Product details
Overview
VLCS5830 from Vishay Semiconductors is a high-brightness red LED in a 5 mm untinted non-diffused package, utilizing AlInGaP-on-Si technology. It delivers luminous intensity of 24,000–65,000 mcd at 50 mA, with dominant wavelength 620–630 nm, ±4° half-intensity angle, and forward voltage 2.2–3.0 V - optimized for automotive CHMSL and outdoor signage requiring narrow-beam, high-intensity illumination.
For engineers reviewing the VLCS5830 datasheet, VLCS5830 pinout, VLCS5830 application, or VLCS5830 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 125 °C junction temperature rating, ±4° viewing angle, ESD withstand up to 2 kV, and luminous intensity binning (RR–WW groups) - all critical for reliability-critical indicator and signal lighting designs.
Technical Context
The VLCS5830 is a discrete surface-mount-compatible through-hole LED with parabolic lens geometry enabling ±4° angular emission. Its AlInGaP-on-Si die structure provides stable red emission at 624 nm typical, with spectral bandwidth of 18 nm and temperature coefficients of –2 mV/K for VF and +0.05 nm/K for dominant wavelength.
Designed for DC forward operation at ≤50 mA (derated above 85 °C), it features thermal resistance RthJA = 300 K/W and operates from –40 °C to +100 °C ambient. Reverse voltage tolerance is limited to 5 V, and surge current handling is specified at 100 mA for ≤10 μs pulses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 24,000–65,000 mcd @ 50 mA - enables high-visibility signaling at distance without optical assist |
| Dominant wavelength | 620–630 nm - meets red traffic signal and automotive stop lamp chromaticity standards |
| Viewing angle (half-intensity) | ±4° - produces collimated beam ideal for light guides and focused indicators |
| Forward voltage | 2.2–3.0 V @ 50 mA - compatible with standard 3.3 V/5 V driver rails and series-string configurations |
| Junction temperature max | 125 °C - supports under-hood and exterior vehicle mounting without active cooling |
| ESD withstand | 2 kV HBM per JESD22-A114-B - reduces handling sensitivity during assembly |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive component stress testing - required for CHMSL and exterior lighting |
Pinout & Package
VLCS5830 is a 2-terminal through-hole LED in a standard 5 mm round package with axial leads. The package features an untinted parabolic lens, 5.5 mm diameter body, and 2.54 mm lead pitch. Dimensions comply with DIN technical drawing 6.544-5310.01-4.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (longer lead) | Positive DC input terminal | Connects to current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver output; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse breakdown |
| Cathode (shorter lead) | Ground return path | Common reference for biasing; internal cathode bond wire connects directly to Si substrate for thermal conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Untinted non-diffused lens | Preserves raw AlInGaP die output without scattering - maximizes on-axis candela and beam collimation |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock - suitable for OEM exterior lighting |
| Luminous intensity binning | RR–WW groups shipped per reel - ensures consistent brightness across production batches without manual sorting |
| High junction temperature rating | 125 °C Tj - allows direct mounting on thermally demanding metal-core PCBs in sealed enclosures |
| AlInGaP-on-Si technology | Superior thermal conductivity vs. epoxy-based substrates - maintains color stability and lumen output over lifetime |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar red LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMY13R1T1 | 5 mm package, ±10° viewing angle, 12,000–28,000 mcd @ 20 mA, no AEC-Q101 rating | Lower intensity and wider beam - suited for general-purpose panel indicators, not CHMSL | Select when cost-sensitive non-automotive applications require broader illumination coverage |
| TLUR5400 | 5 mm package, ±6° viewing angle, 20,000–45,000 mcd @ 50 mA, AEC-Q101 qualified, VF = 2.0–2.4 V | Narrower than VLCS5830 but lower max intensity - better for low-VF systems with tight thermal budgets | Prefer when forward voltage headroom is constrained below 2.2 V or thermal resistance must be <250 K/W |
Compared with VLMY13R1T1 and TLUR5400, the VLCS5830 offers the highest luminous intensity and tightest beam (±4°), making it uniquely suitable for long-range automotive signaling where regulatory compliance depends on candela density - neither alternative matches its combination of AEC-Q101 validation, 65,000 mcd capability, and ultra-narrow viewing angle.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for VLCS5830?
The VLCS5830 has a DC forward current rating of 50 mA at ambient temperatures ≤85 °C. Above 85 °C, derating is required per Figure 1 in the datasheet, reaching zero permissible current at 125 °C ambient. This limit ensures junction temperature stays within the 125 °C absolute maximum, preserving long-term lumen maintenance and color stability. Always use a series resistor or constant-current driver calibrated for this rating when operating the VLCS5830.
Is VLCS5830 suitable for automotive exterior lighting applications?
Yes, the VLCS5830 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from –40 °C to +100 °C ambient, with a 125 °C maximum junction temperature. Its ±4° viewing angle, high luminous intensity (up to 65,000 mcd), and red chromaticity (620–630 nm) make it appropriate for CHMSL and other exterior signal applications. However, system-level validation per ISO 16750 and SAE J575 remains the responsibility of the end designer.
How does luminous intensity binning work for VLCS5830?
VLCS5830 is shipped in discrete luminous intensity groups (RR, SS, TT, UU, VV, WW), each covering a defined mcd range - e.g., RR = 24,000–48,000 mcd. Each reel contains only one group; mixing is prohibited to ensure batch consistency. Designers select based on required minimum intensity and system tolerance. The VLCS5830 datasheet Table "LUMINOUS INTENSITY CLASSIFICATION" defines all six groups and their boundaries for production planning.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for VLCS5830?
The VLCS5830 has a thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RthJA) of 300 K/W under standard free-air conditions. This value assumes no heatsinking and reflects the device's inherent thermal path from die to surrounding air via leads and package. For higher-power operation or elevated ambient, board-level thermal design - such as copper pour under cathode lead or forced airflow - is recommended to maintain safe junction temperature. The VLCS5830 datasheet Figure 8 shows relative intensity vs. ambient temperature dependence.
Does VLCS5830 have a diffused or clear lens?
The VLCS5830 features an untinted non-diffused parabolic lens, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet description and confirmed by its ±4° half-intensity angle. This optical design preserves the native narrow emission pattern of the AlInGaP die, delivering maximum on-axis candela without scattering. Diffused alternatives (e.g., VLCS5831) exist in the same family but are distinct part numbers - the VLCS5830 is strictly clear and non-diffused.
