Product details
Overview
VLMY3102-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount yellow LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 7.1–18 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, with dominant wavelength 581–594 nm and ±60° viewing angle-designed for indicator and backlighting applications in office equipment and LCD panels.
For engineers reviewing the VLMY3102-GS08 datasheet, VLMY3102-GS08 pinout, VLMY3102-GS08 application, or VLMY3102-GS08 equivalent, this device requires attention to forward voltage (2.1–2.8 V @ 20 mA), reverse voltage limit (6 V), junction temperature (≤100 °C), and JEDEC level 2a preconditioning compliance for reliable SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The VLMY3102-GS08 uses GaAsP-on-GaP semiconductor technology to emit yellow light with peak wavelength at 585 nm and narrow dominant wavelength binning (581–594 nm). Its non-diffused lens enables efficient coupling to light pipes and uniform flat backlighting.
It operates within -40 to +100 °C ambient range, supports IR/reflow/vapor-phase/wave soldering per J-STD-020 and CECC 00802, and maintains luminous intensity ratio IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within each tape reel-ensuring consistent brightness across production units.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 7.1–18 mcd @ 10 mA - defines visible brightness level for human-perceivable indicators |
| Dominant wavelength | 581–594 nm - specifies yellow chromaticity compliant with color-coded UI standards |
| Forward voltage | 2.1–2.8 V @ 20 mA - determines minimum driver headroom and power dissipation (≤56 mW) |

| Low power consumption | Rated 20 mA max @ 2.8 V yields ≤56 mW dissipation-reduces thermal load in dense indicator arrays |
Applications
| Office Equipment Indicator | Audio/Video Backlight |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Status indication on printers, copiers, and multifunction devices requiring high-visibility yellow feedback under ambient lighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete optical emitter providing user-facing visual status without microcontroller GPIO overhead. Use Value: ±60° viewing angle ensures legibility from multiple angles; 7.1–18 mcd intensity meets IEC 62368-1 indicator luminance requirements. | Use Scenario: Front-panel key backlighting in AV receivers and streaming boxes where color differentiation (yellow vs red/green) aids function identification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive current-driven light source synchronized to system power rail-no timing or control interface required. Use Value: Non-diffused lens couples efficiently into molded light pipes; dominant wavelength 581–594 nm delivers saturated yellow distinct from adjacent indicators. |
| LCD Symbol Backlight | Telecom Device Indicator |
Use Scenario: Uniform edge-lit illumination behind transparent symbols on monochrome LCDs in industrial HMIs and test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current biased emitter operating in DC mode-no PWM or modulation needed for static backlighting. Use Value: Low profile (1.75 mm height) allows integration beneath thin front overlays; thermal resistance (400 K/W) supports continuous operation at 70 °C ambient. | Use Scenario: Call-waiting or line-status indication in VoIP phones and fax machines where yellow conveys intermediate alert states. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone LED driven by simple transistor switch or logic buffer-no protocol or data interface involved. Use Value: GaAsP-on-GaP technology provides stable wavelength over temperature (±0.1 nm/°C drift); JEDEC level 2a rating ensures reliability after board storage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LYT670K1L2 | OSRAM equivalent; same yellow dominant wavelength (581–594 nm), identical PLCC-2 package, but luminous intensity binned 7.1–18 mcd @ 10 mA matches VLMY3102-GS08 exactly | No functional difference in indicator or backlight use cases; validated for same solder profiles and moisture sensitivity level | Select LYT670K1L2 when dual-sourcing from OSRAM is required for supply chain diversification |
| VLMY3101-GS08 | Same Vishay family, lower intensity tier (4.5–11.2 mcd @ 10 mA), identical electrical specs and package-only luminous output differs | Suitable where reduced brightness suffices (e.g., dim ambient environments), but not drop-in for designs requiring ≥7.1 mcd minimum | Choose VLMY3101-GS08 only if brightness margin allows; verify optical performance in final assembly |
Compared with LYT670K1L2 and VLMY3101-GS08, the VLMY3102-GS08 provides the highest guaranteed luminous intensity in its yellow PLCC-2 class while maintaining identical thermal, mechanical, and soldering specifications-making it optimal for high-visibility applications where brightness consistency is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMY3102-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMY3102-GS08 is 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤74 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated degradation or thermal failure. Derating is required above 74 °C per Fig. 1 in the datasheet, and surge current is limited to 0.34 A for pulses ≤10 μs. Always operate VLMY3102-GS08 within these boundaries to ensure rated lifetime.
Does VLMY3102-GS08 require special handling for moisture sensitivity?
Yes, VLMY3102-GS08 is classified per JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 2a and shipped in dry-packed antistatic reels with humidity indicator cards. After opening the bag, it must be mounted within 672 hours at <30 °C/60 % RH or stored at <10 % RH. If exposed beyond limits, baking at 60 °C for 96 hours under <5 % RH is required before reflow-failure to comply may cause popcorning during soldering.
What is the dominant wavelength range specified for VLMY3102-GS08?
The dominant wavelength for VLMY3102-GS08 is specified as 581–594 nm at 10 mA forward current, placing it firmly in the yellow region of the visible spectrum. This range is verified per JEDEC test conditions (25 ms pulse width) and enables consistent color matching across production lots-critical for multi-LED user interfaces where chromatic uniformity matters.
Can VLMY3102-GS08 be used in wave soldering processes?
Yes, VLMY3102-GS08 is qualified for wave soldering per CECC 00802, with peak lead temperature limited to 235–260 °C for ≤5 s. The device's PLCC-2 package and leadframe construction withstand thermal shock, but double-wave profiles (first preheat, second solder) are recommended to minimize thermal stress. Refer to Fig. 28 in the datasheet for validated process windows.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMY3102-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes Vishay's standard 8 mm carrier tape packaging option containing 1500 pieces per reel, compliant with DIN IEC 40 (CO) 564. It specifies antistatic blister tape with top cover, optimized for high-speed pick-and-place machines. GS18 (8000 pcs/reel) is also available but GS08 is the default configuration for VLMY3102-GS08 ordering.
