Product details
Overview
VLMB1302-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a blue InGaN-based surface-mount LED in 0603 package (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.8 mm), delivering 45–112 mcd luminous intensity at 20 mA, with dominant wavelength 465–475 nm and forward voltage 2.8–3.8 V. It serves as a compact, high-brightness indicator in space-constrained consumer and industrial displays.
For engineers reviewing the VLMB1302-GS08 datasheet, VLMB1302-GS08 pinout, VLMB1302-GS08 application, or VLMB1302-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0603 footprint compatibility, ±65° viewing angle, JEDEC Level 3 preconditioning, IR reflow solderability, and InGaN technology-specific absolute maximum ratings (IF = 20 mA, Tamb = –20 to +80 °C).
Technical Context
This device belongs to Vishay's Highbright 0603 ChipLED family, engineered for miniaturized visual indication where board area and profile height are critical. Its InGaN die enables stable blue emission with spectral line half-width of 25 nm and junction capacitance ≤40 pF at 1 MHz.
Designed for DC operation only, VLMB1302-GS08 operates within strict thermal limits: power dissipation ≤76 mW at Tamb ≤25 °C, and requires dry-pack handling per JESD22-A112 Level 3 due to moisture sensitivity. Reverse voltage rating is not specified for this variant-only VLMB1310 includes an integrated protection diode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 45–112 mcd at 20 mA - defines visible brightness level under standard drive, enabling reliable human-readable indication at low current |
| Dominant wavelength | 465–475 nm - specifies precise blue chromaticity suitable for color-coded status or RGB mixing applications |
| Forward voltage | 2.8–3.8 V at 20 mA - determines minimum supply headroom and series resistor sizing for constant-current biasing |
| Viewing angle | ±65° (130° total) - ensures wide angular visibility without requiring precise optical alignment in front-panel designs |
| Package dimensions | 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.8 mm - fits 0603 land pattern, enabling high-density LED arrays on compact PCBs |
| Operating temperature | –20 °C to +80 °C - supports deployment in non-automotive industrial environments with moderate thermal cycling |
| Moisture sensitivity | JESD22-A112 Level 3 - mandates dry storage or baking before reflow to prevent popcorning during soldering |
Pinout & Package
VLMB1302-GS08 uses a standard 2-terminal SMD 0603 package with cathode marked by a notch or polarity indicator on the top surface. The device has no internal IC functionality - it is a passive two-terminal light-emitting diode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive terminal | Connected to current-limiting resistor and supply rail; reverse connection blocks conduction |
| Cathode (K) | Negative terminal | Marked physically on package; must be tied to ground or low-side switch node for forward bias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Super-thin 0603 profile | 0.8 mm height enables integration into ultra-low-profile assemblies such as slim keypads and wearable interfaces |
| InGaN blue emitter | Delivers spectrally stable blue output with narrow 25 nm spectral width, supporting consistent color matching across batches |
| Wide viewing angle | 130° total beam angle eliminates need for external diffusers or lenses in front-panel indicator applications |
| JEDEC Level 3 compliant | Enables standard SMT assembly using IR reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak, provided moisture preconditioning is followed |
| Tape-and-reel packaging | Supplied in 8 mm tape on 7″ reel (3000 pcs/reel), compatible with high-speed pick-and-place equipment |

Use Value: Wide 130° viewing angle ensures legibility from multiple operator positions without directional aiming. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar blue LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMB1300-GS08 | Luminous intensity range 28–180 mcd (lower min, higher max); same wavelength, VF, and package | Better suited for applications needing wider intensity binning tolerance or higher upper-range output | Select when design requires higher maximum brightness or accepts lower minimum intensity at 20 mA |
| VLMB1310-GS08 | Includes integrated Zener protection diode (HBM 8000 V); identical optical/electrical specs otherwise | Required in ESD-prone environments where board-level protection is impractical or cost-prohibitive | Choose only if system-level ESD immunity >8 kV HBM is mandated and layout cannot accommodate discrete protection |
Compared with VLMB1300-GS08 and VLMB1310-GS08, VLMB1302-GS08 offers a mid-range luminous intensity band (45–112 mcd) optimized for consistent visibility without overdriving, while omitting the protection diode to reduce forward voltage variation and cost where ESD risk is mitigated elsewhere.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMB1302-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMB1302-GS08 is 20 mA at Tamb = 25 °C, as specified in the InGaN technology section of the datasheet. Exceeding this value risks accelerated degradation or thermal runaway. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient - see Figure 1 for IF vs. Tamb curves. Always verify thermal design margins when operating near maximum ratings in VLMB1302-GS08 applications.
Does VLMB1302-GS08 have built-in ESD protection?
No, VLMB1302-GS08 does not include an integrated protection diode. Unlike VLMB1310-GS08 (which features an HBM 8000 V Zener clamp), VLMB1302-GS08 relies on external board-level ESD safeguards. Its reverse voltage rating is unspecified - reverse bias should be avoided. System designers must implement appropriate I/O protection if VLMB1302-GS08 is exposed to handling or interface transients.
What is the viewing angle specification for VLMB1302-GS08?
VLMB1302-GS08 has an angle of half intensity of ±65°, resulting in a total viewing angle of 130°. This is measured at IF = 20 mA and defines the angular range over which luminous intensity remains ≥50% of the on-axis value. The wide dispersion supports broad-angle readability without optical aids, making VLMB1302-GS08 ideal for user-facing indicators where viewing position varies.
Can VLMB1302-GS08 be used with lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, VLMB1302-GS08 is qualified for lead-free IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020C, with a peak package body temperature limit of 260 °C (max 10 s dwell time). It complies with Vishay's Pb-free reflow profile (Fig. 20), including ramp rates ≤3 °C/s up and ≤6 °C/s down. Preconditioning to JEDEC Level 3 is mandatory prior to reflow to prevent moisture-induced damage during heating.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMB1302-GS08?
VLMB1302-GS08 falls into the Q luminous intensity group (45–112 mcd), as defined in the datasheet's classification table. Each reel ships with devices from a single intensity bin only - no mixing across groups. This guarantees consistent brightness across all units on a given reel, simplifying optical calibration and eliminating post-assembly sorting for VLMB1302-GS08 deployments.
