VLMG3105-GS18

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The VLMG3105-GS18 is a single-color green light-emitting diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. It utilizes a surface-mount PLCC-2 package with dimensions of 3 mm in length, 2.8 mm in width, and 1.75 mm in height. The device emits green light at a peak wavelength of 565 nm with a viewing angle of ±60 degrees. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 2.2 V at a forward current of 20 mA and a power rating of 100 mW. The lens is clear and non-diffused, providing high brightness for indicator applications.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Surface-mount PLCC-2 package design for automated assembly
• Green emission with clear non-diffused lens for direct visibility
• Wide operating temperature range suitable for industrial environments

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Instrumentation displays
• Consumer electronics status lights

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GS18 to confirm tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets as manufacturing processes may evolve. Check for obsolescence notices from Vishay before finalizing component selection for long-term production runs.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard green SMD LED with PLCC-2 footprint is required. Ensure circuit design accommodates the 2.2 V forward voltage drop at 20 mA. Verify mechanical clearance for the 1.75 mm height profile within the target enclosure design constraints.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay VLM series of standard surface-mount LEDs. The series offers various colors including red, green, yellow, and blue in the same PLCC-2 form factor to simplify supply chain management and PCB layout standardization across different product lines.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same series include VLME3105-GS18 (Yellow) or VLMR3105-GS18 (Red) if color change is acceptable. For identical green specifications, verify equivalent PLCC-2 packages from other manufacturers ensuring matching luminous intensity and forward voltage parameters.
