Product details
Overview
VLMP3102-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, ±60° viewing angle, and forward voltage ≤2.8 V at 20 mA. It serves as a high-brightness indicator or backlight in telecommunication and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the VLMP3102-GS08 datasheet, VLMP3102-GS08 pinout, VLMP3102-GS08 application, or VLMP3102-GS08 equivalent, this page provides verified optical, electrical, and packaging data-specifically for the orange-red VLMH3102 variant in GS08 tape format-with confirmed luminous intensity binning, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning, and compatibility with IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This orange-red GaAsP-on-GaP LED operates at 10 mA test current with peak emission near 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 optimized for light-pipe coupling and LCD backlighting.
Rated for continuous DC forward current up to 20 mA (Tamb ≤ 74 °C), it supports surge currents of 340 mA (10 μs pulse) and exhibits junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 400 K/W on ≥16 mm² PCB pads. Reverse voltage rating is 6 V; reverse leakage remains ≤10 μA at 6 V.

Pinout & Package
VLMP3102-GS08 uses a 2-pin PLCC-2 surface-mount package with cathode/anode terminals. The package measures 3.5 mm × 2.8 mm × 1.75 mm, features a white thermoplastic body, clear epoxy lens, and integrated reflector. Pin identification follows standard PLCC-2 polarity: Pin 1 (anode) and Pin 2 (cathode), with cathode marked by a notch or chamfer on the package edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Positive terminal requiring current-limiting resistor; connects to supply rail in common-cathode configurations |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Negative terminal; marked by physical notch on package; ties to ground or driver sink in most indicator layouts |
Key Features

Use Value: Tight dominant wavelength (612–625 nm) ensures consistent color rendering across production batches. |
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-visibility or low-power standby indicators | Select when reduced brightness suffices and tighter current budget is critical |
| VLMH3102-GS18 | Identical optical/electrical specs; shipped in 8000-piece GS18 tape instead of 1500-piece GS08 | Better suited for high-volume production runs requiring fewer reel changes | Choose GS18 for line efficiency in mass manufacturing; GS08 preferred for prototyping or low-MOQ orders |
Compared with VLMP3102-GS08, VLMH3100-GS08 trades luminance for lower drive sensitivity, while VLMH3102-GS18 offers identical performance in higher-density packaging-enabling design continuity across pilot and volume production phases without circuit or layout change.

FAQ
What is the exact dominant wavelength range specified for VLMP3102-GS08?
The dominant wavelength for VLMP3102-GS08 is 612 nm (minimum) to 625 nm (maximum) at 10 mA forward current, per Vishay's official datasheet revision 2.6. This range defines its orange-red chromaticity and is measured under standardized pulsed conditions (25 ms pulse width). The value is confirmed for the VLMH3102 variant and applies directly to VLMP3102-GS08 as a documented part number in the same series.
Is VLMP3102-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMP3102-GS08 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. Vishay provides a validated Pb-free reflow profile (Figure 27), and the device undergoes JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning to ensure moisture sensitivity is managed. Its PLCC-2 package withstands thermal cycling without delamination or lens cracking.
Does VLMP3102-GS08 have a diffused or non-diffused lens?
VLMP3102-GS08 features a non-diffused lens, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the datasheet. This optical design delivers directional output with minimal scattering-making it especially effective for coupling into light pipes and edge-lit LCD backlights where optical efficiency and beam control are critical.
What is the maximum DC forward current rating for VLMP3102-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMP3102-GS08 is 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤74 °C. At higher temperatures, derating is required per Figure 1 (Maximum Permissible Forward Current vs. Ambient Temperature). Exceeding 20 mA risks accelerated degradation and violates the device's safe operating area as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMP3102-GS08, and what does 'K2' mean?
VLMP3102-GS08 falls into luminous intensity group K2 per Vishay's classification table: minimum 9.00 mcd, maximum 11.20 mcd at 10 mA. Each reel contains only one brightness group (no mixing), ensuring consistent visual output across assembled units. The 'K2' designation appears in ordering codes and correlates directly to the 7.1–18 mcd typical–max range published in the optical characteristics table.
