Product details
Overview
VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a soft orange power MiniLED in a 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm SMD package, delivering 90–224 mcd luminous intensity at 20 mA, with dominant wavelength 598–611 nm and forward voltage 2.0–2.6 V. It serves as a high-brightness indicator or backlighting element in automotive dashboards, industrial control panels, and office equipment under harsh ambient conditions.
For engineers reviewing the VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 datasheet, VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 pinout, VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 application, or VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, ±60° viewing angle, luminous intensity binning (Group S), non-diffused lens for light-pipe coupling, and compatibility with IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This 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 a narrow dominant wavelength range (598–611 nm) and tight luminous intensity ratio (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within one reel), ensuring consistent color and brightness across production units.
AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for automotive-grade reliability, while the non-diffused lens and ±60° half-intensity angle support precise light directionality in space-constrained backlighting and indicator applications. Absolute maximum ratings include 30 mA DC forward current, 5 V reverse voltage, and operating temperature from –40 °C to +100 °C.

Use Value: Non-diffused lens and ±60° viewing angle deliver focused, glare-free illumination ideal for user-facing interfaces. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar visible-light indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMK23P2S1-GS08 | Red emission (630 nm dominant), lower luminous intensity (56–224 mcd), same package and AEC-Q101 rating | Better suited for high-contrast red-alert indicators; not color-matched to soft orange systems | Select when red signaling is required and chromaticity must match VLMK-series design heritage |
| VLME23Q2T1-GS08 | Yellow emission (581–594 nm), higher max intensity (355 mcd), identical package and thermal specs | Preferred for warm-yellow status lighting where higher brightness offsets ambient light better than orange | Choose for applications needing greater lumen output in yellow spectrum, especially in bright ambient environments |
Compared with VLMF23Q2S1-GS08, VLMK23P2S1-GS08 offers red chromaticity at lower typical intensity, while VLME23Q2T1-GS08 delivers yellow light with up to 59 % higher max luminous intensity - both share the same mechanical footprint and AEC-Q101 qualification but serve distinct color-critical use cases.

FAQ
What is the dominant wavelength range specified for VLMF23Q2S1-GS08?
The dominant wavelength range for VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 is 598 nm (minimum) to 611 nm (maximum) at 20 mA forward current, defining its soft orange chromaticity. This range is binned per color group 1–6 in the Vishay documentation, and VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 falls within Group 2 (600–603 nm) or Group 3 (602–605 nm), depending on actual device measurement. The specification ensures consistent color appearance across production reels.
Is VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming it meets stress-test requirements for automotive electronics including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock. This qualification supports its use in dashboard backlighting, switch illumination, and other under-hood or cabin-mounted visible-light functions where reliability over extended temperature ranges (–40 °C to +100 °C) is critical.
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMF23Q2S1-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 is 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤80 °C. Operating continuously at this level requires thermal management - e.g., adequate copper pour - due to its 580 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. For reliable long-term operation, Vishay recommends 20 mA as the standard test and typical drive condition, balancing brightness, efficiency, and lifetime.
Does VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 have a diffused or non-diffused lens?
VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 features a non-diffused lens, explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet as "excellent for coupling to light pipes and backlighting." This optical design preserves beam directionality and intensity, enabling efficient light transfer into edge-lit displays or molded light guides - unlike diffused LEDs that scatter light broadly for wide-angle viewing.
What packaging format is used for VLMF23Q2S1-GS08?
VLMF23Q2S1-GS08 is supplied in an 8 mm tape carrier with GS08 designation indicating 3000 pieces per reel. The tape complies with EIA-481 standards, includes leader/trailer sections (≥400 mm leader, ≥200 mm trailer), and uses cover tape with peel strength of 0.1–1.3 N at 165–180° angle. Each reel carries a Vishay-standard bar code label containing part number, quantity, batch code, and environmental compliance data (RoHS, halogen-free).
