Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMY2100-GS08 | Yellow emission (581–594 nm dominant wavelength); 3.55–8.5 mcd at 10 mA; otherwise identical package, ratings, and optical specs | Used where yellow coding is required for status differentiation (e.g., warning vs. ready states) rather than soft orange | Select VLMY2100-GS08 only when color-coding mandates yellow; all mechanical, thermal, and drive requirements remain unchanged |
| OSRAM LOM670 | Same soft orange color bin; slightly wider dominant wavelength range (600–610 nm); identical 2.3 × 1.3 mm SMD package and ±60° viewing angle | Qualifies for OSRAM-based BOMs; requires validation of luminous intensity binning consistency and JEDEC level 2a compliance documentation | Use OSRAM LOM670 only when cross-qualified per OEM sourcing policy; verify intensity grouping and moisture sensitivity labeling match VLMO2100-GS08 requirements |
Compared with VLMO2100-GS08, VLMY2100-GS08 offers identical form-factor and drive characteristics but shifts chromaticity to yellow for functional coding, while OSRAM LOM670 provides a second-source option with minor spectral variation and requires explicit validation of binning and moisture handling protocols.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMO2100-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMO2100-GS08 is 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤74 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated degradation and reduced lifetime. The device supports short-duration surge current up to 340 mA (tp ≤ 10 μs), but continuous operation must remain within the 20 mA limit to maintain luminous intensity stability and junction temperature safety. Always reference the derating curve in Figure 1 of the datasheet when operating above 25 °C.
Does VLMO2100-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
VLMO2100-GS08 is preconditioned to JEDEC level 2a and shipped in moisture-barrier packaging. Baking is not required if the sealed bag is opened and the device is mounted within 672 hours under factory conditions (<30 °C / 60 % RH). If exposure exceeds this window or humidity indicator cards show >10 % RH, baking at 60 °C ±5 °C for 96 hours under <5 % RH is mandatory prior to reflow. The VLMO2100-GS08 datasheet specifies exact bake profiles and moisture sensitivity labeling requirements.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMO2100-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix in VLMO2100-GS08 denotes the packaging configuration: GS indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard, and "08" specifies a 3000-piece reel quantity. This format ensures compatibility with high-speed SMT placement equipment and aligns with Vishay's standard shipping unit for volume production. The VLMO2100-GS08 reel includes leader/trailer sections and complies with cover tape peel strength specifications (0.1–1.3 N at 165–180°).
Can VLMO2100-GS08 be used in automotive applications?
Yes, VLMO2100-GS08 is qualified for automotive indicator use per its operating temperature range (-40 °C to +100 °C), JEDEC level 2a moisture sensitivity, and robust construction using GaAsP-on-GaP technology. It meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for LEDs when operated within absolute maximum ratings - including 20 mA DC forward current and 6 V reverse voltage. Automotive implementations must validate thermal management on target PCBs and confirm optical alignment with lenses or light guides per vehicle-specific EMC and durability standards.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMO2100-GS08?
VLMO2100-GS08 is binned into luminous intensity groups (H, J, K, L, M, N) per the table on page 3 of the datasheet, with each reel containing only one intensity group - for example, group K covers 7.1–9.0 mcd at 10 mA. Intensity binning ensures consistent brightness across all units on a single reel, eliminating visible mismatch in multi-LED arrays. The VLMO2100-GS08 part number itself does not encode the bin; bin code (e.g., "K1") appears on the bar code label and must be specified separately for brightness-critical designs.
