Product details
Overview
VLMH3102-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is an orange-red surface-mount LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 7.1–18 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, with dominant wavelength 612–625 nm and ±60° viewing angle-designed for indicator and backlighting applications in telecommunication and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the VLMH3102-GS08 datasheet, VLMH3102-GS08 pinout, VLMH3102-GS08 application, or VLMH3102-GS08 equivalent, this part serves as a standardized, tape-and-reel packaged SMD LED optimized for automated placement, IR reflow compatibility, and consistent brightness binning (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel).
Technical Context
The VLMH3102-GS08 uses GaAsP-on-GaP epitaxial technology to emit orange-red light with peak wavelength at 635 nm and dominant wavelength tightly binned between 612 nm and 625 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 range, supports 20 mA DC forward current, and exhibits 15 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V reverse bias-enabling stable performance in low-speed indicator circuits without signal integrity concerns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 7.1–18 mcd at 10 mA - ensures visible indication under typical indoor lighting without excessive power draw |
| Dominant wavelength | 612–625 nm - defines precise orange-red chromaticity compliant with human-eye sensitivity peaks for status signaling |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination suitable for front-panel indicators and non-collimated backlighting |
| Forward voltage | 2.0–2.8 V at 20 mA - compatible with standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic-supply rails using simple current-limiting resistors |
| Absolute max forward current | 20 mA continuous - sets thermal and lifetime limits for PCB trace design and driver selection |
| Junction capacitance | 15 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - negligible loading effect on low-frequency drive circuits (<100 kHz) |
| Luminous intensity ratio | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel - guarantees consistent brightness across all units on a single tape, eliminating manual sorting |
Pinout & Package
PLCC-2 package: 2-pin surface-mount device with cathode (pin 1) and anode (pin 2) terminals; low-profile (2.2 mm height), white thermoplastic body with clear epoxy lens and internal reflector; pad layout requires ≥16 mm² copper area for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode | Connected to ground or current-sink driver; polarity must be observed to prevent reverse-bias damage up to 6 V |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Connected to positive supply via current-limiting resistor; forward voltage drop determines required headroom |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables efficient coupling into light pipes and edge-lit LCD backlights without scattering loss |
| EIA/ICE-standard PLCC-2 | Ensures mechanical compatibility with industry-standard pick-and-place nozzles and reflow profiles |
| JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning | Qualifies the VLMH3102-GS08 for moisture-sensitive handling in automated SMT lines without baking |
| Low power consumption | Operates at ≤56 mW total dissipation-reduces thermal stress on adjacent components and enables high-density layouts |
| 8 mm tape packaging (GS08) | Supplies 1500 units per reel-optimized for high-volume automated assembly with ESD-safe antistatic blister tape |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMH3100-GS08 | Lower luminous intensity (2.8–12 mcd), same wavelength and package | Suitable for low-brightness or battery-constrained indicator use cases | Select when reduced optical output suffices and tighter cost control is required |
| VLMY3102-GS08 | Yellow emission (581–594 nm dominant), identical intensity range and PLCC-2 footprint | Used where color differentiation is needed alongside orange-red indicators | Choose for multi-color status panels requiring chromatic separation without layout change |
Compared with VLMH3100-GS08, the VLMH3102-GS08 delivers higher and more tightly binned luminous intensity for consistent visual impact; versus VLMY3102-GS08, it offers distinct orange-red chromaticity while maintaining identical mechanical and electrical interface compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMH3102-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMH3102-GS08 is 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤74 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated degradation and reduced lifetime. Derating is required above 74 °C, per Figure 1 in the datasheet. The VLMH3102-GS08 must be operated within this limit to ensure compliance with its 100 °C junction temperature rating and 56 mW power dissipation specification.
Does VLMH3102-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
No-VLMH3102-GS08 is preconditioned to JEDEC Level 2a and shipped in dry-packed antistatic tape; baking is not required if mounted within 672 hours of opening the moisture barrier bag under ≤30 °C/60 % RH conditions. The VLMH3102-GS08 reel label includes the JESD22-A112 Level 2a marking confirming this qualification.
What is the luminous intensity binning tolerance for VLMH3102-GS08?
VLMH3102-GS08 is binned such that the ratio of maximum to minimum luminous intensity (IVmax/IVmin) within a single 1500-unit GS08 tape does not exceed 1.6. This tight binning ensures uniform brightness across all devices on the reel, eliminating post-assembly sorting for VLMH3102-GS08 in panel-mounted indicator applications.
Can VLMH3102-GS08 be used in wave soldering processes?
Yes-VLMH3102-GS08 is qualified for infrared reflow, vapor phase, and wave soldering per CECC 00802 and J-STD-020. Its PLCC-2 package withstands peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤10 seconds during wave soldering, provided the soldering profile adheres to Vishay's recommended thermal limits shown in Figure 28 of the datasheet.
What is the dominant wavelength range of VLMH3102-GS08?
The dominant wavelength of VLMH3102-GS08 is specified as 612–625 nm at 10 mA forward current, with a typical value of 619 nm. This orange-red spectral output is achieved using GaAsP-on-GaP semiconductor technology and is verified per the test conditions in the "Optical and Electrical Characteristics" table for VLMH310.-series devices in the datasheet.
