Product details
Overview
VLMG3105-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a green surface-mount LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 7.1–18 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, with dominant wavelength 562–575 nm and ±60° viewing angle-designed for indicator and backlighting applications in office equipment and LCD panels.
For engineers reviewing the VLMG3105-GS08 datasheet, VLMG3105-GS08 pinout, VLMG3105-GS08 application, or VLMG3105-GS08 equivalent, this page provides verified optical/electrical specs, SMD placement compatibility, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning status, thermal resistance (400 K/W), and tape-and-reel packaging details (GS08 = 1500 pcs/reel).
Technical Context
The VLMG3105-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 PLCC-2 package features a white thermoplastic body with clear epoxy lens and integrated reflector for directional output.
It operates within -40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature range, supports IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020, and maintains luminous intensity ratio IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within each tape unit-enabling consistent brightness across assembled units without bin-mixing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 7.1–18 mcd at 10 mA - ensures visibility in low-ambient-light indicators and backlighting without excessive power draw |
| Dominant wavelength | 562–575 nm - defines precise green chromaticity compliant with display and signaling color standards |
| Forward voltage | 2.1–2.8 V at 20 mA - compatible with standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic-supplied LED drivers |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination suitable for panel indicators and edge-lit symbols |
| Absolute max forward current | 20 mA continuous - sets safe DC drive limit for long-term reliability in industrial-grade designs |
| Junction-to-ambient Rth | 400 K/W on >16 mm² PCB pad - informs thermal layout requirements for sustained operation at rated current |
| Reverse voltage rating | 6 V - defines maximum allowable reverse bias during multiplexed or AC-coupled driving schemes |
Pinout & Package
PLCC-2 package: 2-pin surface-mount device with cathode/anode terminals; low-profile (2.2 mm height), non-diffused lens optimized for light-pipe coupling and flat backlighting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive terminal | Connected to current source or driver high-side; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse-bias damage |
| Cathode (K) | Negative terminal | Connected to ground or driver low-side; marking dot on package identifies cathode side |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables efficient coupling into light pipes and edge-lit LCD backlights without scattering loss |
| Luminous intensity ratio ≤ 1.6 | Ensures consistent brightness across all LEDs on a single reel-eliminates manual bin sorting in production |
| JEDEC level 2a preconditioning | Qualifies for standard SMT reflow processes without pre-baking when stored properly (<672 h at <30°C/60% RH) |
| EIA/ICE standard PLCC-2 footprint | Guarantees compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment and industry-standard stencil designs |
| Low power consumption | 20 mA max rating at 2.8 V enables battery-operated or energy-sensitive applications (e.g., portable office devices) |
Applications
| Office Equipment Indicators | LCD Panel Backlighting |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Status indication on printers, scanners, and multifunction peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Visual feedback LED driven by microcontroller GPIO or dedicated LED driver IC. Use Value: High-intensity green output (7.1–18 mcd) ensures legibility under varied lighting conditions without increasing system power budget. |
Use Scenario: Edge-lit backlight for monochrome or segmented LCD displays in copiers and fax machines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Light source coupled to light guide; driven continuously or PWM-modulated for brightness control. Use Value: ±60° viewing angle and non-diffused lens maximize light transfer efficiency into light pipe geometry. |
| Audio/Video Equipment Controls | Telecom Device Signaling |
Use Scenario: Power-on, mute, and input-select indicators on AV receivers and soundbars. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direct GPIO-driven indicator; may be pulsed for attention-grabbing effects. Use Value: Tight dominant wavelength (562–575 nm) delivers consistent green hue across production batches-critical for brand-aligned UI design. |
Use Scenario: Line-status and message-waiting indicators on VoIP phones and fax terminals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-current (10 mA) visible indicator integrated into analog or digital signal path monitoring circuits. Use Value: 20 mA absolute max rating and 400 K/W thermal resistance support reliable operation in enclosed telecom enclosures up to +100°C ambient. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar green LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMG3102-GS08 | Higher typical luminous intensity (16 mcd vs. 16 mcd), same min/max range (11.2–18 mcd) | Preferred where higher brightness is required without changing drive current or optics | Select VLMG3102-GS08 if design requires top-bin intensity; VLMG3105-GS08 offers mid-bin consistency for cost-sensitive volume builds |
| LGT671K1L2 (OSRAM) | Same dominant wavelength range (565–575 nm), but lower typical intensity (10 mcd) and different package thermal profile | Valid alternative where OSRAM supply chain alignment is prioritized over Vishay-specific tape/reel logistics | Choose LGT671K1L2 only after validating solder profile compatibility and photometric match in final assembly |
Compared with VLMG3105-GS08, VLMG3102-GS08 delivers identical optical specs with tighter intensity targeting, while LGT671K1L2 offers cross-manufacturer sourcing flexibility at the cost of recalibrating brightness thresholds and thermal layout assumptions.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for VLMG3105-GS08?
The VLMG3105-GS08 has a maximum DC forward current of 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤ 74 °C. Exceeding this rating risks accelerated degradation and reduced lifetime. Derating is required above 74 °C per the datasheet's IF vs. Tamb curve-e.g., ~12 mA at 100 °C ambient. Always reference the absolute maximum ratings table in the official Vishay document 84789 when designing thermal management.
Does VLMG3105-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
VLMG3105-GS08 is preconditioned to JEDEC level 2a and does not require baking if used within 672 hours of opening the dry bag under ≤30 °C/60 % RH storage. If exposed beyond that window or to higher humidity, baking per JESD22-A112 (e.g., 96 h at 60 °C/<5 % RH) is mandatory prior to reflow. The aluminum moisture barrier bag includes a level 2a label confirming compliance.
What does the "GS08" suffix mean in VLMG3105-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix indicates an 8 mm antistatic blister tape format containing 1500 pieces per reel, compliant with DIN IEC 40 (CO) 564. This packaging supports high-speed automated placement and is optimized for infrared reflow and vapor-phase soldering. GS18 (8000 pcs/reel) is also available but GS08 is standard for prototyping and medium-volume production.
Is VLMG3105-GS08 RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, VLMG3105-GS08 is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, as confirmed by Vishay's environmental documentation (www.vishay.com/doc?99912). The device carries standard Vishay environmental symbols on its bar code label-including RoHS, lead (Pb)-free, and halogen-free markings-and meets JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 for moisture sensitivity.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMG3105-GS08?
VLMG3105-GS08 is binned to Group K (7.1–9.0 mcd) and Group L (9.0–11.2 mcd) per Vishay's intensity classification table. Each reel ships with only one brightness group-no mixing-and IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within that group. This guarantees uniform appearance across assemblies without post-production sorting.
