Product details
Overview
VLMH3100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is an orange-red surface-mount LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 2.8–12 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, with dominant wavelength 612–625 nm and ±60° viewing angle-designed for indicator and backlighting functions in telecommunication and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the VLMH3100-GS08 datasheet, VLMH3100-GS08 pinout, VLMH3100-GS08 application, or VLMH3100-GS08 equivalent, this device requires attention to forward voltage (2.0–2.8 V @ 20 mA), reverse voltage limit (6 V), junction temperature (≤100 °C), and JEDEC level 2a preconditioning compliance for reliable SMT integration.
Technical Context
The VLMH3100-GS08 uses GaAsP-on-GaP semiconductor technology to emit orange-red light with peak wavelength at 635 nm and dominant wavelength tightly binned between 612 nm and 625 nm. Its non-diffused lens enables efficient coupling to light pipes and flat backlighting structures.
Rated for DC forward current up to 20 mA and surge current of 340 mA (10 μs pulse), it features thermal resistance of 400 K/W when mounted on a PCB pad >16 mm² and operates across –40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMO3100-GS08 | Soft orange color (598–611 nm dominant wavelength); lower typical luminous intensity (8 mcd vs. 12 mcd) | Better suited for warm-tone UIs where orange-red saturation is excessive | Select when color warmth and reduced visual intensity are preferred over high-contrast red signaling |
| VLMY3100-GS08 | Yellow emission (581–594 nm); higher forward voltage (2.1–2.8 V vs. 2.0–2.8 V); same PLCC-2 package | Used where yellow coding aligns with IEC 60417 safety or status conventions | Choose for standardized yellow indicators in industrial control panels requiring color-coded status hierarchy |
Compared with VLMO3100-GS08 and VLMY3100-GS08, the VLMH3100-GS08 offers the longest dominant wavelength and highest luminous intensity in its series-making it optimal for high-visibility red-orange signaling where spectral purity and brightness consistency are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMH3100-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMH3100-GS08 is 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤74 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated degradation or thermal runaway. Derating is required above 74 °C, per Figure 1 in the datasheet. The VLMH3100-GS08 must be operated within this limit to ensure rated lifetime and luminous output stability.
Does VLMH3100-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
Yes-VLMH3100-GS08 is moisture-sensitive per JEDEC level 2a and must be baked if exposed to ambient conditions >672 hours after opening the dry bag. Recommended bake: 96 hours at 60 °C ±5 °C and <5 % RH. The VLMH3100-GS08 reel label includes the JESD22-A112 level 2a indicator to confirm moisture exposure status.
What is the viewing angle specification for VLMH3100-GS08?
The VLMH3100-GS08 has an angle of half intensity of ±60°, meaning luminous intensity drops to 50 % of peak value at ±60° from the optical axis. This symmetric radiation pattern supports wide-angle visibility without secondary optics and is measured at 10 mA forward current per the official Vishay datasheet.
Is VLMH3100-GS08 compatible with Pb-free reflow processes?
Yes-VLMH3100-GS08 is qualified for Pb-free reflow per J-STD-020, with peak package body temperature up to 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. The recommended profile (Figure 27) specifies ramp rates ≤3 °C/s (up), ≤6 °C/s (down), and time above 217 °C limited to ≤30 s. This ensures reliable solder joint formation without damaging the VLMH3100-GS08 die or encapsulant.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMH3100-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes the tape-and-reel packaging option: 8 mm antistatic blister tape containing 1500 units per reel, compliant with DIN IEC 40 (CO) 564. This format is optimized for high-speed automated placement. The VLMH3100-GS08 differs from GS18 (8000 units/reel) in quantity and reel dimensions, but shares identical electrical and optical specifications.
