Product details
Overview
VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a soft orange low-current MiniLED SMD package (2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm) with dominant wavelength 605 nm, luminous intensity 22.4 mcd at 2 mA, ±60° viewing angle, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive dashboard backlighting.
For engineers reviewing the VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 datasheet, VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 pinout, VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 application, or VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 equivalent, this device serves as a space-constrained, high-reliability indicator LED optimized for low-power, high-brightness visibility in harsh ambient conditions.
Technical Context
This soft orange LED uses AllnGaP-on-GaAs technology to deliver stable chromaticity and luminous output across -40 °C to +100 °C operating range. Its non-diffused lens enables efficient coupling to light pipes and precision backlighting in compact assemblies.
Designed for IR reflow per J-STD-020 and preconditioned to JEDEC Level 2a, VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 supports automated placement and maintains luminous intensity ratio ≤1.6 within a reel - critical for consistent visual appearance in multi-LED arrays.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Color | Soft orange - defined by dominant wavelength 598–611 nm, enabling warm visual signaling compatible with human eye photopic response. |
| Luminous intensity | 22.4 mcd at 2 mA - sufficient brightness for indicator use without excessive power draw or thermal load in sealed enclosures. |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination suitable for front-panel symbols and switch backlighting without secondary optics. |
| Forward voltage | 1.8–2.2 V at 2 mA - enables direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V logic rails with minimal series resistance. |
| Package dimensions | 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm - ultra-compact footprint ideal for PCB real estate–constrained applications like instrument clusters. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability - ensures operational stability under thermal cycling, humidity, and vibration stress. |
| ESD withstand | 2 kV per JESD22-A114-B - reduces risk of handling damage during assembly and field service. |
Pinout & Package
VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 uses a 2-pin surface-mount MiniLED package with cathode marked on the top surface. The package conforms to drawing No. 6.541-5069.01-4 (Issue 3), with recommended copper pad area >5 mm² for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive terminal | Connected to current source or MCU GPIO via current-limiting resistor; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse breakdown. |
| Cathode (K) | Negative terminal | Marked with visible cathode indicator on package top; tied to ground or sink driver; determines forward bias direction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables precise optical coupling to light guides and edge-lit LCDs without scattering loss or color shift. |
| Luminous intensity binning | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel - ensures consistent brightness across all units in a single production batch. |
| Low profile SMT package | 1.4 mm height - allows integration beneath thin bezels and into tight mechanical envelopes such as automotive control knobs. |
| Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance | 580 K/W on ≥5 mm² pad - defines maximum allowable power dissipation (40 mW) and safe continuous DC current (15 mA). |
| JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning | Confirms moisture sensitivity level compliance - mandates dry pack storage and bake protocols before reflow. |

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 (612–624 nm dominant wavelength); higher luminous intensity bin (7.1–18 mcd) | Better suited for applications requiring higher contrast against cool-white backgrounds | Select when spectral purity near 620 nm is prioritized over warm-orange tone |
| VLMO20J2M1-GS08 | Same soft orange color bin but lower luminous intensity (5.6–22.4 mcd vs. 18–35.5 mcd for VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08) | Less brightness headroom for aging compensation or high-ambient-light environments | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs need for highest initial output |
Compared with VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08, VLMK20K1L2-GS08 shifts chromaticity toward longer wavelengths for improved red-orange differentiation, while VLMO20J2M1-GS08 offers identical spectral characteristics but reduced luminous intensity headroom - making VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 optimal for long-life, high-visibility automotive and industrial indicators.

FAQ
What is the dominant wavelength specification for VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08?
The dominant wavelength of VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 is specified as 598–611 nm, placing it firmly in the soft orange region. This range ensures warm, easily distinguishable visual signaling while maintaining compatibility with standard photopic response curves used in human-factor lighting design. The value is measured at 2 mA forward current per the Vishay datasheet revision 2.6.
Is VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including dashboard backlighting and switch indicators. This qualification covers stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD - all validated per JEDEC standards. The device operates reliably from -40 °C to +100 °C, matching typical automotive under-hood and cabin environments.
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 is 15 mA at ambient temperatures ≤100 °C. This limit is defined by thermal constraints - with RthJA = 580 K/W and PV = 40 mW - and must be respected to prevent junction overheating and accelerated lumen depreciation. For long-term reliability, Vishay recommends operating at ≤2 mA for indicator use.
Does VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 require special handling due to moisture sensitivity?
Yes, VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 is moisture-sensitive per JEDEC Level 2a and shipped in dry-packed aluminum bags with desiccant and humidity indicator cards. After opening, it must be mounted within 672 hours at <30 °C/60% RH or stored in a dry box (<10% RH). If exposed beyond limits, baking at 60 °C for 96 hours is required before reflow soldering to prevent popcorning.
What is the luminous intensity binning tolerance for VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08?
Within a single packaging unit (reel), VLMO20K2L2-35-GS08 maintains a luminous intensity ratio of IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6. This tight binning ensures uniform brightness across all devices on a board - critical for aesthetic consistency in multi-LED arrays used in automotive dashboards and premium consumer interfaces.
