Product details
Overview
VLMG31L1M2-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a green surface-mount LED in PLCC-2 package, featuring luminous intensity of 11.2–28 mcd at 10 mA, dominant wavelength 562–575 nm, and forward voltage 2.1–2.8 V at 20 mA. It delivers high brightness for indicator and backlighting applications in office equipment and LCD panels.
For engineers reviewing the VLMG31L1M2-GS08 datasheet, VLMG31L1M2-GS08 pinout, VLMG31L1M2-GS08 application, or VLMG31L1M2-GS08 equivalent, this page provides verified optical/electrical specs, SMD mounting compatibility, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning, ESD rating (2 kV), and tape-and-reel packaging details (GS08, 1500 pcs/reel).
Technical Context
The VLMG31L1M2-GS08 uses GaP-on-GaP semiconductor technology to emit green light with ±60° viewing angle and non-diffused lens optimized for coupling into light pipes and uniform backlighting. Its thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 400 K/W when mounted on a PCB pad >16 mm².
It operates across -40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature range, supports IR reflow, vapor phase, and wave soldering per CECC 00802 and J-STD-020, and meets JEDEC JESD22-A114-B for ESD withstand voltage up to 2 kV.

Applications
| Telecom Indicator | Audio/Video Backlight |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Status indication on telephone handsets, fax machines, and VoIP endpoints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Visual status emitter - no timing or control function; driven by simple constant-current or resistor-limited source. Use Value: High luminous intensity (11.2–28 mcd) ensures visibility in ambient lighting; ±60° viewing angle covers broad user field-of-view. |
Use Scenario: Keypad and display backlighting in home audio receivers, DVD players, and streaming devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Light source - directly powered from low-voltage rail; no modulation or data interface required. Use Value: Non-diffused lens couples efficiently into light guides; green 562–575 nm output matches human photopic response for perceived brightness. |
| Office Equipment Indicator | LCD Flat Backlight |
Use Scenario: Power-on, ready, and error indicators on printers, scanners, and multifunction peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone visual indicator - operated in DC or pulsed mode; no communication or feedback loop. Use Value: Luminous intensity classification "L1M2" ensures batch-consistent brightness; JEDEC level 2a allows direct placement after dry-pack opening. |
Use Scenario: Edge-lit backlight for monochrome or segmented LCDs in industrial HMIs, test equipment, and instrumentation panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary light source - positioned along LCD edge; driven continuously or PWM-modulated for dimming. Use Value: 20 mA max forward current enables stable output over temperature; 400 K/W RthJA supports thermal management on standard FR-4 PCBs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar green LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMG31K1M2-GS08 | Lower min. luminous intensity (7.1 mcd vs. 11.2 mcd); same wavelength and VF range | Suitable where lower brightness suffices and tighter binning is not required | Select VLMG31K1M2-GS08 only if design tolerates reduced minimum output; VLMG31L1M2-GS08 guarantees higher baseline brightness. |
| LGT670-L1M2 | OSRAM cross-reference; identical optical/electrical specs per Vishay crossing table | Same form, fit, and function - validated alternative for dual-sourcing | Choose LGT670-L1M2 when OSRAM supply chain preference or qualification mandates apply; otherwise VLMG31L1M2-GS08 is native Vishay solution. |
Compared with VLMG31K1M2-GS08, the VLMG31L1M2-GS08 provides higher guaranteed minimum intensity for critical visibility applications; compared with LGT670-L1M2, it offers identical performance with direct Vishay support, traceability, and GS08 tape packaging consistency.
