Product details
Overview
TLMY1000-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a yellow AlInGaP-based surface-mount LED in 0603 package (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.6 mm), rated for 2 mA forward current, with dominant wavelength 580–595 nm, luminous intensity 3.55–7.5 mcd, and ±80° half-intensity angle - deployed in compact industrial displays and automotive indicator systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLMY1000-GS08 datasheet, TLMY1000-GS08 pinout, TLMY1000-GS08 application, or TLMY1000-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q102 qualification, JEDEC Level 2 preconditioning, IR reflow compatibility, 160° viewing angle, and -40 °C to +105 °C operating range for high-reliability embedded lighting.
Technical Context
This device is a low-current, high-brightness monochromatic yellow LED built on AllnGaP epitaxial technology, optimized for 2 mA drive conditions with forward voltage 1.8–2.6 V and reverse voltage rating of 12 V. Its thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 500 K/W when mounted on a PCB with pad area > 5 mm².
The TLMY1000-GS08 features an extremely wide 160° viewing angle (±80° half-intensity), AEC-Q102 qualification for automotive use, and JEDEC Level 2 moisture sensitivity handling - enabling robust operation in miniaturized, thermally constrained, and vibration-prone environments such as navigation system UIs and traffic indicators.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar yellow LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLMO1000-GS15 | Soft orange emission (600–609 nm dominant wavelength); identical package, drive conditions, and specs except color. | Used where amber/orange chromaticity is required for differentiation (e.g., caution vs. warning indicators). | Select TLMO1000-GS15 when orange hue is mandated by UI color coding or regulatory signaling standards. |
| LTST-C171KSKT (Lite-On) | 0603 yellow LED with 590 nm nominal wavelength, 5.5 mcd @ 20 mA; higher drive current, lower efficiency at 2 mA. | Requires redesign of current-limiting network; not qualified to AEC-Q102 or JEDEC Level 2. | Choose LTST-C171KSKT only for non-automotive, cost-sensitive consumer applications where reflow profile flexibility is needed. |
Compared with TLMO1000-GS15, TLMY1000-GS08 delivers spectrally distinct yellow output for precise color coding; versus LTST-C171KSKT, it offers automotive qualification, lower drive current optimization, and guaranteed JEDEC-compliant moisture handling - critical for industrial and transportation deployments.

FAQ
What is the forward voltage range of the TLMY1000-GS08 at its rated 2 mA drive current?
The TLMY1000-GS08 has a forward voltage range of 1.8 V to 2.6 V when operated at 2 mA DC forward current, per Vishay's optical and electrical characteristics table. This range reflects manufacturing variation and ensures compatibility with common 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level drive circuits using appropriate current-limiting resistors. The TLMY1000-GS08 maintains stable performance within this voltage window across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TLMY1000-GS08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TLMY1000-GS08 is AEC-Q102 qualified, confirming compliance with stress tests for optoelectronic components used in automotive environments - including temperature cycling, humidity exposure, and mechanical shock. This qualification makes the TLMY1000-GS08 suitable for cabin indicators, dashboard status lights, and other non-safety-critical automotive visual functions.
What is the viewing angle specification for the TLMY1000-GS08, and how is it defined?
The TLMY1000-GS08 has an extremely wide viewing angle of 160°, defined as ±80° from centerline at half-intensity (50 % of peak luminous intensity). This angular distribution is measured at 2 mA forward current and enables broad, uniform illumination without secondary optics - ideal for front-panel indicators where off-axis visibility is essential. The TLMY1000-GS08 achieves this via chip-level lens design and package geometry.
Does the TLMY1000-GS08 require special handling during PCB assembly?
Yes - the TLMY1000-GS08 is moisture-sensitive per JEDEC Level 2 and shipped in dry-packed anti-humidity bags with MSL labeling. It must be assembled within 1 year of bag opening under ≤30 °C / 60 % RH conditions, or baked per J-STD-033 if exposed beyond limits. Its IR reflow profile follows J-STD-020C with peak temperature ≤260 °C. The TLMY1000-GS08 is compatible with standard lead-free reflow processes.
What wavelength range does the TLMY1000-GS08 emit, and how is it binned?
The TLMY1000-GS08 emits yellow light with a dominant wavelength range of 580 nm to 595 nm, binned into six color groups (2–6) per Vishay's color classification table. Each reel ships only one wavelength group - no mixing - ensuring spectral consistency across production lots. The TLMY1000-GS08's 588 nm typical value places it in the mid-yellow band, distinct from orange (TLMO1000) and red (TLMS1000) variants in the same family.
