Product details
Overview
TLVY4200 from Vishay Semiconductors is a yellow-tinted, non-diffused 3 mm through-hole LED optimized for backlighting applications. It delivers 10–30 mlm luminous flux at 15 mA, emits at 581–594 nm dominant wavelength, and features ±85° viewing angle-enabling uniform illumination of LCD displays, keyboard symbols, and graphic boards.
For engineers reviewing the TLVY4200 datasheet, TLVY4200 pinout, TLVY4200 application, or TLVY4200 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous flux binning (Group R), forward voltage range (2.4–3.0 V @ 20 mA), thermal resistance (400 K/W), and compatibility with standard 3 mm LED mounting and reflector-based backlighting systems.
Technical Context
The TLVY4200 uses GaAsP-on-GaP semiconductor technology to achieve stable yellow emission with low self-heating and high reliability. Its optical design centers on wide-angle radiation distribution (±85° half-intensity) and tinted clear package construction, enabling direct integration into custom reflector assemblies with optional diffuser overlays.
It operates within -40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature range, supports up to 30 mA DC forward current at ≤60 °C, and maintains junction temperature below 100 °C under rated conditions-making it suitable for industrial-grade display backlighting where thermal stability and long-term flux consistency are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous flux | 10–30 mlm @ 15 mA - defines usable brightness level for symbol/panel backlighting without excessive power draw |
| Dominant wavelength | 581–594 nm - ensures consistent yellow chromaticity across production lots for color-matched UI elements |
| Forward voltage | 2.4–3.0 V @ 20 mA - enables direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V logic rails with minimal series resistance |
| Viewing angle | ±85° - provides broad, even illumination coverage ideal for large-area backlighting without secondary optics |
| Thermal resistance | 400 K/W - limits junction-to-ambient temperature rise to ~12 °C at 20 mA, supporting reliable operation in sealed enclosures |
| Ambient temp range | -40 to +100 °C - qualifies for use in automotive dashboards, industrial HMIs, and outdoor instrumentation |
| Max forward current | 30 mA @ Tamb ≤ 60 °C - sets safe continuous drive limit for sustained backlight operation |
Pinout & Package
TLVY4200 is housed in a standard Ø3 mm radial-leaded, tinted non-diffused package with cathode-indicating flat edge and 2.54 mm lead pitch. Package dimensions: 4.6 ± 0.3 mm height, Ø3.4 ± 0.15 mm body, 33.08 ± 0.5 mm lead length.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (longer lead) | Positive supply connection | Accepts 2.4–3.0 V forward bias; requires current-limiting resistor for constant-current operation |
| Cathode (shorter lead, flat side) | Ground reference | Identified by physical flat on package body; must be connected to circuit common for proper conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide viewing angle | ±85° half-intensity enables single-LED coverage of 20–30 mm² areas without reflector redesign |
| Tinted clear package | Preserves spectral purity and improves contrast in ambient-light environments versus diffused LEDs |
| Categorized luminous flux | Shipped in Group R (10–20 mlm) bins - ensures predictable brightness matching across production batches |
| Low power dissipation | 90 mW max power rating allows operation at 20 mA from 3.3 V with <100 mW total system overhead |
| Rugged mechanical design | 400 K/W thermal resistance and -55 to +100 °C storage rating support reflow and wave soldering processes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED backlighting applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH4200 | Red emission (612–625 nm), higher luminous flux (10–55 mlm) | Better suited for red-alert indicators or dual-color status panels requiring color differentiation | Select when red chromaticity and higher brightness are required; same package and drive conditions apply |
| TLVG4200 | Green emission (562–575 nm), identical flux and voltage specs | Preferred for energy-efficient green indicators or ISO-compliant safety lighting where green denotes "ready" or "active" | Choose for green backlighting with identical thermal and mechanical footprint; no PCB changes needed |
Compared with TLVY4200, TLVH4200 offers higher luminous output and red spectral output for alert functions, while TLVG4200 matches all electrical parameters but shifts chromaticity to green-enabling color-coded UI design without altering layout or drive circuitry.

FAQ
What is the dominant wavelength range of the TLVY4200?
The TLVY4200 has a dominant wavelength range of 581–594 nm, measured at 10 mA forward current. This yellow spectral band ensures consistent color rendering for UI elements and status indicators. The TLVY4200's wavelength binning supports reliable color matching across production lots without post-assembly sorting.
What is the maximum continuous forward current for TLVY4200?
The TLVY4200 supports a maximum DC forward current of 30 mA when ambient temperature remains at or below 60 °C. At higher temperatures, derating is required to maintain junction temperature ≤100 °C. The TLVY4200's thermal resistance of 400 K/W enables stable operation in enclosed or thermally constrained environments.
How is luminous flux categorized for TLVY4200?
The TLVY4200 is categorized in Luminous Flux Group R (10–20 mlm), per Vishay's internal binning standard. Each shipment contains only one flux group per bag-no mixing-and Group R ensures predictable brightness for backlighting consistency. The TLVY4200's typical output is 30 mlm at 15 mA, falling within this qualified range.
Does TLVY4200 require external optics for backlighting?
The TLVY4200 is designed for use with custom-built reflectors featuring scattering surfaces, and its ±85° viewing angle enables broad illumination without mandatory secondary optics. While diffuser material may enhance uniformity, the TLVY4200's tinted clear package delivers usable light output directly-making it suitable for both reflector-coupled and light-guide-based backlighting architectures.
What package type and lead configuration does TLVY4200 use?
The TLVY4200 uses a Ø3 mm radial-leaded, tinted non-diffused package with 2.54 mm lead spacing. The anode is the longer lead; the cathode is identified by a flat edge on the package body. This standardized through-hole format supports automated insertion and wave soldering, and the TLVY4200's mechanical dimensions match industry-standard 3 mm LED footprints.
