Product details
Overview
VLMP3107-GS18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount green LED in PLCC-2 package, emitting at dominant wavelength 562–575 nm with typical luminous intensity of 16 mcd at 10 mA, forward voltage 2.1–2.8 V at 20 mA, and ±60° viewing angle - used for LCD backlighting, indicator panels, and office equipment status lighting.
For engineers reviewing the VLMP3107-GS18 datasheet, VLMP3107-GS18 pinout, VLMP3107-GS18 application, or VLMP3107-GS18 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical-electrical specs, thermal limits, tape-and-reel packaging details (GS18 = 8000 pcs/reel), and real-world design context for SMD LED integration in industrial and consumer displays.
Technical Context
The VLMP3107-GS18 is a GaP-on-GaP green LED optimized for high-brightness indicator and backlight functions. It operates within -40 °C to +100 °C ambient range, supports IR reflow per J-STD-020 (peak 260 °C), and features non-diffused lens for efficient light-pipe coupling.
Its PLCC-2 package uses white thermoplastic body with embedded lead frame and clear epoxy-filled reflector cavity. Luminous intensity binning ensures IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within each reel, enabling consistent brightness across production batches without manual sorting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Dominant wavelength | 562–575 nm - defines visible green emission band suitable for human-eye-optimized indicators and LCD backlights. |
| Luminous intensity | 4.5–16 mcd at 10 mA - enables low-power, high-visibility status indication without excessive current draw. |
| Forward voltage | 2.1–2.8 V at 20 mA - compatible with standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic-supply rails using simple series resistor drive. |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination for panel-mounted indicators and edge-lit backlight zones. |
| Absolute max forward current | 20 mA continuous - sets safe DC operating limit; surge rating of 340 mA (10 μs) supports brief pulse driving. |
| Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance | 400 K/W on >16 mm² PCB pad - informs heatsinking requirements for sustained operation near upper temperature limits. |
| Reverse voltage rating | 6 V - defines maximum allowable reverse bias during multiplexed or AC-coupled driving schemes. |
Pinout & Package
VLMP3107-GS18 uses a 2-pin PLCC-2 surface-mount package with molded white thermoplastic body, non-diffused lens, and lead frame embedded in clear epoxy-filled reflector cavity. Dimensions: 3.5 ± 0.2 mm × 2.8 ± 0.15 mm × 1.75 ± 0.1 mm height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive terminal for forward bias | Connected to internal P-layer; requires current-limiting resistor when driven from 3.3 V/5 V supply. |
| Cathode (K) | Negative terminal for forward bias | Connected to internal N-layer; marked by notch on package top surface per PLCC-2 polarity convention. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables precise light directionality for coupling into light pipes and edge-lit LCD backlights without scattering loss. |
| Luminous intensity ratio ≤ 1.6 | Ensures brightness consistency across all units on a single GS18 reel (8000 pcs), eliminating post-placement bin-matching. |
| JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning | Guarantees moisture sensitivity compliance for Pb-free reflow, reducing risk of popcorning during assembly. |
| Low profile PLCC-2 footprint | 1.75 mm height allows integration into space-constrained front-panel interfaces and slim display bezels. |
| Compatible with wave/vapor-phase soldering | Validated per CECC 00802 - supports legacy through-hole-compatible assembly lines alongside SMT processes. |
Applications
| LCD Backlighting | Office Equipment Indicator |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Edge-lit backlight for monochrome or segmented LCDs in copiers, fax machines, and multifunction printers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Green light source coupled via light pipe to LCD glass; no timing or control IC required - driven directly by microcontroller GPIO or discrete transistor. Use Value: High 16 mcd output at 10 mA enables full brightness with minimal power draw, extending battery life in portable office devices. |
