Product details
Overview
VLMK235T2V1-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is an orange-red power MiniLED in a 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm SMD package, delivering 355–900 mcd luminous intensity at 20 mA, with dominant wavelength 611–622 nm and forward voltage 1.8–2.6 V. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for automotive dashboard illumination and industrial indicator applications.
For engineers reviewing the VLMK235T2V1-GS08 datasheet, VLMK235T2V1-GS08 pinout, VLMK235T2V1-GS08 application, or VLMK235T2V1-GS08 equivalent, this page provides verified optical, electrical, thermal, and packaging specifications - including ESD rating (2 kV), junction temperature limit (125 °C), and ±60° viewing angle - to support reliable LED selection in harsh-environment designs.
Technical Context
The VLMK235T2V1-GS08 is a surface-mount AlInGaP-on-Si LED optimized for high-brightness, high-reliability indicator use. Its 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm footprint and 480 K/W thermal resistance require PCB pad area >16 mm² for safe 50 mA DC operation at ≤60 °C ambient.
It operates within -40 °C to +100 °C ambient range and supports IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with JEDEC level 2a preconditioning and moisture sensitivity level 2a handling requirements. Reverse voltage is not rated - reverse bias is permitted only short-term per datasheet note (1).

Applications
| Traffic Signals & Signs | Dashboard Illumination |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Red/orange status indication in outdoor LED traffic signal modules exposed to UV, rain, and thermal cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Light-emitting element providing visible status feedback; no timing or control function. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and -40 °C to +100 °C operating range ensure long-term lumen maintenance and color stability under direct sunlight and freeze-thaw conditions. |
Use Scenario: Backlighting of analog gauges and digital instrument cluster icons in passenger vehicles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete light source driven by constant-current LED driver ICs; no integrated control. Use Value: Tight dominant wavelength binning (611–622 nm) and luminous intensity grouping (V-bin: 710–900 mcd) enable consistent color matching across multi-LED clusters. |
| Interior Indicator Lighting | Audio/Video Equipment Backlighting |
Use Scenario: Status LEDs on HVAC controls, door lock switches, and seat position sensors in automotive interiors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Visual indicator component; driven by microcontroller GPIO or dedicated LED driver.

Use Value: ±60° viewing angle and 3 mcd/mcd luminous flux ratio ensure even illumination across engraved symbols without hotspots or glare. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar orange-red LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LAM67B-T2V1-1 (OSRAM) | Same dominant wavelength range (611–622 nm), identical 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm package, but lower max luminous intensity (750 mcd vs. 900 mcd) | Suitable for same automotive interior and industrial panel applications; slightly reduced brightness margin | Select when OSRAM supply chain alignment or dual-sourcing is required; verify binning compatibility for color-matching systems |
| VLMR235T2V1-GS08 (Vishay) | Red variant (619–631 nm), higher typical luminous intensity (520 mcd vs. 550 mcd), otherwise identical package, thermal, and reliability specs | Used where red (not orange-red) chromaticity is mandated - e.g., brake light simulation or regulatory-compliant warning indicators | Choose for red-specific signaling; not a color-matched substitute for VLMK235T2V1-GS08 in orange-red applications |
Compared with LAM67B-T2V1-1, VLMK235T2V1-GS08 offers higher maximum luminous intensity (900 vs. 750 mcd) for improved visibility in bright ambient conditions; compared with VLMR235T2V1-GS08, it delivers a distinct orange-red hue critical for color-differentiated status coding in safety-critical interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum DC forward current rating for VLMK235T2V1-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMK235T2V1-GS08 is 50 mA, but only when ambient temperature is ≤60 °C and thermal resistance to ambient (RthJA) is maintained at 480 K/W via proper PCB pad design (>16 mm² copper area). At higher temperatures, derating is required per Fig. 1 in the datasheet.
Is VLMK235T2V1-GS08 suitable for automotive exterior lighting applications?
VLMK235T2V1-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for -40 °C to +100 °C operation, making it appropriate for automotive interior and non-safety-critical exterior indicators (e.g., side marker accents or status lights). However, it is not certified for headlamp, brake lamp, or turn signal primary lighting per SAE or ECE regulations - those require higher photometric and environmental validation.
Does VLMK235T2V1-GS08 have a built-in current-limiting resistor?
No, VLMK235T2V1-GS08 is a bare LED die in an SMD package with no integrated current-limiting resistor. External current control - via series resistor, constant-current driver IC, or microcontroller PWM with current sensing - is required to maintain forward current at 20 mA (typical test condition) or within the 50 mA absolute maximum rating.
What does the "T2V1" suffix indicate in VLMK235T2V1-GS08?
In VLMK235T2V1-GS08, "T2" denotes the luminous intensity bin (520–900 mcd range), and "V1" specifies the dominant wavelength bin (611–622 nm, orange-red group 2 per the Color Classification table). This binning ensures consistent optical performance across production reels, with no mixing of bins per GS08 tape reel.
Can VLMK235T2V1-GS08 be reflow soldered using lead-free processes?
Yes, VLMK235T2V1-GS08 is qualified for lead-free IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with a peak temperature of 245 °C (max 260 °C for ≤10 s). The recommended profile includes ramp-up ≤3 °C/s, soak at 150–200 °C for 60–120 s, and time above liquidus (217 °C) of 60–100 s - all detailed in Fig. 10 of the datasheet.
