Product details
Overview
TLPG5600 from Vishay Semiconductors is a green 5 mm side-view LED with dominant wavelength 562–575 nm, luminous intensity 0.63–2.25 mcd at 10 mA, and forward voltage 2.4–3.0 V at 20 mA. It features ±80° viewing angle, GaP-on-GaP technology, and is rated for DC/pulse operation in industrial indicator applications.
For engineers reviewing the TLPG5600 datasheet, TLPG5600 pinout, TLPG5600 application, or TLPG5600 equivalent, this device serves as a standardized visual status indicator requiring precise color fidelity, wide-angle visibility, and stable optical output across -40 °C to +100 °C ambient conditions.
Technical Context
The TLPG5600 employs GaP-on-GaP semiconductor technology optimized for green emission with peak wavelength near 565 nm and narrow dominant wavelength binning (8 groups defined). Its side-view 5 mm package enables surface-mount-compatible board layout with horizontal light projection.
Rated for 30 mA DC forward current and 1 A surge current (tp ≤ 10 μs), it delivers thermal resistance of 400 K/W junction-to-ambient and operates up to 100 °C junction temperature. Luminous intensity is measured at 25 ms pulse width per test standard.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Color | Green - meets IEC 62471 photobiological safety classification for general lighting indicators |
| Dominant wavelength | 562–575 nm - ensures consistent green hue across production lots per Vishay's 8-bin color categorization |
| Luminous intensity | 0.63–2.25 mcd at 10 mA - calibrated for human-eye-weighted visibility in low-ambient-light panel indicators |
| Forward voltage | 2.4–3.0 V at 20 mA - compatible with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level current-limiting resistor drive |
| Viewing angle | ±80° - provides uniform illumination across wide front-panel viewing zones without secondary optics |
| Max forward current | 30 mA DC - supports sustained brightness in continuous-status applications without derating below 60 °C |
| Junction temp. max | 100 °C - enables deployment in sealed enclosures with passive heatsinking only |
Pinout & Package
TLPG5600 uses a standard 5 mm side-view plastic package with two axial leads: anode and cathode. Lead spacing is 2.54 mm (0.1 inch), body diameter 5.0 mm, and viewing direction perpendicular to lead axis.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (longer lead) | Positive terminal | Connects to current source; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse breakdown at 6 V limit |
| Cathode (shorter lead / flat side) | Negative terminal | Common return path; identifies orientation for automated placement and manual assembly |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Even luminance distribution | Diffused tinted lens ensures uniform brightness across entire emitting surface-critical for legible status indication |
| Wide viewing angle | ±80° half-intensity angle eliminates dead zones in multi-operator control panels |
| DC and pulse operation support | Validated for 25 ms pulse testing and continuous DC drive-enables both static and blinking UI modes |
| RoHS-compliant & halogen-free | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and Vishay's material compliance standard Doc. #99912 |
| Binned luminance & wavelength | Shipped in single brightness/wavelength group per bag-guarantees optical consistency within each order unit |
Applications
| Industrial Control Panels | Medical Device Status Indicators |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Front-panel power-on, fault, or mode status indication on DIN-rail mounted PLCs and HMI enclosures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Visual signaling element-no timing or logic function; driven directly by microcontroller GPIO or discrete transistor switch. Use Value: ±80° viewing angle ensures visibility across 180° operator arc; green color conveys "normal operation" per IEC 61310-1 safety coding. |
Use Scenario: Battery-charged, ready-for-use, or data-transmission-active indication on portable diagnostic instruments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive optical emitter-requires no clock, data interface, or configuration; operates under constant-current bias. Use Value: 562–575 nm dominant wavelength matches human photopic peak sensitivity for high perceived brightness at low current (10 mA). |
| Test & Measurement Equipment | Automotive Aftermarket Displays |
|
Use Scenario: Signal-path active, calibration complete, or over-range warning on benchtop multimeters and oscilloscope front panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Electro-optical transducer-converts electrical enable signal into visible green light; no internal intelligence. Use Value: 30 mA absolute max rating allows margin for transient surges during hot-plug events; 100 °C operating range supports enclosed chassis designs. |
Use Scenario: Ignition-on, CAN bus activity, or Bluetooth pairing status on vehicle infotainment retrofit modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone indicator-no protocol stack or driver IC required; direct connection to MCU output pin. Use Value: Side-view 5 mm package fits tight PCB edge clearances behind translucent bezels; RoHS/halogen-free compliance meets automotive ELV requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLPY5600 | Yellow emission (581–594 nm), identical package, same 30 mA rating, but 2.4–3.0 V VF and lower typical luminous intensity (2.25 mcd vs. 2.25 mcd) | Used where yellow conveys caution or intermediate state; not interchangeable for green-coded safety functions | Select TLPY5600 only when color-coding requires yellow per system UI specification-not as drop-in replacement |
| TLPH5600 | Red emission (612–625 nm), same package and ratings, but higher typical luminous intensity (3.5 mcd) and lower VF (2–3 V) | Preferred for high-visibility red alerts; spectral mismatch prevents substitution in green-specific regulatory contexts | Choose TLPH5600 for red-status applications only; optical and safety standards prohibit cross-color substitution |
Compared with TLPG5600, TLPY5600 offers yellow chromaticity for distinct state coding, while TLPH5600 provides higher red-output intensity-neither replicates TLPG5600's green spectral output or its IEC-aligned safety signaling role.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for TLPG5600?
The TLPG5600 is rated for 30 mA DC forward current at ambient temperatures ≤ 60 °C. At higher ambient temperatures, derating applies per Fig. 1 in the Vishay datasheet (Doc. #83043 Rev. 2.3). Exceeding 30 mA risks accelerated lumen depreciation and potential junction failure. TLPG5600 must not be operated above this limit in continuous mode without thermal analysis.
Does TLPG5600 require a current-limiting resistor, and how is it calculated?
Yes, TLPG5600 requires an external current-limiting resistor. For a 5 V supply and target 10 mA drive, use R = (5 V − VF) / 0.01 A, where VF is 2.4–3.0 V per datasheet. A 220 Ω resistor yields ~10–12 mA. TLPG5600 has no internal regulation-resistor selection directly determines optical output and thermal stress.
Is TLPG5600 compatible with reflow soldering processes?
TLPG5600 is not rated for reflow soldering. Its maximum soldering temperature is 260 °C for ≤ 5 seconds at 2 mm from the package body (per Absolute Maximum Ratings table). Hand soldering or wave soldering is recommended. Reflow exposes the epoxy lens to thermal shock and may cause delamination or color shift in TLPG5600.
What does the "G" in TLPG5600 signify per Vishay's part numbering system?
The "G" in TLPG5600 designates green color in Vishay's TLPx5600 family. The full prefix "TLP" indicates standard 5 mm LED, "5600" denotes the 5 mm side-view package, and the fourth character (R/H/Y/G) specifies color: red, red-orange, yellow, or green. TLPG5600 is therefore the green variant of this standardized indicator series.
How is luminous intensity binned for TLPG5600, and can I specify a brightness group?
TLPG5600 is binned into luminance groups (K–U) per the Luminous Intensity Classification table, with group K covering 0.63–1.25 mcd. However, Vishay ships only single-brightness-group bags-no mixing-and does not accept orders for specific groups. TLPG5600 shipments contain one pre-assigned group per bag, selected for availability; custom binning is not offered.
