Product details
Overview
VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a soft orange low-current MiniLED SMD device in a 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm white package, rated for 2 mA forward current, with dominant wavelength 602–605 nm, luminous intensity 7.1–18 mcd, and ±60° viewing angle - optimized for automotive dashboard backlighting and industrial indicator applications.
For engineers reviewing the VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 datasheet, VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 pinout, VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 application, or VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning, 2 kV ESD rating, non-diffused lens for light-pipe coupling, and IR reflow compatibility per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This soft orange LED uses AllnGaP-on-GaAs technology to deliver stable chromaticity across temperature (±60° half-intensity angle, 598–611 nm dominant wavelength range) and low power operation (VF = 1.8–2.2 V at 2 mA). It features a non-diffused lens enabling high-efficiency coupling into light guides and backlight films.
Designed for arduous environments, VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 supports operating temperatures from −40 °C to +100 °C, junction temperature up to +125 °C, and meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements including thermal cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock - confirming suitability for automotive interior lighting and industrial HMI panels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Color | Soft orange - defined by dominant wavelength 602–605 nm, enabling consistent human-perceived hue in indicator and backlight roles. |
| Luminous intensity | 7.1–18 mcd at 2 mA - binned brightness group L ensures predictable visual output within a reel, critical for uniform panel illumination. |
| Forward voltage | 1.8–2.2 V at 2 mA - enables direct drive from low-voltage microcontrollers without series resistor recalibration across batches. |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, even illumination for symbols and LCD segments without secondary optics. |
| Package dimensions | 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm - ultra-compact MiniLED footprint minimizes PCB real estate while maintaining solder joint reliability under thermal cycling. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Qualified for automotive-grade reliability - validates performance under temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress per automotive electronics standards. |
| ESD withstand | 2 kV per JESD22-A114-B - protects against handling damage during automated placement and board assembly. |
Pinout & Package
VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 uses a 2-pin surface-mount MiniLED package (drawing no. 6.541-5069.01-4), with cathode marked by a visible notch on the package edge. The device has no internal circuitry - it is a passive two-terminal diode requiring external current limiting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive terminal | Connected to supply rail or current source; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse breakdown (max VR = 5 V). |
| Cathode (K) | Negative terminal | Marked by physical notch; connects to ground or current sink; reverse conduction is only suitable for short-term use per datasheet note. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables >90% optical coupling efficiency into light pipes and edge-lit backlight films - eliminates need for diffuser layers in space-constrained designs. |
| Low profile package | 1.4 mm height allows integration behind thin bezels and under membrane switches without mechanical interference. |
| Luminous intensity ratio control | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within one tape reel - ensures uniform brightness across all units mounted on a single PCB, reducing post-assembly calibration. |
| J-STD-020 compliant reflow | Rated for peak reflow temperature up to 255 °C (max 260 °C), supporting standard lead-free assembly without thermal degradation. |
| JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning | Pre-baked and moisture-controlled packaging - eliminates need for customer baking prior to reflow if used within 672 hours of bag opening at <30 °C / 60 % RH. |
Applications
| Automotive Dashboard Backlighting | Industrial HMI Indicator |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Illuminating segmented symbols and icons on instrument cluster PCBs in passenger vehicles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive optical emitter driven by constant-current LED driver IC or GPIO with series resistor. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and −40 °C to +100 °C operation ensure reliable symbol visibility across vehicle lifecycle and environmental extremes. |
Use Scenario: Status indication on programmable logic controller (PLC) I/O modules and safety-rated operator panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Visual feedback element controlled by microcontroller GPIO or discrete transistor switch. Use Value: Soft orange chromaticity provides high contrast against industrial gray/black enclosures, and 2 kV ESD rating prevents field failure during maintenance handling. |
| Office Equipment Keypad Backlight | Audio/Video Equipment Power Indicator |
Use Scenario: Edge-lit backlighting for rubber keypad overlays in multifunction printers and copiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary light source coupled directly to molded light guide beneath keypad membrane. Use Value: Non-diffused lens and ±60° viewing angle deliver uniform illumination across full keypad area without secondary optics or diffusers. |
Use Scenario: Power-on status indicator on AV receivers and streaming media players. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power visual indicator powered directly from 3.3 V or 5 V rail via fixed resistor. Use Value: 2 mA drive current and 1.8–2.2 V VF enable direct connection to MCU I/O pins with minimal power budget impact and no active driver required. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar soft orange LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMK20K1L2-GS08 | Orange red color (612–624 nm dominant wavelength), higher luminous intensity (7.1–18 mcd same bin), identical package and electrical specs. | Better suited for applications requiring higher color contrast against red indicators or where amber-orange coding is specified per IEC 60417. | Select when colorimetric distinction from red LEDs is required; not interchangeable where soft orange chromaticity is mandated. |
| VLMO20J2M1-GS08 | Same soft orange color (598–611 nm), but higher luminous intensity bin M (18–22.4 mcd), otherwise identical package, VF, and reliability specs. | Preferred for applications needing higher brightness without increasing drive current - e.g., outdoor-visible front-panel indicators. | Choose for enhanced visibility in ambient-light-rich environments; requires verification of optical saturation in light-pipe assemblies. |
Compared with VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08, VLMK20K1L2-GS08 shifts chromaticity toward longer wavelengths for improved red/orange differentiation, while VLMO20J2M1-GS08 increases luminous output within the same soft orange bin - both retain identical thermal, mechanical, and assembly compatibility.

FAQ
What is the exact dominant wavelength range for VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08?
The dominant wavelength for VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 is specified as 602 nm (minimum) to 605 nm (typical) and 611 nm (maximum) at 2 mA forward current, placing it firmly in the soft orange spectral band per Vishay's COLOR CLASSIFICATION GROUP 3 and 4 definitions in document 81339.
Is VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 is fully compatible with lead-free IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020, supporting a peak package body temperature of up to 255 °C (with 260 °C absolute maximum for ≤10 seconds), as confirmed in the "SOLDERING PROFILE" section of the official Vishay datasheet 81339.
Does VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 require external current limiting?
Yes, VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 is a passive two-terminal LED and requires external current limiting - either a series resistor or constant-current driver - to maintain safe operation at its rated 2 mA forward current and prevent thermal runaway or premature degradation.
What does the "34" in VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 signify?
The "34" suffix in VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 denotes the specific brightness and wavelength bin combination: "3" indicates dominant wavelength bin 3 (602–605 nm), and "4" indicates luminous intensity bin L (7.1–18 mcd), per Vishay's standardized binning nomenclature in document 81339.
Can VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 be used in reverse-biased configuration?
No - although the datasheet notes reverse conduction is "suitable for short term application", VLMO20K1L2-34-GS08 is not designed for sustained reverse bias; its absolute maximum reverse voltage is 5 V, and prolonged reverse operation risks irreversible junction damage and luminous decay.
