For engineers reviewing the VLMO21H2K1-GS08 datasheet, VLMO21H2K1-GS08 pinout, VLMO21H2K1-GS08 application, or VLMO21H2K1-GS08 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical/electrical specs, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning compliance, ESD rating (2 kV HBM), luminous intensity binning (Group K, Level 2), and tape-and-reel packaging (3000 pcs/reel) for reliable SMT integration.
Technical Context
The VLMO21H2K1-GS08 is a GaAsP-on-GaP semiconductor light-emitting diode optimized for high-brightness, low-profile surface-mount applications. It operates at DC forward current up to 20 mA with thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 480 K/W when mounted on a PCB pad >5 mm².
Its optical behavior is characterized by non-diffused lens geometry enabling efficient coupling to light pipes and LCD backlighting systems. The device supports IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with peak temperature tolerance up to 260 °C for ≤10 s and JEDEC level 2a moisture sensitivity handling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMY21H2K1-GS08 | Yellow emission (585–588 nm), 8.5 mcd typical intensity at 10 mA - same package, binning, and drive specs | Suitable where color differentiation is needed (e.g., yellow = warning, orange = active) | Select when spectral distinction from orange is required without changing layout or drive circuitry |
| LOM670 | OSRAM equivalent; identical soft orange chromaticity, 7.0 mcd typical, but larger 2.8 mm × 2.0 mm package | Requires PCB pad redesign due to 22% larger footprint and different thermal pad layout | Choose only if legacy LOM670 inventory exists or OSRAM sourcing is mandated |
Compared with VLMO21H2K1-GS08, VLMY21H2K1-GS08 offers identical mechanical and electrical compatibility with a shifted hue for functional coding, while LOM670 demands layout revision despite matching photometric performance - making VLMO21H2K1-GS08 optimal for new designs prioritizing miniaturization and bin consistency.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity binning for VLMO21H2K1-GS08?
The VLMO21H2K1-GS08 is binned in Group K, Level 2, meaning its luminous intensity falls between 7.1 and 9.0 mcd at 10 mA. This binning ensures consistent brightness across all units on a single 3000-piece tape reel, with IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 - critical for uniform appearance in multi-LED panels. Each reel ships with only one intensity group, as confirmed in Vishay Document 81233.
Does VLMO21H2K1-GS08 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, VLMO21H2K1-GS08 is qualified for Pb-free IR reflow per J-STD-020, with a peak temperature tolerance of 260 °C for ≤10 s. Its recommended profile includes ramp-up ≤3 °C/s, soak at 150–200 °C for 60–120 s, and time above liquidus (217 °C) of 60–100 s. The device also meets JEDEC level 2a preconditioning requirements for moisture sensitivity.
What is the dominant wavelength range of VLMO21H2K1-GS08?
The dominant wavelength of VLMO21H2K1-GS08 is specified as 602–605 nm at 10 mA, placing it firmly in the soft orange spectrum. This value is measured per JEDEC standards using a 25 ms pulse and is distinct from peak wavelength (605 nm typical). The narrow range ensures color consistency across production lots and matches human eye photopic response for high-visibility status indication.
Can VLMO21H2K1-GS08 be used in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, VLMO21H2K1-GS08 is rated for an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +100 °C and has a maximum junction temperature of +100 °C. Its thermal resistance (RthJA = 480 K/W on >5 mm² pads) and robust GaAsP-on-GaP die construction make it suitable for under-hood indicator use, provided PCB layout maintains adequate copper area and airflow - as validated in Vishay's automotive-grade MiniLED qualification testing.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMO21H2K1-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging: GS = standard carrier tape format, 08 = 3000 pieces per reel. This matches Vishay's documented packaging specification in Document 81233, Section "TAPE DIMENSIONS", and confirms compatibility with automated SMT placement equipment using 8 mm tape width and EIA-481-D compliant sprocket holes.
