Product details
Overview
TLUV5300 from Vishay Semiconductors is a bicolor LED in a 5 mm untinted diffused package with common cathode configuration, red/green dual-emitting diodes, ±30° viewing angle, 2.5 mcd typical luminous intensity at 10 mA per color, and GaAsP-on-GaP technology - used for panel status indication in industrial HMIs and instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TLUV5300 datasheet, TLUV5300 pinout, TLUV5300 application, or TLUV5300 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage matching (2.0–3.0 V red / 2.4–3.0 V green), common-cathode terminal arrangement, luminous intensity binning, and thermal resistance (RthJA = 300 K/W total) for reliable DC or pulsed operation in compact enclosures.
Technical Context
The TLUV5300 integrates two monolithic GaAsP-on-GaP die in a single 5 mm radial-leaded package with electrically isolated anodes and a shared cathode. Each diode operates independently with separate forward voltage and wavelength characteristics: red (λd = 612–625 nm, VF = 2–3 V @ 20 mA) and green (λd = 552–575 nm, VF = 2.4–3 V @ 20 mA).
It supports both DC and pulsed operation up to 1 A surge current (tp ≤ 10 μs), with absolute maximum ratings including 30 mA DC forward current per diode, 6 V reverse voltage, and 100 mW per-diode power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 55 °C. Total power dissipation is rated at 150 mW with junction temperature limited to 100 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 2.5 mcd typical per color at 10 mA - enables clear visibility in low-ambient-light control panels without excessive current draw |
| Dominant wavelength | Red: 612–625 nm; Green: 552–575 nm - ensures distinct, industry-standard color separation for unambiguous status signaling |
| Forward voltage | Red: 2–3 V; Green: 2.4–3 V at 20 mA - requires separate current-limiting resistors per anode for balanced brightness |
| Viewing angle | ±30° half-intensity - provides wide, uniform illumination across front-panel interfaces without hotspots |
| Thermal resistance | RthJA = 300 K/W (total) - limits junction temperature rise to ~30 °C above ambient at full 150 mW dissipation |
| Absolute max current | 30 mA DC per diode - defines safe continuous drive level; pulsed operation allows 1 A peak for <10 μs |
| Package | 5 mm radial-leaded, untinted diffused - standard through-hole footprint compatible with legacy PCB layouts and manual assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5 mm radial-leaded, untinted diffused epoxy housing with common cathode configuration. Leads are tin-plated copper alloy; body diameter 5.0 ± 0.2 mm, lead length ≥ 18 mm, lead spacing 2.54 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 (A1) | Red LED anode | Connects to red emitter; requires independent current limiting for precise brightness control |
| Anode 2 (A2) | Green LED anode | Connects to green emitter; enables independent on/off or PWM dimming of each color |
| Cathode (K) | Common cathode | Shared return path for both diodes; simplifies PCB routing and driver design in dual-color indicator circuits |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Separate anode terminals | Enables independent control of red and green emission - essential for bi-state (OK/ERROR) or tristate (READY/RUNNING/ALERT) visual feedback |
| Even luminance distribution | Diffused lens ensures uniform brightness across entire emitting surface - eliminates glare and improves readability at oblique angles |
| Luminous intensity binning | IVmin/IVmax ≤ 0.5 within one packing unit - guarantees consistent brightness across LEDs in multi-unit panel installations |
| Wide operating temperature | -40 °C to +100 °C ambient range - supports deployment in industrial environments including factory floors and outdoor enclosures |
| Flush-mount capability | Low-profile 5 mm package with flat top - allows direct mounting into panel cutouts without bezel or recess, reducing mechanical assembly steps |
Applications
| Industrial HMI Status Indicator | Test Equipment Power-On Verification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Front-panel LED on programmable logic controller (PLC) interface showing RUN/STOP state via red/green switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bicolor visual indicator providing real-time operational mode feedback with no active logic required. Use Value: Common-cathode architecture simplifies microcontroller GPIO usage - only two output pins needed to drive both colors independently. |
