Product details
Overview
VLMY3100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount yellow LED in PLCC-2 package, with dominant wavelength 581–594 nm, luminous intensity 2.8–11 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 VLMY3100-GS08 datasheet, VLMY3100-GS08 pinout, VLMY3100-GS08 application, or VLMY3100-GS08 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical, electrical, thermal, and packaging data - including JEDEC level 2a preconditioning compliance, 8 mm tape packaging, and PLCC-2 mechanical dimensions - to support SMT placement, reflow soldering, and brightness-binned design validation.
Technical Context
The VLMY3100-GS08 is a GaAsP-on-GaP yellow LED optimized for high-brightness indicator and backlight functions in compact SMD layouts. It operates at 10 mA test current for photometric characterization and supports 20 mA DC forward current with thermal resistance of 400 K/W when mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB pad.
Its non-diffused lens enables efficient coupling to light pipes and flat backlight assemblies, while its ±60° half-intensity angle ensures wide visibility without excessive lateral spread. The device meets CECC 00802 and J-STD-020 for infrared, vapor-phase, and wave soldering processes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Dominant wavelength | 581–594 nm - defines visible yellow output suitable for status indication where color differentiation from red/green is critical |
| Luminous intensity | 2.8–11 mcd at 10 mA - brightness binned per reel (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6), enabling consistent visual performance across production units |
| Forward voltage | 2.1–2.8 V at 20 mA - low power consumption compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-supplied LED drivers |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - wide angular distribution ideal for front-panel indicators and uniform edge-lit backlighting |
| Absolute max current | 20 mA DC - sets maximum continuous drive level for thermal reliability at Tamb ≤ 74 °C |
| Junction temperature | 100 °C - defines upper thermal limit for sustained operation; requires RthJA = 400 K/W PCB layout for safe derating |
| Reverse voltage | 6 V - limits reverse bias exposure during circuit transients or multiplexed driving schemes |
Pinout & Package
Package: PLCC-2 (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier, 2-terminal), low-profile SMD with white thermoplastic body, clear epoxy lens, and embedded lead frame. Dimensions: 3.5 ± 0.2 mm × 2.8 ± 0.15 mm × 1.75 ± 0.1 mm (L × W × H); mounting pad layout defined per drawing 6.541-5067.01-4.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables precise optical coupling into light guides and backlights without scattering loss |
| Luminous intensity ratio control | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel - ensures minimal brightness variation across assembled units |
| JEDEC level 2a preconditioning | Validates moisture sensitivity handling prior to reflow, reducing popcorning risk during assembly |
| EIA/ICE standard package | Ensures compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment and industry-standard tape feeders |
| Low power consumption | 2.1–2.8 V @ 20 mA enables direct drive from microcontroller GPIOs or low-dropout LED drivers |
Applications
| Office Equipment Indicator | Audio/Video Backlight |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Status indication on printers, scanners, and multifunction devices requiring high-visibility yellow feedback under ambient lighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone optical output device driven by microcontroller GPIO or dedicated LED driver IC. Use Value: Consistent 581–594 nm yellow output ensures color-coded status recognition distinct from green OK/red error signals. |
Use Scenario: Edge-lit backlight for front-panel buttons and displays in AV receivers and streaming devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Light source coupled to light pipe or diffuser film; no timing or signal conditioning required. Use Value: ±60° viewing angle provides uniform illumination across narrow bezels without hotspots or dark zones. |
| LCD Symbol Backlight | Telecom Device Indicator |
Use Scenario: Illumination of segmented symbols (e.g., "LINE", "HOLD", "MUTE") on monochrome LCD modules in industrial HMIs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DC-driven discrete emitter; brightness controlled via PWM or constant-current source. Use Value: Non-diffused lens maximizes light transfer efficiency into small-aperture LCD cutouts, improving contrast ratio. |
Use Scenario: Call status and line activity indicators in VoIP phones and fax machines operating in mixed-light environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Visual signaling element powered from system 3.3 V rail with series resistor or current-regulated driver. Use Value: 2.8–11 mcd output at 10 mA ensures legibility at >2 m distance while maintaining low power draw. |
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 | Higher typical luminous intensity (10 mcd vs. 11 mcd) and tighter binning (4.5–11.2 mcd range) | Better suited for applications requiring higher brightness consistency across units | Select when tighter IV tolerance and higher minimum output are needed without changing footprint or drive conditions |
| LYT670J1L2 (OSRAM) | Same PLCC-2 package, 585 nm peak wavelength, 2.2–2.8 V VF, but wider IV range (3–12 mcd at 10 mA) | Compatible for general-purpose yellow indication but lacks VLMY3100-GS08's IV ratio control (≤1.6) | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where absolute brightness matching is less critical than form-fit-function replacement |
Compared with VLMY3100-GS08, VLMY3101-GS08 offers higher baseline intensity and tighter binning for improved visual uniformity, while LYT670J1L2 provides cross-manufacturer sourcing flexibility at the expense of luminous intensity consistency per reel.

FAQ
What is the dominant wavelength range of the VLMY3100-GS08?
The VLMY3100-GS08 has a dominant wavelength range of 581–594 nm, measured at 10 mA forward current. This places its output firmly in the yellow portion of the visible spectrum, distinct from orange-red (612–625 nm) and green (562–575 nm) variants in the same VLM.310. family. The value is confirmed in the Optical and Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Vishay document 84789.
What is the maximum DC forward current rating for VLMY3100-GS08?
The VLMY3100-GS08 is rated for a maximum DC forward current of 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤ 74 °C. Exceeding this current without thermal derating risks exceeding the 100 °C junction temperature limit. Absolute maximum ratings are specified in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" table on page 2 of Vishay document 84789.
Does VLMY3100-GS08 have a diffused or non-diffused lens?
The VLMY3100-GS08 features a non-diffused lens, explicitly stated in the FEATURES section on page 1 of Vishay document 84789. This design enhances coupling efficiency into light pipes and edge-lit backlight structures, minimizing lateral light scatter and maximizing directional output.
What tape option does VLMY3100-GS08 use, and how many units are on the reel?
VLMY3100-GS08 ships in GS08 tape configuration: an antistatic 8 mm blister tape containing 1500 pieces per reel. This is confirmed in the "METHOD OF TAPING" section and Figure 25 (Reel Dimensions – GS08) on page 10 of Vishay document 84789.
Is VLMY3100-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, VLMY3100-GS08 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with a peak package body temperature limit of 260 °C for ≤ 10 seconds. The recommended profile is shown in Figure 27 (Vishay Lead-free Reflow Soldering Profile) on page 10 of Vishay document 84789.
