Product details
Overview
VLMP3101-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount yellow LED in PLCC-2 package, with dominant wavelength 581–594 nm, luminous intensity 4.5–11.2 mcd at 10 mA, forward voltage 2.1–2.8 V at 20 mA, and ±60° viewing angle - used for indicator and backlighting in office equipment and LCD panels.
For engineers reviewing the VLMP3101-GS08 datasheet, VLMP3101-GS08 pinout, VLMP3101-GS08 application, or VLMP3101-GS08 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical, electrical, thermal, and packaging data directly applicable to PCB layout, brightness binning, reflow compatibility, and SMT placement validation.
Technical Context
This device is a GaAsP-on-GaP yellow-emitting LED optimized for high-brightness indicator and flat backlighting applications. It operates at 10 mA test current for luminous intensity and 20 mA for forward voltage, with JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning and compatibility with IR reflow (peak 260 °C), vapor phase, and wave soldering per CECC 00802 and J-STD-020.
The PLCC-2 package features a white thermoplastic body with embedded lead frame and clear epoxy-filled reflector, enabling efficient light coupling to light pipes and uniform angular distribution. Its non-diffused lens and low-profile construction support tight spacing in space-constrained front-panel designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Dominant wavelength | 581–594 nm - defines visible yellow output suitable for human-eye-optimized status indication |
| Luminous intensity | 4.5–11.2 mcd at 10 mA - enables consistent brightness grading within single tape reel (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6) |
| Forward voltage | 2.1–2.8 V at 20 mA - determines series resistor sizing and power dissipation in 3.3 V or 5 V logic-driven circuits |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination for panel-level indicators without secondary optics |
| Absolute max forward current | 20 mA at Tamb ≤ 74 °C - sets continuous drive limit for thermal reliability in sealed enclosures |
| Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance | 400 K/W on >16 mm² pad - informs minimum copper area required for sustained 20 mA operation |
| 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 on opposite sides of a 3.5 mm × 2.8 mm white thermoplastic body; lead frame embedded in housing, clear epoxy lens, non-diffused profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive DC input terminal | Connected to current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver output; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse breakdown |
| Cathode (K) | Ground/negative return path | Typically tied to system GND or sink driver; marking dot or chamfered corner identifies cathode side per JEDEC standard |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables direct coupling to light pipes and edge-lit LCD backlights without intensity loss from scattering |
| Luminous intensity ratio control | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel ensures predictable brightness matching across production batches |
| EIA/ICE-standard PLCC-2 footprint | Guarantees compatibility with automated pick-and-place machines and standard SMT reflow profiles |
| JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning | Validates moisture sensitivity handling prior to reflow, eliminating need for baking unless exposed >672 h at >30°C/60% RH |
| Low power consumption | 20 mA max drive at 2.8 V yields ≤56 mW total dissipation - supports energy-efficient designs in battery-powered equipment |
Applications
| Office Equipment Indicator | Audio/Video Backlight |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Status indication on multifunction printers, scanners, and copiers with front-panel push buttons and LCD segments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Visual feedback emitter driven by microcontroller GPIO or dedicated LED driver IC.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar yellow LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMY3101-GS08 | Identical optical/electrical specs and PLCC-2 package; same Vishay product family and tape/reel configuration (GS08 = 1500 pcs). | No functional difference - identical use cases and board-level integration requirements. | Select when sourcing from alternate distributor stock or requiring cross-reference traceability to official Vishay documentation. |
| LYT670J1K2 | OSRAM equivalent with dominant wavelength 585 nm (typ), luminous intensity 4.5–11.2 mcd at 10 mA, and PLCC-2 footprint. | Same indicator/backlight role but requires validation of solder profile compatibility and moisture sensitivity level (not specified as JEDEC Level 2a). | Choose for multi-source procurement where OSRAM supply chain alignment is prioritized over Vishay-specific binning consistency. |
Compared with VLMP3101-GS08, VLMY3101-GS08 offers identical performance and drop-in replacement capability, while LYT670J1K2 provides a second-source option with minor wavelength variation and unconfirmed preconditioning compliance - critical for high-reliability production runs.

FAQ
What is the dominant wavelength range of the VLMP3101-GS08?
The VLMP3101-GS08 has a dominant wavelength range of 581–594 nm, placing its output firmly in the yellow portion of the visible spectrum. This range is measured at 10 mA forward current and ensures consistent color perception across units within the same brightness bin. The typical value is 588 nm, aligning with peak human photopic sensitivity for optimal visual impact in indicator applications.
Does the VLMP3101-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
The VLMP3101-GS08 is preconditioned to JEDEC Level 2a and shipped in moisture-barrier dry packing. Baking is not required if mounted within 672 hours of opening the bag under factory conditions (<30°C / 60% RH). If exposure exceeds this window, baking at 60°C ±5°C for 96 hours at <5% RH is recommended - but note that reels are not suitable for 100°C baking per Vishay guidelines.
What is the maximum continuous forward current for VLMP3101-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMP3101-GS08 is 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤74°C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated degradation or thermal runaway. For reliable long-term operation at full brightness, derating is advised above 74°C using the published IF vs. Tamb curve (Fig. 1), where current must be reduced to 15 mA at 85°C ambient.
Is the VLMP3101-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the VLMP3101-GS08 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its qualified profile supports peak package body temperatures up to 260°C for ≤10 seconds, with ramp rates limited to 3°C/s (up) and 6°C/s (down). The device passes JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning, confirming robustness against moisture-induced popcorning during reflow.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMP3101-GS08?
VLMP3101-GS08 is intensity-binned per the LUMINOUS INTENSITY CLASSIFICATION table: it falls in Group J (4.5–5.6 mcd) or K (7.1–9.0 mcd), depending on measured output at 10 mA. Each 1500-piece GS08 reel contains only one brightness group - no mixing - ensuring IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 for predictable visual uniformity in multi-LED arrays.
