Overview
VLMG3100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a green surface-mount LED in PLCC-2 package, with dominant wavelength 562–575 nm, luminous intensity 4.5–16 mcd at 10 mA, forward voltage 2.1–2.8 V at 20 mA, and ±60° viewing angle. It serves as an indicator or backlight in compact consumer and industrial displays.
For engineers reviewing the VLMG3100-GS08 datasheet, VLMG3100-GS08 pinout, VLMG3100-GS08 application, or VLMG3100-GS08 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical, electrical, thermal, and packaging data - including JEDEC level 2a preconditioning compliance, 8 mm tape packaging, and GaP-on-GaP chip technology - to support SMT placement, backlight design, and brightness binning decisions.
Technical Context
The VLMG3100-GS08 uses a GaP-on-GaP semiconductor structure optimized for high-efficiency green emission. Its PLCC-2 package features a white thermoplastic body with clear epoxy lens and integrated reflector, enabling non-diffused light output ideal for light-pipe coupling and uniform LCD backlighting.
It operates within -40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature range, supports IR/vapor-phase/wave soldering per J-STD-020 and CECC 00802, and maintains luminous intensity ratio IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within each reel - ensuring consistent brightness across production batches.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar green LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LGT670K1M2 (Vishay) | Same PLCC-2 package, identical optical specs, but shipped in GS18 tape (8000 pcs/reel) | Higher volume reels reduce per-unit handling cost in high-throughput SMT lines | Select LGT670K1M2 when optimizing for production scale and tape replenishment frequency |

FAQ
What is the dominant wavelength range of the VLMG3100-GS08?
The VLMG3100-GS08 has a dominant wavelength range of 562 nm to 575 nm, measured at 10 mA forward current. This places its output firmly in the green portion of the visible spectrum, with peak wavelength at 565 nm. The specification ensures color consistency across production lots and supports applications requiring standardized green signaling per IEC or ANSI guidelines. All VLMG3100-GS08 units meet this range as verified in factory binning.
Can the VLMG3100-GS08 be used in reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the VLMG3100-GS08 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C for up to 10 seconds. It is preconditioned to JEDEC level 2a, meaning it can withstand standard SMT reflow profiles without popcorn failure - provided the sealed dry bag is opened and used within 672 hours at ≤30 °C/60% RH. The VLMG3100-GS08 datasheet specifies full thermal derating curves for ambient temperature vs. forward current.
What is the maximum continuous forward current for the VLMG3100-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for the VLMG3100-GS08 is 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤74 °C. At higher ambient temperatures, the permissible current must be reduced linearly per the derating curve in Figure 1 of the datasheet. Exceeding 20 mA risks accelerated degradation and irreversible luminous flux loss. The VLMG3100-GS08 achieves its rated 4.5–16 mcd intensity at only 10 mA, allowing significant design margin for reliability.
Does the VLMG3100-GS08 have a diffused or non-diffused lens?
The VLMG3100-GS08 features a non-diffused lens, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of its Vishay datasheet. This optical design preserves beam collimation and maximizes coupling efficiency into light guides and edge-lit LCD backlights. Unlike diffused LEDs that scatter light broadly, the VLMG3100-GS08's clear epoxy lens delivers directional output with ±60° half-intensity angle - critical for applications requiring focused illumination without secondary optics.
How many units of VLMG3100-GS08 are supplied per reel?
The VLMG3100-GS08 is supplied in 8 mm antistatic blister tape per EIA-481 standard, with 1500 pieces per reel (GS08 tape option). This quantity balances flexibility for low-volume builds and prototyping with efficient SMT feeder loading. Reels include JEDEC level 2a moisture sensitivity labeling, bar-coded Vishay standard labels, and dry-packaging with humidity indicator cards - all documented in the VLMG3100-GS08 datasheet revision 2.6.