Use Scenario: Status indicator for power-on, ready, error, or paper-jam conditions on control panels of printers and scanners. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Visual feedback element; driven statically or PWM-modulated by MCU I/O pin - no external driver IC needed. Use Value: ±60° viewing angle ensures visibility across wide operator angles; non-diffused lens maintains intensity over distance without diffusion loss. |
| Telecom Front Panel | Audio/Video Equipment Display |
Use Scenario: Call status, line busy, or voicemail indicator on telephone handsets and VoIP desk phones. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direct-driven LED; synchronized to system state via MCU output - no protocol or interface IC involved. Use Value: Dominant wavelength 562–575 nm delivers high photopic luminance for rapid visual recognition under ambient office lighting. |
Use Scenario: Source selection, mute, or input status indicator on AV receivers, amplifiers, and streaming boxes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone optical indicator; electrically isolated from audio signal path - avoids EMI coupling into analog stages. Use Value: Low 2.1 V min forward voltage allows reliable turn-on even with aged or weak 3.3 V rail regulation, improving field reliability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar green LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMG3100-GS18 | Same package, same dominant wavelength range (562–575 nm), identical luminous intensity spec (4.5–16 mcd), but rated for 10 mA test condition only - VLMP3107-GS18 is explicitly characterized at both 10 mA and 20 mA. | No functional difference in indicator or backlight use; identical thermal and soldering profiles. | Select VLMP3107-GS18 when design validation requires confirmed 20 mA forward voltage data (2.1–2.8 V) or JEDEC Level 2a moisture sensitivity labeling. |
| VLMG3102-GS08 | Higher intensity bin (11.2–18 mcd at 10 mA), same wavelength and package, but shipped in GS08 tape (1500 pcs/reel) - not GS18 - and lacks explicit 20 mA VF characterization. | Suitable where higher brightness is prioritized over reel quantity or full 20 mA drive validation. | Choose VLMG3102-GS08 only if brightness headroom is critical and reel size (1500 vs. 8000) aligns with production planning. |
Compared with VLMG3100-GS18, VLMP3107-GS18 provides additional 20 mA forward voltage validation and JEDEC Level 2a labeling; versus VLMG3102-GS08, it trades peak intensity for guaranteed moisture-safe handling and larger reel quantity - making VLMP3107-GS18 optimal for high-volume, reliability-critical indicator designs.

FAQ
What is the dominant wavelength range of the VLMP3107-GS18?
The VLMP3107-GS18 has a dominant wavelength range of 562 nm to 575 nm, placing its emission squarely in the green portion of the visible spectrum. This range is measured at 10 mA forward current and ensures consistent color perception across units within a reel, supporting reliable visual signaling in industrial and consumer interfaces.
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for VLMP3107-GS18?
The VLMP3107-GS18 is rated for a maximum continuous forward current of 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤ 74 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated degradation or thermal runaway. Its surge rating is 340 mA for pulses ≤ 10 μs, allowing brief overdrive in multiplexed display applications - but steady-state operation must remain at or below 20 mA.
Does VLMP3107-GS18 require baking before reflow soldering?
Yes - VLMP3107-GS18 is moisture-sensitive per JEDEC Level 2a and ships in dry-packed antistatic reels. If the aluminum bag is opened and the reel is exposed to ambient conditions >60 % RH for more than 672 hours, baking at 60 °C ± 5 °C for 96 hours (<5 % RH) is required prior to Pb-free reflow to prevent popcorning damage.
What does the "GS18" suffix indicate in VLMP3107-GS18?
The "GS18" suffix denotes Vishay's 8 mm tape-and-reel packaging option containing 8000 units per reel - the preferred high-volume configuration. It includes EIA-compliant blister tape, JEDEC Level 2a moisture labeling, and barcoded reel identification per Vishay's standard packing protocol, ensuring traceability and assembly-line readiness.
Is VLMP3107-GS18 compatible with infrared reflow soldering?
Yes - VLMP3107-GS18 is qualified for Pb-free infrared reflow per J-STD-020, with a maximum peak package body temperature of 260 °C for ≤ 10 seconds. Its thermal resistance (RthJA = 400 K/W) and package construction support reliable attachment when mounted on PCB pads ≥ 16 mm², provided ramp rates stay within 3 °C/s (up) and 6 °C/s (down).
