VLMH3102-GS18

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The VLMH3102-GS18 is a single-color red LED from Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division, housed in a PLCC-2 surface-mount package. It features a clear, non-diffused lens with a round flat top design and a 2.40 mm diameter. The component operates at a typical forward voltage of 2V and a test current of 20mA. It provides a viewing angle of 120 degrees, ensuring wide visibility for indicator applications.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Surface-mount PLCC-2 package construction
• Clear non-diffused round flat top lens
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Equipment power indicators
• Control board signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm exact luminous intensity ranges and binning codes, as these parameters can vary between manufacturing lots. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for PLCC-2 packages. Confirm that the 2V forward voltage rating aligns with the target circuit design requirements before finalizing procurement.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard red SMD indicator is required in a PLCC-2 footprint. The 120-degree viewing angle makes it suitable for applications requiring broad visual coverage. Verify that the 2V forward voltage drop is compatible with the driving logic levels and current limiting resistors in the target electronic system design.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the VLMx series of single-color LEDs manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. The series utilizes a standardized PLCC-2 form factor common in surface-mount electronics. The GS18 suffix typically denotes specific packaging or tape-and-reel configuration details defined by the manufacturer's internal coding standards.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the PLCC-2 package dimensions, 625nm wavelength, and 2V forward voltage characteristics. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' PLCC-2 red LEDs to ensure pinout compatibility and thermal performance alignment.