Use Scenario: Power-up confirmation LED on benchtop multimeter or oscilloscope, lighting green on stable supply and red during fault conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-color status emitter directly driven by power supervisor or reset IC outputs. Use Value: ±30° viewing angle ensures visibility from multiple operator positions; untinted diffused lens prevents color distortion under varied lighting. |
| Medical Device Mode Indicator | Automated Test Fixture Ready Light |
Use Scenario: Patient monitor displaying standby (red) vs. active monitoring (green) mode on front bezel. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power visual status element interfaced to microcontroller I/O with minimal external components. Use Value: 2.5 mcd typical intensity at 10 mA meets IEC 60601-1 visibility requirements while minimizing current draw from battery-backed systems. |
Use Scenario: "Fixture Ready" light on semiconductor handler or board tester, illuminating green when calibration is complete and red during self-test. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-color indicator tied to FPGA or CPLD status registers for immediate visual pass/fail reporting. Use Value: GaAsP-on-GaP technology ensures stable wavelength and intensity over 10,000+ hours - critical for high-volume production test environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bicolor LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lite-On LTST-C150KGKT | Surface-mount 0805 package; green/red wavelengths 570/630 nm; 30 mcd typical intensity at 20 mA | Requires SMT reflow process and PCB redesign; higher intensity suits brighter ambient environments | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where through-hole mounting is impractical |
| Vishay TLHR5400 | Same 5 mm package but red-only; 3.5 mcd typical at 10 mA; λd = 625 nm; common cathode | Lacks green channel - suitable only for single-state indication or paired with discrete green LED | Use when system requires only red indication or when green is implemented separately for intensity tuning |
Compared with TLUV5300, LTST-C150KGKT offers higher intensity and SMT compatibility but sacrifices through-hole serviceability and exact wavelength match, while TLHR5400 provides higher red output but eliminates dual-color functionality - TLUV5300 remains optimal for cost-sensitive, field-serviceable dual-status indicators requiring matched red/green optics in legacy designs.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of the TLUV5300?
The TLUV5300 uses a three-lead common-cathode configuration: Lead 1 is Anode 1 (red), Lead 2 is Cathode (shared), and Lead 3 is Anode 2 (green). This arrangement is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 1.8 and matches the mechanical drawing in document 83056. The TLUV5300 must be mounted with correct anode polarity to avoid reverse-bias damage to either diode.
Can the TLUV5300 be driven with PWM for brightness control?
Yes, the TLUV5300 supports pulsed operation with tp ≤ 10 μs and peak current up to 1 A, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings. For standard PWM dimming, use duty cycles ≤ 50 % and frequencies > 100 Hz to avoid visible flicker. The TLUV5300's GaAsP-on-GaP die exhibits stable luminance response across pulse widths, making it suitable for microcontroller-driven brightness adjustment without color shift.
What is the maximum ambient temperature for continuous operation of the TLUV5300?
The TLUV5300 is rated for continuous operation from -40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature. At +100 °C, derating applies: maximum DC forward current drops to 15 mA per diode to maintain junction temperature ≤ 100 °C. The TLUV5300's RthJA of 300 K/W and 150 mW total power rating define this thermal envelope, validated per Vishay's thermal characterization in document 83056.
Does the TLUV5300 require current-limiting resistors?
Yes, the TLUV5300 requires individual current-limiting resistors for each anode (A1 and A2), due to differing forward voltage curves: red diode VF = 2–3 V and green diode VF = 2.4–3 V at 20 mA. Using a single resistor on the common cathode would cause unequal current distribution and inconsistent brightness. The TLUV5300's design assumes discrete resistor placement per anode for accurate color balance.
How is luminous intensity binned for the TLUV5300?
The TLUV5300 is categorized such that IVmin/IVmax ≤ 0.5 within one packing unit, ensuring tight luminance matching across LEDs in the same reel or tube. This binning is applied per color channel and verified at 10 mA drive current. The TLUV5300's specification sheet (document 83056) confirms this tolerance applies to both red and green emitters, supporting uniform appearance in multi-LED arrays.
