TLMO1000-GS15

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The TLMO1000-GS15 is a single-color orange light-emitting diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. It utilizes a surface-mount 0603 (1608 metric) package with dimensions of 1.60mm length, 0.80mm width, and a maximum height of 0.65mm. The component features a rectangular lens with a flat top design and offers a viewing angle of 160 degrees. Electrically, it operates with a typical forward voltage of 1.8V at a test current of 2mA. The dominant wavelength is 605nm with a peak wavelength of 610nm. It holds AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and complies with RoHS3 standards.

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GS15 against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm exact optical and electrical tolerances. Ensure that the ordering quantity matches the available packaging options such as tape and reel or cut tape. Confirm that the intended application environment remains within the specified operating temperature range and that the AEC-Q101 qualification meets the project's automotive grade requirements.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a small footprint is required alongside automotive certification. The low forward current of 2mA makes it suitable for battery-powered or energy-efficient designs. Compare the 605nm orange output against other wavelengths if color coding is critical. Ensure the 0603 package size fits the mechanical constraints of the target assembly compared to larger LED packages.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the TLMx1000 series of low-current 0603 SMD LEDs from Vishay. The series is designed for applications requiring small size and high performance in demanding environments. The TLMO1000 variant specifically provides orange light emission. It shares the same physical package dimensions as other colors in the family but differs in spectral characteristics and forward voltage parameters.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay TLMx1000 series parts with identical 0603 footprints and AEC-Q101 qualification. Verify that alternative parts match the 605nm dominant wavelength and 1.8V forward voltage to ensure circuit compatibility without resistor adjustments.
