Product details
Overview
VLMV3100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount bicolor LED in PLCC-3 package integrating discrete red (612–625 nm) and green (562–575 nm) GaP/GaAsP chips, delivering 12 mcd red and 14 mcd green luminous intensity at 10 mA, with ±60° viewing angle and dual-anode common-cathode configuration for indicator and backlighting applications in telecom and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the VLMV3100-GS08 datasheet, VLMV3100-GS08 pinout, VLMV3100-GS08 application, or VLMV3100-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity ratio ≤1.6 per reel, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning compliance, 2 kV ESD withstand voltage, IR reflow compatibility, and non-diffused lens suitability for light-pipe coupling.
Technical Context
The VLMV3100-GS08 implements a dual-die PLCC-3 structure with separate red (GaAsP on GaP) and green (GaP on GaP) epitaxial layers mounted on a single lead frame embedded in white thermoplastic. Each die operates independently with rated forward current of 20 mA per diode and thermal resistance of 400 K/W junction-to-ambient when mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB pad.
Optical performance is defined by dominant wavelength bins (red: 612–625 nm; green: 562–575 nm), ±60° half-intensity angle, and luminous intensity binned per reel to ensure IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6. Reverse voltage rating is 6 V per diode, and junction capacitance is 15 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity (red) | 12 mcd at 10 mA - enables high-visibility status indication without excessive drive current |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bicolor LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMV3100-GS18 | Same optical/electrical specs but supplied in 8000-piece GS18 tape (vs. 1500-piece GS08); identical PLCC-3 package and binning | Targeted at high-volume production runs requiring longer reel life and reduced changeover frequency | Select GS18 for automated SMT lines with continuous placement cycles exceeding 1500 units per reel |
| TLDR6400 | PLCC-4 package with separate anode/cathode pins per die; wider viewing angle (±70°); higher red intensity (18 mcd) | Better suited for applications needing independent cathode control or wider angular coverage | Choose TLDR6400 only if circuit design requires isolated cathodes or >±60° viewing is mandatory |
Compared with VLMV3100-GS08, VLMV3100-GS18 offers identical performance in a higher-density tape format ideal for volume manufacturing, while TLDR6400 provides expanded pinout flexibility and angular coverage at the cost of larger footprint and different drive topology.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of the VLMV3100-GS08?
The VLMV3100-GS08 uses a dual-anode common-cathode PLCC-3 pinout: Pin 1 is Anode 1 (red), Pin 2 is Cathode (shared), and Pin 3 is Anode 2 (green). This configuration allows independent control of red and green emission while sharing a single return path, simplifying PCB layout and driver design for bicolor indication.
Does the VLMV3100-GS08 support Pb-free reflow soldering?
Yes, the VLMV3100-GS08 is qualified for Pb-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with a peak package body temperature rating of 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. Its construction uses lead-free terminations and thermoplastic materials stable under IR reflow, vapor-phase, and wave soldering processes.
What is the maximum forward current rating for each diode in the VLMV3100-GS08?
Each diode in the VLMV3100-GS08 is rated for a DC forward current of 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤74 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated degradation; derating is required above 74 °C per the datasheet's forward current vs. ambient temperature curve.
How is luminous intensity binned for the VLMV3100-GS08?
Luminous intensity for the VLMV3100-GS08 is binned per reel to ensure IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within a single packaging unit. Reels contain only one brightness group (e.g., L1 or M2), preventing mixing of intensity grades and guaranteeing consistent visual output across assembled units.
What is the significance of the 'GS08' suffix in VLMV3100-GS08?
The 'GS08' suffix denotes Vishay's 8 mm antistatic blister tape packaging containing 1500 pieces per reel, compliant with DIN IEC 40 (CO) 564. It specifies tape width, cavity geometry, and reel dimensions optimized for high-speed pick-and-place equipment, distinguishing it from the GS18 variant (8000 pieces).
