Product details
Overview
VLMRGB6112-00-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount tricolor LED with independent red (AlInGaP), true green (InGaN), and blue (InGaN) chips in a single PLCC-6 package, rated for 20 mA forward current per channel, ±60° viewing angle, and operation from −40 °C to +110 °C - designed for automotive interior lighting and RGB backlighting.
For engineers reviewing the VLMRGB6112-00-GS08 datasheet, VLMRGB6112-00-GS08 pinout, VLMRGB6112-00-GS08 application, or VLMRGB6112-00-GS08 equivalent, this part supports additive color mixing in space-constrained displays, requires thermal management via Cu pad areas >16 mm², and complies with AEC-Q101 and JEDEC Level 2 moisture sensitivity standards.
Technical Context
The VLMRGB6112-00-GS08 integrates three monochromatic die-red (618–629 nm), true green (519–534 nm), and blue (463–476 nm)-in a single 3.5 × 2.8 × 1.45 mm PLCC-6 package with white reflector and Lambertian emission. Each chip has dedicated anode/cathode terminals enabling independent current control.
It delivers luminous intensities of 560–920 mcd (red), 900–1800 mcd (true green), and 180–450 mcd (blue) at 20 mA, with forward voltages ranging from 1.8–2.4 V (red) and 2.7–3.6 V (green/blue). Thermal resistance junction-to-solder point is 170 K/W per chip.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar tricolor SMD LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OSRAM LUW Q9QP | PLCC-4 package, single common cathode; lower max luminous intensity (red: 420 mcd typ.) | Limited independent channel control; suited for simpler two-color or shared-cathode designs | Select when board space is constrained and full RGB independence is not required |
| Lumileds LUXEON Stylist RGB | 2.0 × 2.0 mm ceramic package; higher thermal dissipation (RthJA = 140 K/W); 30 mA rating per channel | Better suited for continuous high-brightness operation; requires tighter thermal layout | Select when sustained >20 mA drive or extended lifetime at elevated ambient temperatures is critical |
Compared with VLMRGB6112-00-GS08, LUW Q9QP sacrifices per-channel control for smaller footprint, while LUXEON Stylist RGB trades size for higher thermal capability and drive margin - making VLMRGB6112-00-GS08 optimal for cost-sensitive, AEC-Q101-compliant RGB systems needing balanced brightness and reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for each color channel in the VLMRGB6112-00-GS08?
The VLMRGB6112-00-GS08 supports a maximum forward current of 30 mA per channel (red, true green, and blue) at 25 °C ambient. At elevated temperatures, derating applies per Fig. 1 in the datasheet; for example, at 85 °C ambient, the recommended limit drops to ~18 mA per channel to maintain junction temperature below 115 °C (red) or 125 °C (green/blue). Always reference the absolute maximum ratings table for safe operation.
Is the VLMRGB6112-00-GS08 suitable for automotive exterior lighting applications?
No, the VLMRGB6112-00-GS08 is explicitly designed for interior automotive lighting only. It is not rated for exterior exposure to UV radiation, condensation, or direct headlamp-level photometric requirements. Its AEC-Q101 qualification covers reliability under interior thermal and vibration stress, but it lacks IP-rated encapsulation or optical lensing needed for exterior use. For exterior applications, consult Vishay's dedicated automotive exterior LED portfolio.
How are the red, green, and blue chips electrically isolated in the VLMRGB6112-00-GS08?
The VLMRGB6112-00-GS08 uses a 6-pin PLCC package with fully independent electrical paths: pins 2 and 5 form the red channel (AlInGaP), pins 1 and 6 form the true green channel (InGaN), and pins 3 and 4 form the blue channel (InGaN). There is no internal common anode or cathode - each color requires its own current-limiting resistor and drive signal, enabling true independent control without color crosstalk.
Does the VLMRGB6112-00-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
Yes, if the moisture barrier bag has been opened and the VLMRGB6112-00-GS08 has been exposed to ambient conditions beyond JEDEC Level 2 limits (≤1 year at ≤30 °C/60 % RH), baking is required prior to reflow. Recommended bake conditions are 96 hours at 60 °C +5 °C and <5 % RH for sealed reels, per JESD22-A112. Unbaked exposure risks popcorning during peak reflow at 255 °C.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in the VLMRGB6112-00-GS08 part number?
The "GS08" suffix denotes Vishay's standard tape-and-reel packaging configuration: "G" indicates Pb-free termination (SnAgCu), "S" indicates standard moisture barrier packaging, and "08" specifies the reel size (2000 pieces per 13-inch reel). This suffix does not affect electrical or optical specifications - all VLMRGB6112-00 variants share identical LED die, binning, and performance characteristics.
