Product details
Overview
VLMP3100-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 - optimized for indicator and backlighting in telecommunication and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the VLMP3100-GS08 datasheet, VLMP3100-GS08 pinout, VLMP3100-GS08 application, or VLMP3100-GS08 equivalent, this page provides verified optical/electrical specs, SMD placement compatibility, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning status, and real-world use context for rapid selection and layout integration.
Technical Context
The VLMP3100-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 PLCC-2 package features a white thermoplastic body with clear epoxy lens and non-diffused optics, enabling efficient coupling to light pipes and uniform LCD backlighting.
Rated for 20 mA DC forward current and 6 V reverse voltage, it operates across –40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature with thermal resistance of 400 K/W (junction-to-ambient, mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB pad). Luminous intensity ratio within one tape unit is controlled to IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per JEDEC-compliant binning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 2.8–12 mcd at 10 mA - enables visible indication under ambient lighting without excessive power draw |
| Dominant wavelength | 612–625 nm - ensures consistent orange-red color perception across production lots |
| Forward voltage | 2.0–2.8 V at 20 mA - compatible with standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic-supplied current-limiting resistor designs |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, even illumination for panel indicators and flat backlight zones |
| Absolute max forward current | 20 mA continuous - defines safe operating limit for long-term reliability in industrial-grade applications |
| Junction capacitance | 15 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - low enough to avoid signal integrity issues in fast-pulsed display multiplexing |
| Thermal resistance | 400 K/W - requires ≥16 mm² copper pad for thermal management in high-duty-cycle operation |
Pinout & Package
VLMP3100-GS08 uses a 2-pin PLCC-2 surface-mount package with molded white thermoplastic body and clear epoxy lens. Pin identification follows standard PLCC-2 polarity: cathode (shorter lead/internal marking) and anode (longer lead), with dimensions 3.5 ± 0.2 mm × 2.8 ± 0.15 mm × 2.2 mm height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Positive terminal | Connected to current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver output; must be biased higher than cathode by ≥2.0 V |
| Cathode | Negative terminal | Typically tied to ground or sink driver; polarity-sensitive - reverse connection blocks conduction and risks damage above 6 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables precise optical coupling to light guides and edge-lit LCD backlights without scattering loss |
| EIA/ICE standard PLCC-2 footprint | Ensures compatibility with automated pick-and-place machines and standard reflow profiles (J-STD-020) |
| Luminous intensity binning | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per tape unit - reduces brightness variance across assembled panels |
| JEDEC level 2a preconditioning | Validates moisture sensitivity handling for lead-free reflow without baking under standard factory conditions |
| Low profile (2.2 mm height) | Supports ultra-thin device designs where mechanical clearance is constrained, e.g., handheld telecom interfaces |
Applications
| Telephone Indicator | Office Equipment Backlight |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Status indication for line busy, voicemail, or call-waiting on cordless telephone handsets and VoIP desk phones. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Visual status emitter driven directly by microcontroller GPIO or dedicated LED driver IC. Use Value: High-visibility orange-red emission at low 10 mA drive ensures legibility in varied indoor lighting while minimizing power load on battery-backed systems. |
Use Scenario: Keypad and function key backlighting in multifunction printers, scanners, and copiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete SMD LED array powered via constant-current source or PWM-controlled driver. Use Value: ±60° viewing angle and non-diffused lens deliver uniform illumination across keycaps without secondary optics, reducing BOM count. |
| LCD Symbol Illumination | Audio/Video Equipment Indicator |
Use Scenario: Backlighting of segmented symbols (e.g., "REC", "PLAY", "MUTE") on monochrome LCD displays in test instruments and industrial HMIs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direct-drive discrete LED placed behind transparent symbol cutouts in front panel overlay. Use Value: Tight 612–625 nm dominant wavelength ensures color consistency across multi-LED arrays, critical for brand-aligned UI design. |
Use Scenario: Power-on, signal-active, and mute-state indicators on AV receivers, soundbars, and streaming devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power visual feedback element interfaced to system MCU via current-limiting resistor network. Use Value: 2.8–12 mcd output at 10 mA balances visibility and eye comfort in dimly lit home theater environments without requiring active dimming circuitry. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMH3102-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity (7.1–18 mcd at 10 mA) with identical wavelength and package | Better suited for high-ambient-light environments or longer viewing distances | Select when >12 mcd output is required without changing PCB layout or drive circuit |
| VLMO3100-GS08 | Soft orange emission (598–611 nm dominant wavelength); same intensity range and PLCC-2 footprint | Used where warmer orange tone is specified for human-factor or aesthetic alignment | Choose for color-differentiated status coding (e.g., warning vs. normal) within same mechanical design |
Compared with VLMP3100-GS08, VLMH3102-GS08 delivers higher brightness for demanding visibility needs, while VLMO3100-GS08 shifts hue toward softer orange - both retain identical PLCC-2 mounting, thermal behavior, and drive requirements, enabling drop-in substitution only when intensity or chromaticity tolerances permit.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for VLMP3100-GS08?
The VLMP3100-GS08 has a maximum DC forward current of 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤74 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated degradation and reduced lifetime. Derating is required above 74 °C per the datasheet's IF vs. Tamb curve, with zero current permitted above 100 °C ambient.
Does VLMP3100-GS08 require baking before lead-free reflow soldering?
No - VLMP3100-GS08 is preconditioned to JEDEC level 2a and shipped in dry-packed anti-humidity bags. It may be mounted within 672 hours of bag opening under ≤30 °C/60 % RH conditions without baking. Baking is only required if humidity indicator card exceeds 10 % or exposure exceeds time limits.
What is the dominant wavelength range specified for VLMP3100-GS08?
The dominant wavelength for VLMP3100-GS08 is specified as 612 nm (minimum) to 625 nm (maximum) at 10 mA forward current. This range defines the perceived orange-red hue and is measured per CIE 1931 color space standards using standardized photometric equipment.
Can VLMP3100-GS08 be used in wave soldering processes?
Yes - VLMP3100-GS08 is qualified for infrared, vapor phase, and wave soldering per CECC 00802 and J-STD-020. Peak solder temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤5 seconds, and thermal shock limits are defined in the official Vishay reflow profile (Fig. 27).
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMP3100-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes Vishay's standard 8 mm carrier tape packaging option containing 1500 units per reel. It specifies antistatic blister tape compliant with DIN IEC 40 (CO) 564, including ESD-safe top seal and JEDEC level 2a moisture labeling - distinct from GS18 (8000-unit reel).
