It serves as a high-brightness indicator or backlight source in automotive dashboards, industrial control panels, and office equipment displays.
For engineers reviewing the VLME23Q2T1-GS08 datasheet, VLME23Q2T1-GS08 pinout, VLME23Q2T1-GS08 application, or VLME23Q2T1-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, ±60° viewing angle, non-diffused lens for light-pipe coupling, luminous intensity binning (Group T), and compatibility with IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This yellow AlInGaP-on-GaAs LED operates at 20 mA DC forward current with thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 580 K/W when mounted on a PCB pad >5 mm². Its optical performance is characterized by dominant wavelength range 581–594 nm and peak wavelength ~590 nm, enabling precise color matching in multi-color UIs.
The device supports surge forward current up to 100 mA for ≤10 μs and withstands reverse voltage up to 5 V. With operating temperature range −40 °C to +100 °C and junction temperature limit +125 °C, it meets reliability requirements for under-hood automotive and industrial environments.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone status LED with high luminous intensity (170 mcd typ.) visible under bright ambient lighting. Use Value: Tight luminous intensity binning (Group T) eliminates brightness mismatch across multiple units on the same panel. | Use Scenario: Indicating power-on, mute, or input selection on audio receivers, soundbars, and video processors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power visual feedback element with 2.0–2.6 V forward voltage compatible with 3.3 V supply rails. Use Value: Low power consumption (<80 mW at 20 mA) minimizes heat buildup in thermally constrained enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar yellow LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LYM676Q2T1 | OSRAM cross-reference; identical luminous intensity bin (T), dominant wavelength (581–594 nm), and package outline | Same AEC-Q101 qualification and reflow profile; differs only in manufacturer-specific test methodology and traceability | Select LYM676Q2T1 when OSRAM-sourced supply chain or dual-sourcing strategy is required |
| VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 | Soft orange variant (605 nm typ.); lower luminous intensity range (180–224 mcd) and different bin group (S) | Suitable for applications requiring warmer hue but not direct color replacement; not interchangeable where yellow spectral purity is mandatory | Choose VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 only if soft orange color is acceptable and brightness tolerance allows S-group variation |
Compared with VLME23Q2T1-GS08, LYM676Q2T1 offers identical photometric and mechanical specs with alternate sourcing, while VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 shifts chromaticity toward orange and reduces intensity consistency-making it unsuitable for strict yellow-only or Group T–dependent designs.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity range of VLME23Q2T1-GS08 at 20 mA?
The VLME23Q2T1-GS08 delivers a luminous intensity range of 90–355 mcd at 20 mA forward current, classified in Group T per Vishay's binning specification. This ensures consistent brightness across units shipped on the same reel, with IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6. The typical value is 170 mcd, measured at 25 °C ambient temperature using a 25 ms current pulse.
Is VLME23Q2T1-GS08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, VLME23Q2T1-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for automotive-grade reliability-including temperature cycling, humidity exposure, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life. It operates from −40 °C to +100 °C ambient and supports junction temperatures up to +125 °C, making it suitable for dashboard, switch, and interior lighting in vehicles.
What is the dominant wavelength specification for VLME23Q2T1-GS08?
The dominant wavelength of VLME23Q2T1-GS08 is specified as 581–594 nm at 20 mA, with a typical value of 588 nm. This places it firmly in the yellow region of the visible spectrum and distinguishes it from orange (e.g., VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 at 605 nm typ.) or red variants in the same MiniLED family.
Does VLME23Q2T1-GS08 have a diffused or non-diffused lens?
VLME23Q2T1-GS08 features a non-diffused lens, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet. This design maximizes light extraction efficiency and directional control-making it especially effective for coupling into light pipes, edge-lit backlights, and applications requiring focused illumination without scattering loss.
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLME23Q2T1-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLME23Q2T1-GS08 is 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤80 °C. For continuous operation, Vishay recommends 20 mA as the standard drive condition to balance brightness, thermal rise, and lifetime. Surge current up to 100 mA is allowed for pulses ≤10 μs, supporting brief flash or strobe use cases.
