Product details
Overview
VLMD3100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a red surface-mount LED in PLCC-2 package, featuring 11.2–22 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, 648 nm dominant wavelength, ±60° viewing angle, and 1.8–2.2 V forward voltage at 20 mA. It is GaAlAs-on-GaAs technology, AEC-Q101 qualified, and designed for automotive dashboard backlighting and indicator applications requiring narrow brightness binning.
For engineers reviewing the VLMD3100-GS08 datasheet, VLMD3100-GS08 pinout, VLMD3100-GS08 application, or VLMD3100-GS08 equivalent, this device supports IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020, offers JEDEC level 2a preconditioning, delivers low-profile non-diffused lens performance for light-pipe coupling, and maintains luminous intensity ratio ≤1.6 within reel packaging units.
Technical Context
This red SMD LED uses GaAlAs-on-GaAs epitaxial structure to achieve stable 648 nm dominant wavelength with 0.05 nm/K temperature coefficient. Its PLCC-2 package integrates a white thermoplastic lead frame and clear epoxy-filled reflector, enabling high thermal resistance (400 K/W) and operation from –40 °C to +100 °C ambient.
Designed for narrow-binning applications, the VLMD3100-GS08 is categorized in luminous intensity group L (11.2–14 mcd min–max), with IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel. It supports surge forward current up to 0.5 A (tp ≤ 10 μs) and reverse voltage tolerance of 6 V, meeting CECC 00802 and AEC-Q101 reliability requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar red SMD LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMD3105-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity bin (11.2–28 mcd vs. 11.2–22 mcd); same package, wavelength, and electrical specs | Suitable where higher minimum brightness is required for outdoor-readable interfaces | Select when tighter upper-bound intensity control is needed without changing layout or drive circuitry |
| OSRAM LHT674-L2N1 | Same luminous intensity bin (L2), 645–650 nm wavelength range, PLCC-2 package, but different thermal resistance (350 K/W) | Used in industrial HMIs where alternate supply-chain sourcing is mandated | Choose for dual-sourcing where OSRAM qualification is required; verify thermal margin with RthJA = 350 K/W |
Compared with VLMD3100-GS08, VLMD3105-GS08 offers higher intensity headroom while maintaining identical footprint and drive requirements, whereas LHT674-L2N1 provides cross-manufacturer compatibility at the cost of slightly different thermal performance and qualification scope.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for VLMD3100-GS08?
The VLMD3100-GS08 has a maximum DC forward current of 30 mA when ambient temperature is ≤60 °C. At higher temperatures, derating is required per Fig. 1 in the datasheet; for example, at 85 °C ambient, the permissible IF drops to approximately 18 mA. This rating ensures reliable operation without junction overheating under typical PCB thermal conditions.
Does VLMD3100-GS08 support lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMD3100-GS08 is qualified for Pb-free IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with a peak package body temperature limit of 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. The recommended profile includes ramp rates ≤3 °C/s (up) and ≤6 °C/s (down), and time above 217 °C limited to 30–120 s. This enables compatibility with standard SMT lines using SAC305 or similar alloys.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMD3100-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes Vishay's tape-and-reel packaging option: 8 mm antistatic blister tape containing 7500 devices per reel (5 × 1500). This format is optimized for high-speed automated placement equipment and complies with DIN IEC 40 (CO) 564. GS08 differs from GS18 (8000/reel) in reel quantity and physical dimensions, but both share identical electrical and optical specifications for VLMD3100-GS08.
Is VLMD3100-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, VLMD3100-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use, supporting applications such as dashboard backlighting and switch illumination. It operates across –40 °C to +100 °C ambient, meets JEDEC level 2a moisture sensitivity requirements, and exhibits low temperature coefficients for wavelength (0.05 nm/K) and forward voltage (–1.8 mV/K), ensuring stable optical performance over vehicle operating ranges.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMD3100-GS08, and why does it matter?
VLMD3100-GS08 is binned in luminous intensity group L (11.2–14 mcd min–max), with IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel. This tight binning ensures consistent brightness across all devices on a single reel, eliminating post-assembly brightness matching and reducing yield loss in high-volume indicator assemblies where visual uniformity is critical.
