LEDs in same reel for uniform panel appearance |
Pinout & Package
TLMTG3100-GS08 uses a 2-pin PLCC-2 (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) surface-mount package with dimensions 3.5 mm × 2.8 mm × 1.75 mm (L × W × H), featuring a non-diffused lens and white thermoplastic body. Pin identification follows standard PLCC-2 orientation: Pin 1 (anode) is marked by a notch or dot on the package top edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Positive terminal requiring current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver; connects to supply rail in common-cathode configurations |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Ground return path; must be connected to system GND or driver low-side switch; polarity-sensitive for correct emission |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables precise optical coupling to light guides and edge-lit LCD backlights without scattering loss |
| Luminous intensity binning | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per tape unit ensures uniform brightness across production batches for consistent HMI appearance |
| Lead (Pb)-free construction | Meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and eliminates hazardous substance handling in assembly and end-of-life processing |
| Solder process compatibility | Validated for infrared, vapor-phase, and wave soldering per CECC standards - supports high-yield SMT reflow |
| Low profile package | 1.75 mm height allows integration into space-constrained front panels and compact consumer electronics enclosures |
Applications
| Automotive Dashboard Backlighting | Office Equipment Indicator |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Illuminating segmented symbols and status icons on instrument cluster overlays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete green light source driven by constant-current LED driver ICs (e.g., TLC591x series) or GPIO-controlled resistive bias. Use Value: High luminous intensity (>4 mcd) and ±60° viewing angle ensure legibility across driver's field of view without hotspots or glare. |
Use Scenario: Power-on, ready, and error status indication on printers, scanners, and multifunction devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Directly driven by microcontroller GPIO pins with series resistor or integrated LED driver ASICs. Use Value: Low forward voltage (2.2–2.8 V) reduces power dissipation in multi-LED arrays and extends battery life in portable office peripherals. |
| Audio/Video Equipment Backlight | LCD Symbol Backlighting |
Use Scenario: Edge-lit backlight for front-panel buttons and rotary encoder markings on AV receivers and amplifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Coupled via light pipe to distribute uniform green illumination across multiple tactile controls. Use Value: Non-diffused lens maximizes coupling efficiency into acrylic light guides, minimizing LED count and board area. |
Use Scenario: Flat-area backlight for segmented LCD displays in test equipment, industrial HMIs, and POS terminals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Arrayed in parallel or series strings powered by dedicated LED boost/buck drivers (e.g., MAX168xx family). Use Value: Tight luminous intensity binning (≤1.6 ratio) prevents visible brightness mismatch between adjacent segments in monochrome displays. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar green LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLMG3102-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity (10–20 mcd at 10 mA) with identical package, wavelength, and electrical specs | Better suited for high-ambient-light environments (e.g., outdoor kiosks) where >4 mcd is insufficient | Select when higher brightness is required without changing PCB layout or drive circuitry |
| TLMP3102-GS08 | Pure green variant with dominant wavelength 555–565 nm and lower luminous intensity (2.5–8 mcd) | Narrower spectral output improves color fidelity in multi-color status systems requiring distinct green/yellow separation | Choose for applications demanding strict chromaticity compliance (e.g., medical device UIs) over raw intensity |
Compared with TLMTG3100-GS08, TLMG3102-GS08 delivers higher brightness in the same footprint for enhanced visibility, while TLMP3102-GS08 trades intensity for tighter spectral purity-enabling accurate color coding where hue discrimination matters more than luminance.

FAQ
What is the forward voltage range for TLMTG3100-GS08 at 20 mA?
The forward voltage of TLMTG3100-GS08 is specified as 2.2 V (typical) to 2.8 V (maximum) at 20 mA forward current and 25 °C ambient temperature. This range reflects manufacturing variation in the GaP-on-GaP die and ensures compatibility with standard 3.3 V and 5 V LED driver circuits. Designers should use 2.8 V in worst-case calculations for resistor sizing or current-source headroom.
Does TLMTG3100-GS08 have a diffused or non-diffused lens?
TLMTG3100-GS08 features a non-diffused lens, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet. This optical design minimizes light scattering and maximizes directional output-making it ideal for coupling into light pipes, edge-lit backlights, and applications requiring focused illumination rather than broad, soft diffusion.
What is the maximum allowable DC forward current for TLMTG3100-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for TLMTG3100-GS08 is 30 mA, rated for ambient temperatures up to +60 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated degradation and reduced lifetime. At higher ambient temperatures, derating is required-e.g., ~25 mA at +85 °C-as confirmed by the "Forward Current vs. Ambient Temperature" curve in Figure 2 of the datasheet.
Is TLMTG3100-GS08 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, TLMTG3100-GS08 is a lead (Pb)-free device and fully compliant with the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Vishay confirms no ozone-depleting substances are used in its manufacture, and the part carries the "e3" marking per J-STD-609, indicating matte tin termination and Pb-free construction throughout the package and lead frame.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in TLMTG3100-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging: "G" indicates green color, "S" signifies SMD (surface-mount device), and "08" specifies 8 mm carrier tape width per EIA-481 standard. This format enables automated pick-and-place assembly and is compatible with standard SMT feeders used in high-volume electronics manufacturing.
