Product details
Overview
VLMK3102-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a red surface-mount AlInGaP-on-GaAs LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 43 mcd typical luminous intensity at 10 mA, with dominant wavelength of 630 nm and ±60° viewing angle-designed for automotive dashboard backlighting and indicator applications.
For engineers reviewing the VLMK3102-GS08 datasheet, VLMK3102-GS08 pinout, VLMK3102-GS08 application, or VLMK3102-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (M-group), AEC-Q101 qualification, JEDEC level 2a moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This device uses AlInGaP-on-GaAs semiconductor technology to achieve high-brightness red emission with narrow spectral peak (643 nm) and stable forward voltage (1.9–2.6 V at 20 mA). Its PLCC-2 package features a white thermoplastic body with clear epoxy lens and integrated reflector for directional light output.
Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 400 K/W on a >16 mm² PCB pad, supporting operation from –40 °C to +100 °C ambient. It meets CECC 00802 and J-STD-020 for reflow, vapor-phase, and wave soldering, and withstands 2 kV ESD per JESD22-A114-B.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 22.4–56 mcd at 10 mA - defines brightness binning (M-group) for consistent visual matching across units |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar red LED emitter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OSRAM LST676 | Same dominant wavelength (630 nm) and PLCC-2 package; luminous intensity range overlaps but not binned identically | Used in industrial control panels where AEC-Q101 is not required | Select when cross-manufacturer sourcing flexibility is needed and M-group binning is not mandatory |
| VLMK3105-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity (35.5–90 mcd); same package, wavelength, and qualification | Suitable for applications requiring higher brightness without changing layout or drive circuit | Choose for upgraded brightness in existing designs where thermal margin allows increased forward current |
Compared with VLMK3102-GS08, LST676 offers equivalent optical form factor but lacks AEC-Q101 validation, while VLMK3105-GS08 provides higher intensity within identical mechanical and thermal constraints-enabling brightness scaling without redesign.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity range of the VLMK3102-GS08?
The VLMK3102-GS08 has a luminous intensity range of 22.4–56 mcd at 10 mA, placing it in the M-group binning category per Vishay's classification table. This ensures consistent brightness across units shipped on the same reel, with IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6. The typical value is 43 mcd, measured using a 25 ms current pulse with ±11 % accuracy.
Is the VLMK3102-GS08 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the VLMK3102-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming its suitability for automotive interior applications including dashboard backlighting and switch indicators. It operates across –40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature and meets rigorous stress testing requirements for humidity, thermal cycling, and mechanical shock defined in the AEC standard.
What is the maximum forward current rating for continuous operation of the VLMK3102-GS08?
The VLMK3102-GS08 has a DC forward current rating of 30 mA at Tamb ≤ 85 °C. At higher ambient temperatures, derating is required per Figure 1 in the datasheet; for example, at 100 °C ambient, the permissible DC current drops to approximately 15 mA to maintain junction temperature ≤ 125 °C.
Does the VLMK3102-GS08 require special handling due to moisture sensitivity?
Yes, the VLMK3102-GS08 is rated JEDEC level 2a and must be handled per moisture-sensitive device protocols. After opening the sealed antistatic bag, it must be mounted within 672 hours at <30 °C / 60 % RH or stored in a dry box (<10 % RH). If exposed beyond this limit, baking at 60 °C for 96 hours is required before reflow soldering.
What soldering profiles are compatible with the VLMK3102-GS08?
The VLMK3102-GS08 supports lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C for ≤100 s and time above 217 °C limited to ≤30 s. It is also compatible with vapor-phase and wave soldering per CECC 00802. The recommended profile includes ramp rates ≤3 °C/s (up) and ≤6 °C/s (down), and preconditioning per JEDEC level 2a is mandatory.
