Product details
Overview
VLMF3100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount soft orange AlInGaP-on-GaAs LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 28–90 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, with dominant wavelength 598–611 nm and forward voltage 2.0–2.6 V at 20 mA - optimized for automotive dashboard backlighting and indicator applications.
For engineers reviewing the VLMF3100-GS08 datasheet, VLMF3100-GS08 pinout, VLMF3100-GS08 application, or VLMF3100-GS08 equivalent, this device offers AEC-Q101 qualification, ±60° viewing angle, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning, 2 kV ESD rating, and compatibility with IR reflow and wave soldering per J-STD-020 and CECC 00802.
Technical Context
This AlInGaP-based LED operates with low power consumption and features a non-diffused lens for efficient coupling to light pipes and LCD backlights. Its thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 400 K/W when mounted on a PCB pad >16 mm², supporting operation from –40 °C to +100 °C ambient.
The device exhibits a luminous intensity ratio ≤1.6 within one packaging unit and is binned by both intensity (M–S groups) and dominant wavelength (six color bins), ensuring consistent optical performance across reels. Reverse voltage rating is 5 V, with surge forward current capability of 100 mA for ≤10 μs pulses.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Automotive Dashboard Backlighting | Office Equipment Indicators |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Illuminating segmented symbols and analog gauge markings in vehicle instrument clusters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete visible-light emitter providing user-observable status feedback without microcontroller GPIO overhead. Use Value: Soft orange emission (598–611 nm) matches human photopic response at low ambient light, improving readability while minimizing glare. |
Use Scenario: Power-on, error, and activity status indication on printers, scanners, and multifunction devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone optical indicator driven directly from logic-level outputs or dedicated LED drivers. Use Value: ±60° viewing angle ensures visibility across wide operator angles; AEC-Q101 qualification adds long-term reliability margin beyond commercial-grade requirements. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direct-drive visual indicator requiring no external current regulation beyond series resistor. Use Value: Forward voltage range (2.0–2.6 V) allows stable operation from 3.3 V rails with minimal thermal drift; soft orange color avoids blue-light fatigue in home theater environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OSRAM LOT676 | Same soft orange dominant wavelength (598–611 nm), but rated for 25 mA max forward current vs. 30 mA for VLMF3100-GS08 | LOT676 uses different binning structure and lacks AEC-Q101 qualification | Select LOT676 only for non-automotive commercial applications where extended lifetime validation is not required |
| Vishay VLMF3100-GS18 | Identical optoelectrical specs and package; differs only in tape/reel quantity (8000 pcs vs. 1500 pcs) and reel dimensions | No functional difference - GS18 is preferred for high-volume production due to larger reel count | Choose VLMF3100-GS18 for volume procurement; VLMF3100-GS08 remains optimal for prototyping and low-MOQ builds |
Compared with OSRAM LOT676 and VLMF3100-GS18, the VLMF3100-GS08 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, JEDEC level 2a moisture sensitivity compliance, and 1500-piece reel sizing - making it the only option certified for automotive indicator use with small-batch assembly flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for the VLMF3100-GS08?
The VLMF3100-GS08 has a DC forward current rating of 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤85 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated lumen depreciation and thermal runaway. The device is typically operated at 10–20 mA for optimal lifetime and efficiency - the 30 mA rating supports short-duration pulse driving or derated operation in thermally constrained layouts.
Is the VLMF3100-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the VLMF3100-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD required for automotive electronic components. It is explicitly recommended for dashboard backlighting and switch illumination in passenger vehicles, with operating temperature range from –40 °C to +100 °C and junction temperature limit of 125 °C.
Does the VLMF3100-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
Baking is required only if the VLMF3100-GS08 reel has been opened and exposed to ambient conditions exceeding 30 °C and 60 % RH for more than 672 hours. The device is shipped in JEDEC level 2a dry-packed aluminum bags; if unopened, it may be used directly in IR reflow (peak 260 °C) without baking. Humidity indicator cards on the bag provide real-time moisture status.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMF3100-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes Vishay's standard 8 mm antistatic blister tape packaging option containing 1500 pieces per reel. It specifies tape width, cavity geometry, top tape adhesion, and reel dimensions compliant with EIA-481. This differs from GS18 (8000 pcs/reel), which shares identical electrical and optical specifications but optimizes for high-volume SMT lines.
How is luminous intensity binned for the VLMF3100-GS08?
The VLMF3100-GS08 is intensity-binned into groups M through S (e.g., group Q = 71–90 mcd), with IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within each group. Each reel ships only one intensity group - no mixing occurs. Binning is performed at 10 mA pulse test condition (25 ms duration); actual system-level intensity depends on drive current, thermal design, and optics.
