Product details
Overview
VLME3100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a high-intensity yellow surface-mount LED based on AlInGaP-on-GaAs technology, housed in a PLCC-2 package with ±60° viewing angle, 28–75 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, and 2.0–2.6 V forward voltage at 20 mA. It serves as an indicator or backlighting source in automotive dashboards, telecom equipment, and LCD interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the VLME3100-GS08 datasheet, VLME3100-GS08 pinout, VLME3100-GS08 application, or VLME3100-GS08 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical, electrical, thermal, and packaging data - including AEC-Q101 qualification, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning, and IR reflow compatibility - to support reliable SMD integration and brightness-bin-aware BOM planning.
Technical Context
The VLME3100-GS08 uses AlInGaP-on-GaAs die technology to deliver stable yellow emission (581–594 nm dominant wavelength) with low thermal resistance (400 K/W junction-to-ambient) when mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB pads. Its non-diffused lens enables efficient coupling to light pipes and uniform flat backlighting.
Designed for automated placement and lead-free reflow per J-STD-020C (peak 260 °C), it supports pulse-driven operation (25 ms test pulses) and maintains luminous intensity ratio ≤1.6 within a reel. Reverse voltage rating is 5 V, with 30 mA DC forward current limit and 125 °C max junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 28–75 mcd at 10 mA - defines visible brightness range for indicator visibility under standard ambient conditions |
| Dominant wavelength | 581–594 nm - ensures consistent yellow chromaticity across production bins for color-critical UIs |
| Forward voltage | 2.0–2.6 V at 20 mA - determines series resistor sizing and power budget in constant-current drive circuits |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination suitable for panel backlighting and symbol indication |
| Junction temp. max | +125 °C - sets thermal derating limits for continuous operation in automotive or industrial enclosures |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Yes - validates reliability for automotive-grade applications including dashboard and switch backlighting |
| Thermal resistance | 400 K/W - requires ≥16 mm² copper pad for safe thermal dissipation at rated current |
Pinout & Package
The VLME3100-GS08 is housed in a 2-pin PLCC-2 surface-mount package (equivalent footprint to size B tantalum capacitor), with cathode and anode terminals identified by physical asymmetry and polarity marking on the white thermoplastic body. The non-diffused lens and internal reflector optimize directional light output.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive terminal | Connected to constant-current source or series resistor; must be biased >2.0 V above cathode for conduction |
| Cathode (K) | Negative terminal | Typically tied to ground or current-sink driver; reverse voltage limited to 5 V maximum |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables precise optical coupling to light guides and backlights without scattering loss |
| Luminous intensity binning | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel - ensures consistent brightness across assembled units without post-production sorting |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates robustness for automotive interior lighting under temperature cycling, humidity, and vibration stress |
| JEDEC level 2a preconditioning | Confirms moisture sensitivity compliance for lead-free reflow without popcorning or delamination |
| PLCC-2 EIA/ICE standard footprint | Ensures compatibility with automated pick-and-place systems and industry-standard solder stencil designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar yellow SMD LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OSRAM LYT676 | Same yellow AlInGaP technology; dominant wavelength 585–595 nm; luminous intensity 30–80 mcd at 10 mA | Identical PLCC-2 footprint but different binning structure and tape packaging (GS18 vs GS08) | Drop-in replacement for optical performance; verify reel quantity (1500 vs 8000 pcs) and moisture sensitivity labeling |
| Vishay VLMY3300-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity (100–250 mcd); same PLCC-2 package; 585–595 nm dominant wavelength; AEC-Q101 qualified | Targeted at high-brightness applications requiring greater visibility in ambient light | Select when >75 mcd minimum intensity is required; otherwise VLME3100-GS08 offers better cost-efficiency for standard indicators |
Compared with OSRAM LYT676 and Vishay VLMY3300-GS08, the VLME3100-GS08 delivers optimized cost-performance balance for mid-brightness automotive and telecom indicators, with tighter binning control and proven reflow compatibility in high-volume manufacturing.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLME3100-GS08?
The VLME3100-GS08 has a DC forward current rating of 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤85 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated degradation and thermal runaway. For pulsed operation, surge current up to 100 mA is allowed only for durations ≤10 μs, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings table of the official Vishay datasheet (Doc. #81231, Rev. 1.8).
Is VLME3100-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLME3100-GS08 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020C, supporting peak package body temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. The device undergoes JEDEC level 2a preconditioning and is qualified for IR reflow, vapor-phase, and wave soldering - all confirmed in Vishay's official documentation (Rev. 1.8, Sep 2022).
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLME3100-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes Vishay's standard 8 mm antistatic blister tape packaging option 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) standards. GS08 also indicates moisture-sensitive packaging with JESD22-A112 level 2a labeling.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLME3100-GS08, and why does it matter?
VLME3100-GS08 is binned into luminous intensity groups (N–S) with IVmax/IVmin ≤1.6 per reel, ensuring brightness consistency across all units on a single tape. This eliminates post-assembly sorting and guarantees uniform appearance in multi-LED arrays - critical for automotive dashboards and professional audio equipment where visual matching is essential.
Does VLME3100-GS08 require special handling due to moisture sensitivity?
Yes, VLME3100-GS08 is moisture-sensitive per JEDEC level 2a and shipped in dry-packed aluminum bags with humidity indicator cards. After opening, it must be mounted within 672 hours at <30 °C/60 % RH or stored in a dry box (<10 % RH). If exposed beyond limits, baking at 40 °C/192 h or 60 °C/96 h is required before reflow - details are in the Vishay packaging section (Doc. #81231, p.7).
