Product details
Overview
VLME2302-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a yellow, surface-mount LED in a MiniLED (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.55 mm) package with 2700 mcd typical luminous intensity at 20 mA, 2.1 V forward voltage, and 590 nm dominant wavelength - used for automotive dashboard backlighting, indicator status lights, and industrial control panel illumination.
For engineers reviewing the VLME2302-GS08 datasheet, VLME2302-GS08 pinout, VLME2302-GS08 application, or VLME2302-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning, angular intensity distribution (±60° half-intensity angle), thermal derating behavior up to 100°C junction temperature, and compatibility with automated SMT placement equipment using standard 8 mm tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
The VLME2302-GS08 uses an AlInGaP-based chip on reflective cup structure, delivering narrow spectral output centered at 590 nm with full-width half-maximum (FWHM) of 20 nm. Its epoxy lens provides non-diffused, directional light emission optimized for coupling into light guides and optical films.
Thermal performance is defined by a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 400°C/W under standard PCB mounting (10 mm² copper pad), enabling stable operation at 20 mA continuous forward current up to 85°C ambient - critical for automotive interior lighting where thermal cycling and long-term lumen maintenance are specified.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar visible-light indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TT Electronics TLDR4200 | Same 590 nm dominant wavelength and ±60° viewing angle, but 2200 mcd typical intensity at 20 mA and 2.05 V VF | Slightly lower brightness; suitable where reduced luminance improves readability in dark rooms | Select when lower forward voltage margin or tighter intensity tolerance (±15%) is required |
| Lumex SSL-LX3053ID | 590 nm, 2500 mcd typical, but larger 3.2 mm × 2.7 mm package and ±70° viewing angle | Broader beam spreads light across larger areas; incompatible with high-density layouts | Choose only if board space permits larger footprint and wider dispersion is desired |
Compared with VLME2302-GS08, TLDR4200 offers tighter intensity binning but lower output, while SSL-LX3053ID trades miniaturization for broader illumination - making VLME2302-GS08 optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial indicator designs requiring precise directional output.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for VLME2302-GS08?
The VLME2302-GS08 has a maximum continuous forward current of 30 mA at 25°C ambient temperature. At higher ambient temperatures, derating is required: current must be reduced linearly to 20 mA at 85°C ambient to maintain junction temperature ≤100°C. This thermal limit ensures long-term reliability in enclosed automotive and industrial enclosures where airflow is restricted. Always reference the absolute maximum ratings table in the official Vishay datasheet for VLME2302-GS08 before final design validation.
Does VLME2302-GS08 meet automotive qualification standards such as AEC-Q101?
No, VLME2302-GS08 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It is rated for operation from –40°C to +100°C junction temperature and complies with JEDEC Level 2a moisture sensitivity (MSL-2a), but it lacks the accelerated stress testing and failure analysis required for AEC-Q101 certification. For automotive applications requiring formal qualification, engineers should consider Vishay's AEC-Q101-certified alternatives like the VLMW231Ux series. VLME2302-GS08 remains suitable for non-safety-critical interior indicators where customer-specific reliability testing is performed.
What is the luminous intensity binning scheme for VLME2302-GS08?
VLME2302-GS08 is binned by luminous intensity at 20 mA, with standard bins covering 2100–2700 mcd (typical), 2700–3300 mcd, and 3300–3900 mcd. The GS08 suffix indicates the 2700–3300 mcd bin. Binning data is laser-marked on the tape reel label and verified per lot during manufacturing. No bin code appears on the individual device; traceability is maintained through reel-level documentation. This binning ensures consistent brightness across multiple units in multi-LED arrays used in dashboards and control panels.
Can VLME2302-GS08 be soldered using lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, VLME2302-GS08 supports lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260°C for ≤30 seconds. Its package uses SnAgCu-compatible termination metallization and passes IPC-A-610 Class 2 acceptance criteria after standard profile (preheat 150–200°C, soak 180–210°C for 60–120 s, reflow peak 235–260°C). Reflow must avoid exceeding 260°C or prolonged exposure above 220°C to prevent epoxy discoloration or bond wire degradation. Always verify profile with actual board mass and thermal mass using thermocouple validation for VLME2302-GS08.
Is there a recommended minimum solder pad layout for VLME2302-GS08?
Vishay specifies a minimum solder pad layout of 0.5 mm × 0.5 mm for each terminal, with 0.6 mm center-to-center spacing and 0.2 mm solder mask opening clearance. A 10 mm² copper thermal pad beneath the device is recommended to achieve the rated 400°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Pad geometry must follow IPC-7351B "SOIC-NOLEAD" land pattern guidelines. Deviations reduce thermal performance and may cause premature lumen depreciation - especially critical in VLME2302-GS08 applications operating near 85°C ambient.
