Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VLMP3101-GS08 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Color: Green
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Wavelength - Dominant: 560nm (acceptable range for green indication)
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf) Typical: 2.1V
• Current - Test: 10mA
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, J-Lead or equivalent footprint compatibility

The substitute parts identified maintain the core functional parameters of green LED indication with compatible electrical characteristics and surface mount capability. Variations in millicandela rating and specific package dimensions are noted where they occur, as these may impact circuit design considerations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

VLMP3100-GS08 (Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division): This part is the primary equivalent for the obsolete VLMP3101-GS08. It maintains identical electrical specifications (2.1V forward voltage, 10mA test current), identical package dimensions (3.00mm L x 2.80mm W x 1.85mm H), and identical viewing angle (120°). The wavelength-dominant specification remains at 560nm. The VLMP3100-GS08 carries Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The millicandela rating increases from 3.15mcd to 4mcd, representing a minor brightness increase suitable for most indication applications. This part is recommended as the direct replacement for new designs and production continuity.

67-11/GHC-AT2V1/2T (Everlight Electronics Co Ltd): This part provides an alternative green LED indication solution with Active product status. It maintains the 120° viewing angle and green color specification. The dominant wavelength shifts to 527nm, representing a shift toward yellow-green within the green spectrum. The millicandela rating is significantly higher at 630mcd. The package footprint differs (1411/3528 Metric vs. 2-SMD J-Lead), with reduced height (0.80mm vs. 1.85mm). Electrical parameters (forward voltage and test current) are not specified for this part. This substitute is suitable only where PCB layout accommodates the different package dimensions and where the increased brightness and wavelength shift are acceptable for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VLMP3100-GS08 be used as a direct replacement for VLMP3101-GS08?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division, share identical package dimensions (3.00mm L x 2.80mm W x 1.85mm H), identical electrical specifications (2.1V forward voltage, 10mA test current), and identical viewing angle (120°). The VLMP3100-GS08 is Active status, addressing the obsolescence of the VLMP3101-GS08. The brightness increase from 3.15mcd to 4mcd is minor and compatible with standard indication circuit designs.

Q: What are the key differences between VLMP3100-GS08 and 67-11/GHC-AT2V1/2T?

A: The primary differences are package type, physical dimensions, and brightness. VLMP3100-GS08 uses a 2-SMD J-Lead package with 1.85mm height, while 67-11/GHC-AT2V1/2T uses a 1411 (3528 Metric) package with 0.80mm height. The 67-11/GHC-AT2V1/2T delivers significantly higher brightness (630mcd vs. 4mcd) and operates at a shorter wavelength (527nm vs. 560nm). Electrical parameters are not specified for the Everlight part.

Q: Is the wavelength shift from 560nm to 527nm significant?

A: The shift from 560nm (yellow-green) to 527nm (pure green) represents a perceptible color change. Both wavelengths fall within the green spectrum and are suitable for indication applications. Circuit design and visual appearance requirements determine acceptability. The 67-11/GHC-AT2V1/2T should be evaluated in the target application before production implementation.

Q: Can the 67-11/GHC-AT2V1/2T be used in existing PCB layouts designed for VLMP3101-GS08?

A: No. The 67-11/GHC-AT2V1/2T uses a different package type (1411/3528 Metric) with different footprint dimensions. PCB layout modification is required. The reduced height (0.80mm vs. 1.85mm) may also affect solder reflow profiles and assembly considerations.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each substitute part?

A: VLMP3101-GS08 and VLMP3100-GS08 are both ROHS3 Compliant with REACH Unaffected status. Compliance information for 67-11/GHC-AT2V1/2T is not specified in the available data.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for new designs?

A: VLMP3100-GS08 is recommended for new designs. It provides direct compatibility with existing VLMP3101-GS08 designs, maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, and carries Active product status with full compliance documentation.
