For engineers reviewing the VLMK335U1V2-GS08 datasheet, VLMK335U1V2-GS08 pinout, VLMK335U1V2-GS08 application, or VLMK335U1V2-GS08 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical/electrical specs, thermal resistance (400 K/W), ESD rating (2 kV), reflow compatibility, and real-world use context for automotive and industrial signage design.
Technical Context
The VLMK335U1V2-GS08 uses AlInGaP-on-Si chip technology optimized for high luminous efficiency and thermal stability, delivering ±60° viewing angle and spectral bandwidth ≤18 nm at 50% Irel max. It operates across -40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature with junction temperature limited to 125 °C.
Its PLCC-2 package features a white thermoplastic lead frame embedded in clear epoxy-filled reflector cavity, enabling robust surface-mount assembly via reflow, vapor-phase, or wave soldering per J-STD-020 and CECC 00802 standards - preconditioned to JEDEC level 2a and qualified to AEC-Q101.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar orange-red LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMR335U1V2-GS08 | Red emission (619–631 nm), higher typical luminous intensity (560 mcd vs. 630 mcd), identical package and drive specs | Better suited for red-critical applications like brake lights; less chromatically matched to orange-red UI elements | Select when strict red compliance (e.g., ECE R3) is required over orange-red hue fidelity |
| VLMO335U2AA-GS08 | Soft orange emission (600–611 nm), higher intensity range (560–1400 mcd), same PLCC-2 footprint and thermal resistance | Preferred for warm-orange aesthetics in consumer electronics; narrower dominant wavelength tolerance | Choose for applications needing smoother transition between red and yellow, such as multi-color status bars |
Compared with VLMK335U1V2-GS08, VLMR335U1V2-GS08 shifts chromaticity toward red for regulatory compliance, while VLMO335U2AA-GS08 offers warmer orange with higher max intensity - all share identical thermal, mechanical, and assembly characteristics, enabling layout reuse across color variants.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for VLMK335U1V2-GS08?
The VLMK335U1V2-GS08 is rated for 50 mA DC forward current at ambient temperatures ≤73 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This limit assumes thermal resistance of 400 K/W on a PCB with pad area >16 mm². Exceeding 50 mA risks accelerated degradation or thermal runaway.
Does VLMK335U1V2-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
VLMK335U1V2-GS08 is preconditioned to JEDEC level 2a and shipped in dry-packed anti-humidity bags. Baking is not required if mounted within 672 hours of bag opening under ≤30 °C/60 % RH conditions. If exposed longer, bake per JESD22-A112: 96 h at 60 °C +5 °C/<5 % RH.
What is the viewing angle specification for VLMK335U1V2-GS08?
The VLMK335U1V2-GS08 has an angle of half intensity of ±60°, meaning luminous intensity drops to 50 % of peak value at ±60° from the optical axis. This wide viewing angle supports uniform illumination across broad surfaces without secondary optics in indicator and backlighting roles.
Is VLMK335U1V2-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, VLMK335U1V2-GS08 is fully compatible with Pb-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, supporting peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤100 s. Its package construction and materials are qualified for both single and double reflow cycles without delamination or lens discoloration.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMK335U1V2-GS08?
VLMK335U1V2-GS08 is intensity-binned into groups U (450–560 mcd) and V (710–1120 mcd) per packing unit, with IVmax/IVmin ≤1.6 within each group. Each reel contains only one intensity group - no mixing - ensuring consistent brightness across assembled units.
