VLMF3100-GS18 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VLMF3100-GS18 is an orange 605nm LED indication component manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. This surface-mount device operates at 2V forward voltage with a 90mcd luminous intensity rating and features a clear round lens with flat top design. The component is actively produced and maintains ROHS3 compliance with 2A moisture sensitivity level. Substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility when primary inventory is constrained or when alternative sourcing is required for supply chain optimization.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The VLMF3100-GS18 has one identified parametric equivalent: VLMF3100-GS08. Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Wavelength characteristics (dominant 605nm, peak 590nm)
• Forward voltage (2V typical)
• Test current (10mA)
• Luminous intensity (90mcd)
• Viewing angle (120°)
• Lens geometry (round with flat top, 2.40mm diameter)
• Mounting configuration (surface mount, 2-SMD J-Lead)
• Physical dimensions (3.00mm L x 2.80mm W, 1.85mm max height)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)
• Moisture sensitivity (2A, 4 Weeks)

Both parts belong to the VLM3 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution is based on parametric equivalence within the same product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both VLMF3100-GS18 and VLMF3100-GS08 are active products from Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications. The 2A moisture sensitivity level with 4-week floor life applies uniformly across both parts and requires standard moisture control during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VLMF3100-GS08 be used as a direct replacement for VLMF3100-GS18?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent across all electrical and mechanical specifications, including forward voltage, luminous intensity, wavelength characteristics, viewing angle, and physical dimensions. They share identical package geometry (2-SMD, J-Lead, 2-PLCC) and mounting requirements.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance or regulatory status between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 Weeks) is the same for both components.

Q: What determines the substitution relationship between these parts?

A: Substitution is based on strict parametric equivalence: identical wavelength (605nm dominant, 590nm peak), forward voltage (2V), test current (10mA), luminous intensity (90mcd), viewing angle (120°), lens geometry, mounting type, and physical dimensions. Both parts belong to the VLM3 series.

Q: Are there any performance differences in optical output?

A: No. Both parts specify 90mcd luminous intensity, 120° viewing angle, and identical lens design (round with flat top, 2.40mm diameter). Optical performance is equivalent.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Identical package specifications (3.00mm L x 2.80mm W, 1.85mm max height) and J-Lead configuration ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability in surface-mount applications without design modification.
