For engineers reviewing the VLMK23P2R1-GS08 datasheet, VLMK23P2R1-GS08 pinout, VLMK23P2R1-GS08 application, or VLMK23P2R1-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.9–2.6 V forward voltage range at 20 mA, 580 K/W thermal resistance, 30 mA absolute max forward current, and non-diffused lens compatibility with light pipes.
Technical Context
This device is a surface-mount red LED built on AlInGaP-on-GaAs technology, optimized for high-brightness, low-profile applications requiring robust thermal performance and reliability in harsh environments. It operates at 20 mA nominal forward current with 125 °C maximum junction temperature and supports IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
The VLMK23P2R1-GS08 features a non-diffused lens enabling efficient coupling to light guides and backlight assemblies, and its luminous intensity binning (Group R1: 112–140 mcd) ensures consistent brightness within each reel-critical for uniform panel illumination in automotive and industrial UIs.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMK23P2R1-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMK23P2R1-GS08 is 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤ 80 °C. Operation above this value risks accelerated degradation or thermal runaway. For continuous operation, Vishay recommends limiting current to 20 mA to maintain rated luminous intensity and lifetime-especially when mounted on standard FR-4 with minimal copper area.
Is VLMK23P2R1-GS08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, VLMK23P2R1-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for automotive-grade reliability-including temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and ESD. This qualification confirms suitability for under-hood and cabin applications such as dashboard backlighting, provided thermal design meets the 580 K/W junction-to-ambient requirement.
What does the "R1" in VLMK23P2R1-GS08 signify?
The "R1" denotes the luminous intensity bin: Group R1 covers 112–140 mcd at 20 mA. Vishay bins VLMK23P2R1-GS08 by brightness to ensure uniformity-each reel contains only one intensity group, preventing mismatch in multi-LED arrays. This binning supports consistent appearance in automotive and industrial UIs where visual uniformity is essential.
Can VLMK23P2R1-GS08 be used with standard IR reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMK23P2R1-GS08 is fully compatible with lead-free IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020, supporting peak temperatures up to 255 °C for ≤30 seconds. The device's construction and packaging have been validated for this profile. Preconditioning to JEDEC Level 2a is required before reflow if the moisture barrier bag has been opened for >672 hours at <30 °C/60% RH.
What is the significance of the non-diffused lens in VLMK23P2R1-GS08?
The non-diffused lens in VLMK23P2R1-GS08 preserves optical directionality and intensity, making it ideal for coupling into light pipes, edge-lit backlights, and narrow-aperture indicators. Unlike diffused LEDs that scatter light broadly, this design delivers concentrated output-enabling higher effective brightness at target surfaces and reducing the need for secondary optics in space-constrained applications.
