Product details
Overview
VLMG3102-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a green surface-mount LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 11.2–18 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, with dominant wavelength 562–575 nm and ±60° viewing angle - optimized for indicator and backlighting applications in office equipment and LCD panels.
For engineers reviewing the VLMG3102-GS08 datasheet, VLMG3102-GS08 pinout, VLMG3102-GS08 application, or VLMG3102-GS08 equivalent, this device requires attention to forward voltage (2.1–2.8 V @ 20 mA), thermal resistance (400 K/W), luminous intensity binning (Group K), and JEDEC Level 2a moisture sensitivity handling prior to reflow.
Technical Context
The VLMG3102-GS08 uses GaP-on-GaP semiconductor technology to emit green light with peak wavelength at 565 nm and dominant wavelength tightly binned between 562 nm and 575 nm. Its non-diffused lens enables efficient coupling to light pipes and uniform flat backlighting.
Rated for DC forward current up to 20 mA (Tamb ≤ 74 °C) and reverse voltage up to 6 V, it operates across -40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature range and exhibits junction capacitance of 15 pF at 0 V and 1 MHz - supporting stable high-frequency switching in indicator circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 11.2–18 mcd @ 10 mA - ensures high-visibility indication without excessive drive current |
| Dominant wavelength | 562–575 nm - defines precise green color point compliant with visual signaling standards |
| Forward voltage | 2.1–2.8 V @ 20 mA - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-supplied current-limiting resistor designs |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination for panel-level indicators and edge-lit backlighting |
| Thermal resistance | 400 K/W (junction-to-ambient, mounted on >16 mm² pad) - dictates PCB copper area requirements for thermal management |
| Moisture sensitivity | JEDEC Level 2a - mandates dry-pack storage and ≤672 h factory floor exposure before reflow |
| Package | PLCC-2 (3.5 × 2.8 mm, 1.75 mm height) - standard EIA-compliant SMD footprint for automated placement |
Pinout & Package
PLCC-2 package with two terminals: anode and cathode. Molded white thermoplastic body with internal reflector and clear epoxy lens. Low-profile construction (1.75 mm max height) supports space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive LED terminal | Connected to current source or microcontroller GPIO via series resistor; polarity must be observed during placement |
| Cathode (K) | Ground/negative LED terminal | Typically tied to PCB ground plane; serves as reference for forward bias and thermal path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables direct coupling to light guides and achieves uniform brightness in thin backlight assemblies |
| Luminous intensity ratio ≤ 1.6 | Ensures consistent brightness across LEDs on same reel - critical for uniform panel appearance |
| Compatible with IR/vapor-phase/wave soldering | Supports standard CECC 00802 and J-STD-020 processes without degradation |
| Low power consumption | Operates at 20 mA max with <56 mW total dissipation - suitable for battery-powered indicators |
| EIA/ICE standard package | Guarantees compatibility with industry-standard pick-and-place nozzles and tape feeders |

Use Value: Luminous intensity binning (Group K) ensures consistent brightness across all keys without manual sorting. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar green LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMG3100-GS08 | Lower luminous intensity (4.5–16 mcd @ 10 mA); same wavelength and package | Suitable where lower brightness suffices and cost optimization is prioritized | Select when design tolerates reduced visibility or requires wider intensity margin |
| VLMG3105-GS08 | Identical luminous intensity range (7.1–18 mcd @ 10 mA) but different binning group (L vs. K) | Offers alternate intensity distribution within same optical envelope | Choose when Group L binning aligns better with production yield or brightness matching needs |
Compared with VLMG3102-GS08, VLMG3100-GS08 reduces visible output by ~50 % at same drive current, while VLMG3105-GS08 maintains identical max intensity but shifts typical value downward - both retain full compatibility with PLCC-2 layout and thermal design.

FAQ
What is the forward voltage range for VLMG3102-GS08 at rated current?
The VLMG3102-GS08 has a forward voltage range of 2.1 V to 2.8 V when driven at 20 mA, per its optical and electrical characteristics table. This range reflects process variation across production lots and must be accounted for in current-limiting resistor selection to ensure stable luminous output and avoid overcurrent under low-VF units.
How does the luminous intensity binning of VLMG3102-GS08 affect design?
VLMG3102-GS08 belongs to Group K (7.1–11.2 mcd min–typ, 11.2–18 mcd typ–max), ensuring tight brightness consistency within each reel. This eliminates post-production sorting for uniform panel indicators and simplifies brightness calibration in multi-LED arrays - a key advantage over non-binned alternatives like VLMG3100-GS08.
Is VLMG3102-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, VLMG3102-GS08 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with a peak package body temperature limit of 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. Its PLCC-2 package withstands the full Vishay-recommended Pb-free profile, including ramp rates up to 3 °C/s and time above liquidus of 30–120 s.
What is the maximum allowable DC forward current for VLMG3102-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMG3102-GS08 is 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤74 °C. Exceeding this rating risks accelerated lumen depreciation and potential junction failure. Derating is required above 74 °C, per Figure 1 in the datasheet, which shows permissible current dropping to ~12 mA at 100 °C ambient.
Does VLMG3102-GS08 require special handling due to moisture sensitivity?
Yes, VLMG3102-GS08 is classified JEDEC Level 2a and shipped in dry-packed aluminum bags with humidity indicator cards. Once opened, it must be mounted within 672 hours at ≤30 °C / 60 % RH or stored in <10 % RH dry boxes. Failure to comply risks popcorning during reflow due to internal vapor pressure buildup.
