Product details
Overview
TLMY3100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount yellow LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering ≥2.5 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, with dominant wavelength 581–594 nm and ±60° viewing angle-designed for indicator and backlighting applications in office equipment and LCD panels.
For engineers reviewing the TLMY3100-GS08 datasheet, TLMY3100-GS08 pinout, TLMY3100-GS08 application, or TLMY3100-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage (2.1–2.8 V @ 20 mA), low-profile PLCC-2 footprint compatibility with IR/vapor-phase soldering, non-diffused lens for light-pipe coupling, and luminous intensity binning (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per tape unit).
Technical Context
This device uses GaAsP-on-GaP epitaxial technology to achieve yellow emission with peak wavelength at 585 nm and junction capacitance of 15 pF at 0 V/1 MHz. Its thermal resistance (RthJA) is 400 K/W when mounted on a PCB with pad area >16 mm².
The TLMY3100-GS08 operates across –40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature, supports 30 mA DC forward current at Tamb ≤ 60 °C, and withstands 260 °C for 5 s during reflow-meeting CECC-compliant infrared, vapor-phase, and wave solder processes.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLMY3102-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity (6.3–20 mcd @ 10 mA) with same λd and package | Better suited for high-ambient-light environments (e.g., outdoor kiosks) where >5 mcd is required | Select TLMY3102-GS08 when brightness headroom is needed; TLMY3100-GS08 remains optimal for cost-sensitive, standard-indicator use cases |
| TLMO3100-GS08 | Soft orange emission (λd = 598–611 nm); identical IV min, VF, and package | Used where warm-color coding is specified (e.g., caution vs. warning hierarchy) | Choose TLMO3100-GS08 only when orange chromaticity is mandated; TLMY3100-GS08 provides standardized yellow for general-purpose status |
Compared with TLMY3102-GS08 and TLMO3100-GS08, the TLMY3100-GS08 offers the lowest-cost yellow option with verified luminous output for indoor indicator duty-avoiding over-specification while maintaining full compatibility with existing PLCC-2 footprints and drive circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for TLMY3100-GS08?
The TLMY3100-GS08 supports a maximum DC forward current of 30 mA when ambient temperature is ≤60 °C. Exceeding this limit risks accelerated degradation or thermal runaway. Derating is required above 60 °C per the thermal resistance (400 K/W) and power dissipation (100 mW) specifications in the Vishay datasheet.
Does TLMY3100-GS08 require a current-limiting resistor in series?
Yes, TLMY3100-GS08 requires an external current-limiting resistor to regulate forward current to ≤30 mA. For example, with a 5 V supply and typical forward voltage of 2.4 V, a 82 Ω resistor sets IF ≈ 32 mA-so a 91 Ω resistor yields ~29 mA, staying within absolute maximum ratings.
Is TLMY3100-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes, TLMY3100-GS08 is qualified for lead-free reflow up to 260 °C for 5 seconds and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements. Its e3 termination and thermoplastic package withstand standard Pb-free thermal profiles without delamination or lens discoloration.
What does "GS08" signify in TLMY3100-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging in 8 mm carrier tape, standard for automated pick-and-place assembly. Each reel contains 1000 units, with EIA-481-compliant orientation and cover tape sealing-ensuring compatibility with high-speed SMT lines.
Can TLMY3100-GS08 be used in outdoor applications?
TLMY3100-GS08 is rated for –40 °C to +100 °C operating temperature but lacks IP-rated encapsulation or UV-stabilized lens material. It is not recommended for direct outdoor exposure; use only in sealed indoor or sheltered enclosures where ambient UV and humidity are controlled.
