Overview
VLMK23P2S1-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a red AlInGaP-on-GaAs power MiniLED in a 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm SMD package, delivering 125–224 mcd luminous intensity at 20 mA, with dominant wavelength of 630 nm, ±60° viewing angle, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive dashboard backlighting.
For engineers reviewing the VLMK23P2S1-GS08 datasheet, VLMK23P2S1-GS08 pinout, VLMK23P2S1-GS08 application, or VLMK23P2S1-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (S-group), forward voltage range (1.9–2.6 V), thermal resistance (580 K/W), and compatibility with IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This device operates as a surface-mount indicator/backlight LED with non-diffused lens optimized for coupling to light pipes and flat-panel LCD symbols. Its AlInGaP on GaAs die technology enables high radiant efficiency in the red spectrum while maintaining robustness under thermal cycling.

Use Value: S-group intensity binning eliminates manual brightness matching during assembly, reducing test time and yield loss. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar red LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMK23P2R1-GS08 | Luminous intensity 112–140 mcd (R-bin); same package, VF, and wavelength | Lower brightness tier suitable for lower-power or ambient-light-limited use cases | Select when tighter luminance tolerance (112–140 mcd) is preferred over higher output |
| LSM676P2S1 | OSRAM cross-reference; identical optical/electrical specs and footprint per Vishay crossing table | Same automotive qualification and tape-and-reel format (GS08 = 3000 pcs) | Use for dual-sourcing where OSRAM supply chain preference applies |
Compared with VLMK23P2S1-GS08, the R-bin variant offers reduced intensity for lower power consumption and glare control, while the LSM676P2S1 provides identical performance with alternate logistics - neither is pin-compatible in the IC sense (as this is a 2-pin LED), but both share identical mounting and electrical interface requirements.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity range of the VLMK23P2S1-GS08 at 20 mA?
The VLMK23P2S1-GS08 delivers a luminous intensity of 125–224 mcd at 20 mA forward current, corresponding to the S-group binning classification per Vishay's specification document 81681. This range ensures consistent brightness across units shipped on the same reel, with IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within each packing unit. The VLMK23P2S1-GS08 is tested using a 25 ms current pulse and calibrated for ±11 % accuracy.
Is the VLMK23P2S1-GS08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the VLMK23P2S1-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming its suitability for automotive interior lighting applications such as dashboard backlighting and switch illumination. It meets stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and solderability per the AEC standard. The VLMK23P2S1-GS08 operates reliably from −40 to +100 °C and supports junction temperatures up to +125 °C.
What is the forward voltage range of the VLMK23P2S1-GS08?
The VLMK23P2S1-GS08 has a forward voltage range of 1.9 V to 2.6 V at 20 mA DC forward current, as specified in the optical and electrical characteristics table. This range reflects process variation across the AlInGaP-on-GaAs die and must be accounted for in driver design - for example, a 3.3 V supply requires ≥1.3 V headroom for series resistor or current-regulator selection. The VLMK23P2S1-GS08 VF decreases slightly with rising ambient temperature.
Does the VLMK23P2S1-GS08 have a diffused or non-diffused lens?
The VLMK23P2S1-GS08 features a non-diffused lens, explicitly stated in the Features section of Vishay's datasheet 81681. This optical design maximizes coupling efficiency into light pipes and edge-lit backlight structures, making it ideal for flat-panel LCD symbols and dashboard overlays where directional light control is critical. The VLMK23P2S1-GS08 does not incorporate phosphor or scattering elements.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of the VLMK23P2S1-GS08?
The VLMK23P2S1-GS08 is rated MSL Level 2a per JEDEC J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored for up to 12 months in sealed dry bags (<40 °C / <90 % RH), but must be mounted within 672 hours (4 weeks) after bag opening under factory conditions (<30 °C / 60 % RH). If exposure exceeds this, the VLMK23P2S1-GS08 requires baking - e.g., 96 h at 60 ±5 °C and <5 % RH - before reflow soldering.
