Product details
Overview
VLMF2300-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a soft orange power MiniLED SMD device in a 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm low-profile package, delivering 56–112 mcd luminous intensity at 20 mA, with dominant wavelength 598–611 nm and ±60° viewing angle - deployed in automotive dashboard backlighting and industrial indicator applications.
For engineers reviewing the VLMF2300-GS08 datasheet, VLMF2300-GS08 pinout, VLMF2300-GS08 application, or VLMF2300-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, luminous intensity binning (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel), non-diffused lens for light-pipe coupling, and IR reflow compatibility per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
The VLMF2300-GS08 is an AlInGaP-on-GaAs LED optimized for high-brightness, low-power indicator and backlight functions in constrained PCB spaces. Its optical design features a non-diffused lens and ±60° half-intensity angle, enabling precise light directionality without secondary optics.
Electrically, it operates at 20 mA DC forward current (30 mA absolute max), with forward voltage 2.0–2.6 V and junction capacitance 15 pF at 0 V/1 MHz. Thermal resistance is 580 K/W when mounted on ≥5 mm² copper pad, supporting operation from –40 °C to +100 °C ambient.

|
Use Scenario: Low-power status indicators on multifunction printers, scanners, and networked peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direct-drive LED from MCU port pins or low-dropout linear regulator outputs. Use Value: 20 mA typical drive current and 2.0–2.6 V VF enable efficient operation from 3.3 V rails with minimal heat generation. |
Use Scenario: Edge-lit keypad backlighting in VoIP phones and fax machines requiring even illumination across alphanumeric keys. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Coupled to light guide via non-diffused lens; driven by PWM-controlled constant-current source. Use Value: Tight luminous intensity binning (≤1.6 ratio) eliminates visible brightness mismatch between adjacent keys in multi-LED arrays. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OSRAM LOM676 | Same soft orange dominant wavelength range (598–611 nm); identical 2.3 × 1.3 mm package; luminous intensity 55–110 mcd at 20 mA | Qualified to AEC-Q102 (automotive optoelectronics), not AEC-Q101; different moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3 vs. MSL 2a) | Select LOM676 when automotive optical safety certification (AEC-Q102) is required over discrete component qualification |
| Vishay VLMK2300-GS08 | Super red emission (630 nm dominant); higher VF (1.9–2.6 V); same package, binning, and AEC-Q101 qualification | Used where red signaling is mandated (e.g., warning indicators, brake status), not color-matched orange interfaces | Choose VLMK2300-GS08 for red-coded alerts; VLMF2300-GS08 remains optimal for neutral-orange status and backlighting |
Compared with OSRAM LOM676 and Vishay VLMK2300-GS08, the VLMF2300-GS08 uniquely balances soft orange chromaticity, AEC-Q101 compliance, and tight luminous intensity binning - making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial UI backlighting where color fidelity and batch consistency are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for VLMF2300-GS08?
The VLMF2300-GS08 has a DC forward current rating of 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤80 °C. Operation at 20 mA is recommended for nominal brightness and thermal stability. Exceeding 30 mA risks accelerated degradation and violates the absolute maximum ratings specified in Vishay Document 81219 Rev. 2.0.
Is VLMF2300-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, VLMF2300-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming its suitability for automotive interior applications including dashboard backlighting and switch illumination. It meets stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per the AEC-Q101 standard, as documented in Vishay's official qualification report referenced in datasheet 81219.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMF2300-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging: GS = standard carrier tape format, 08 = 3000 pieces per reel. This matches the tape dimensions, leader/trailer lengths, and peel strength specifications defined in Vishay Document 81219, ensuring compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMF2300-GS08?
VLMF2300-GS08 is binned such that the ratio of maximum to minimum luminous intensity (IVmax/IVmin) within a single reel is ≤1.6. Each reel contains only one brightness group - no mixing - ensuring consistent brightness across assemblies without post-production sorting.
Does VLMF2300-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
VLMF2300-GS08 is shipped in moisture-barrier bags labeled per JESD22-A112 Level 2a. If the bag is opened and ambient conditions exceed 30 °C/60 % RH, baking is required before reflow: 96 hours at 60 °C +5 °C and <5 % RH, or 192 hours at 40 °C +5 °C and <5 % RH - per Vishay's dry packing guidelines in Document 81219.
