Overview
VLMG21J2M1-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a green MiniLED SMD package (2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm) with dominant wavelength 562–575 nm, luminous intensity 5.6–22.4 mcd at 10 mA, and forward voltage 2.1–2.8 V - designed for indicator and backlighting in compact, high-reliability industrial and automotive interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the VLMG21J2M1-GS08 datasheet, VLMG21J2M1-GS08 pinout, VLMG21J2M1-GS08 application, or VLMG21J2M1-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (M1 group), ±60° viewing angle, JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning, IR reflow compatibility, and GaP-on-GaP semiconductor technology for stable green emission under thermal stress.
Technical Context
The VLMG21J2M1-GS08 is a surface-mount green LED built on GaP-on-GaP epitaxial technology, delivering narrow spectral output centered at 572 nm typical with ±1 nm test accuracy. Its low-profile MiniLED package features non-diffused lens optics optimized for light-pipe coupling and uniform backlighting.
Rated for operation from −40 °C to +100 °C ambient, it supports 20 mA DC forward current and withstands 6 V reverse voltage. Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 480 K/W when mounted on a PCB pad >5 mm², enabling reliable performance in thermally constrained embedded displays and control panels.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar green SMD LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LGM670J2M1 | OSRAM-branded equivalent with identical optical/electrical specs and same MiniLED footprint | No functional difference; used interchangeably in automotive AEC-Q200-qualified designs | Select LGM670J2M1 when dual-sourcing or OSRAM supply chain alignment is required |
| VLMG21K1L2-GS08 | Higher minimum luminous intensity (7.1 mcd vs. 5.6 mcd) but narrower max intensity range (18 mcd vs. 22.4 mcd) | Better suited for applications requiring tighter brightness consistency over temperature, less ideal for high-visibility indicators | Choose VLMG21K1L2-GS08 where luminance uniformity across temperature is prioritized over peak output |
Compared with VLMG21J2M1-GS08, LGM670J2M1 offers identical performance and drop-in compatibility, while VLMG21K1L2-GS08 trades peak intensity for tighter binning - making the former ideal for supply diversification and the latter for thermally stable indicator clusters.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity range of the VLMG21J2M1-GS08 at 10 mA?
The VLMG21J2M1-GS08 has a luminous intensity range of 5.6–22.4 mcd at 10 mA forward current, corresponding to the M1 brightness bin. This range reflects factory-tested variation within a single reel, with IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 ensuring tight consistency for multi-LED user interfaces. The VLMG21J2M1-GS08 is binned during production to maintain this ratio across all units shipped together.
Does the VLMG21J2M1-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
No, the VLMG21J2M1-GS08 is preconditioned to JEDEC Level 2a and shipped in moisture-barrier packaging with an EIA JESD22-A112 label. It may be mounted within 672 hours of opening the dry bag under ≤30 °C/60 % RH conditions without baking. The VLMG21J2M1-GS08 is qualified for standard Pb-free IR reflow profiles peaking at 260 °C.
What is the dominant wavelength specification for the VLMG21J2M1-GS08?
The dominant wavelength of the VLMG21J2M1-GS08 is specified as 562–575 nm at 10 mA, with a typical value of 572 nm. This range falls within the standard green band for visual signaling and complies with IEC 62471 photobiological safety classification. The VLMG21J2M1-GS08 uses GaP-on-GaP technology to achieve this stable spectral output.
Can the VLMG21J2M1-GS08 be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes, the VLMG21J2M1-GS08 can be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO when used with an appropriate current-limiting resistor. With a forward voltage range of 2.1–2.8 V at 10 mA, the VLMG21J2M1-GS08 leaves sufficient headroom for resistor-based biasing. For higher reliability, use a 220 Ω resistor to limit current to ~4.5 mA or 100 Ω for ~20 mA operation.
What does the "M1" in VLMG21J2M1-GS08 indicate?
The "M1" in VLMG21J2M1-GS08 denotes the luminous intensity bin: M group (18.0–22.4 mcd) and subgroup 1. This binning ensures all units on a given reel meet the same brightness specifications, critical for uniform appearance in multi-LED arrays. The VLMG21J2M1-GS08 is not interchangeable with J2L1 or K1L2 variants without verifying system-level brightness tolerance.
