Product details
Overview
VLMO233U1AA-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a soft orange power MiniLED SMD device in a 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm package, delivering 450–1400 mcd luminous intensity at 20 mA, with dominant wavelength 600–611 nm and forward voltage 1.8–2.6 V. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and designed for automotive dashboard illumination and industrial indicator lighting under harsh ambient conditions.
For engineers reviewing the VLMO233U1AA-GS08 datasheet, VLMO233U1AA-GS08 pinout, VLMO233U1AA-GS08 application, or VLMO233U1AA-GS08 equivalent, this page provides verified optical/electrical specs, thermal limits, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning compliance, ±60° viewing angle, and ESD withstand up to 2 kV - all critical for high-reliability LED selection in constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This soft orange AlInGaP-on-Si LED operates at 20 mA nominal forward current with peak permissible DC current of 50 mA at Tamb ≤ 60 °C. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 480 K/W when mounted on a PCB pad >16 mm², enabling stable operation up to 125 °C junction temperature.
The device exhibits spectral bandwidth of 17 nm at 50% relative intensity, luminous flux-to-intensity ratio of 3 mlm/mcd, and dominant wavelength shift of ±8 nm across –40 to +100 °C ambient range - characteristics essential for color-consistent backlighting and signaling applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar soft orange LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMK233U1AA-GS08 | Orange red (611–622 nm), 450–1400 mcd, identical package and VF range | Slightly warmer hue; used where higher wavelength stability across temperature is prioritized | Select when color matching to adjacent red/orange indicators is required |
| VLMY233T2V2-GS08 | Yellow (583–594 nm), 355–1120 mcd, same footprint and thermal specs | Cooler chromaticity; lower luminous intensity ceiling than VLMO233U1AA-GS08 | Choose for high-contrast yellow coding in safety-critical status displays |
Compared with VLMK233U1AA-GS08 and VLMY233T2V2-GS08, VLMO233U1AA-GS08 offers the narrowest dominant wavelength band centered at 605 nm - making it optimal for applications demanding precise soft orange chromaticity without spectral drift into red or yellow regions.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for VLMO233U1AA-GS08?
The maximum continuous DC forward current for VLMO233U1AA-GS08 is 50 mA, but only when ambient temperature remains ≤60 °C and thermal resistance is maintained at 480 K/W via adequate PCB copper area (>16 mm²). At higher temperatures, derating is required per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
Is VLMO233U1AA-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, VLMO233U1AA-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for –40 to +100 °C operating temperature, making it suitable for dashboard illumination, interior lighting, and exterior indicator functions in passenger vehicles and commercial transport systems.
What does the "U1AA" suffix indicate in VLMO233U1AA-GS08?
The "U1AA" suffix denotes the luminous intensity bin (U = 450–560 mcd) and dominant wavelength bin (1 = 600–603 nm) per Vishay's classification table. This ensures consistent photometric performance within each reel shipped - no mixing of bins occurs.
Can VLMO233U1AA-GS08 be reflow soldered using lead-free processes?
Yes, VLMO233U1AA-GS08 is qualified for lead-free IR reflow per J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C for ≤10 s. The recommended profile includes ramp-up ≤3 °C/s, soak at 150–200 °C for 60–120 s, and liquidus time ≤60 s at ≥217 °C.
What is the viewing angle specification for VLMO233U1AA-GS08?
VLMO233U1AA-GS08 has an angle of half intensity of ±60°, meaning luminous intensity drops to 50% of its axial value at 60° off-center in both horizontal and vertical planes - enabling broad, uniform illumination ideal for panel-mounted symbols and switches.
