Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TLME3100-GS08 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Package / Case type: 2-SMD, J-Lead or 2-PLCC
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Wavelength range: 588-590nm dominant wavelength
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Forward Voltage: 2V nominal
• Test Current: 10mA

Identified Substitutes:

VLME3100-GS08 (Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division) - Direct manufacturer alternative with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Active product status with higher inventory availability. Millicandela rating of 45mcd represents a minor reduction from the original 50mcd specification.

HSMA-A100-Q00J1 (Broadcom Limited) - Cross-manufacturer substitute with compatible 2-PLCC package and surface mount configuration. Operates at 1.9V forward voltage with 20mA test current. Amber color (590nm dominant wavelength) with 100mcd brightness rating. Mechanical dimensions differ slightly (3.20mm L × 2.80mm W, 2.10mm height maximum).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

VLME3100-GS08 is the primary substitute for the obsolete TLME3100-GS08. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division and share identical package geometry, electrical characteristics, and compliance certifications. The VLME3100-GS08 maintains active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (7900 pcs vs. 798 pcs). The 45mcd brightness rating represents a 10% reduction from the original specification but remains within typical application tolerances for indication lighting.

HSMA-A100-Q00J1 from Broadcom Limited serves as a secondary cross-manufacturer alternative. This component maintains surface mount compatibility and 2-PLCC packaging but introduces the following design considerations: amber color classification (590nm dominant wavelength vs. 588nm yellow), reduced forward voltage (1.9V vs. 2V), doubled test current (20mA vs. 10mA), and increased brightness (100mcd vs. 50mcd). Mechanical dimensions differ slightly with increased height (2.10mm vs. 1.85mm) and length (3.20mm vs. 3.00mm). All three components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VLME3100-GS08 be used as a direct replacement for TLME3100-GS08?

A: Yes. Both components share identical package geometry (3.00mm L × 2.80mm W × 1.85mm H), electrical specifications (2V forward voltage, 10mA test current), and wavelength characteristics (588nm dominant, 590nm peak). The 45mcd brightness rating of the VLME3100-GS08 represents a minor reduction from the original 50mcd specification. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and 2A MSL rating.

Q: What are the key differences between VLME3100-GS08 and HSMA-A100-Q00J1?

A: The VLME3100-GS08 maintains yellow color (588nm) with 2V forward voltage and 10mA test current. The HSMA-A100-Q00J1 is amber-colored (590nm) with 1.9V forward voltage and 20mA test current. The Broadcom component delivers higher brightness (100mcd vs. 45mcd) but requires increased current and occupies slightly larger board space (3.20mm L × 2.80mm W × 2.10mm H vs. 3.00mm L × 2.80mm W × 1.85mm H).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: The TLME3100-GS08 and VLME3100-GS08 both use 2-SMD, J-Lead packaging. The HSMA-A100-Q00J1 uses 2-PLCC packaging. All three components are surface mount devices compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment. Packaging format affects tape reel specifications and component handling but does not impact electrical compatibility.

Q: Do all three components meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. TLME3100-GS08, VLME3100-GS08, and HSMA-A100-Q00J1 all maintain ROHS3 compliance, 2A MSL rating (4 weeks), REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification. All components are suitable for applications requiring equivalent regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the TLME3100-GS08?

A: The TLME3100-GS08 is classified as obsolete. The VLME3100-GS08 provides an active product alternative from the same manufacturer with superior inventory availability and identical specifications. The HSMA-A100-Q00J1 offers a cross-manufacturer option for applications where increased brightness or alternative sourcing is beneficial.
