Product details
Overview
VLMO30K1M2-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is an orange AlInGaP surface-mount LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 7.1–28 mcd luminous intensity at 2 mA forward current, with dominant wavelength 600–609 nm and ±60° viewing angle-designed for automotive dashboard backlighting and indicator applications.
For engineers reviewing the VLMO30K1M2-GS08 datasheet, VLMO30K1M2-GS08 pinout, VLMO30K1M2-GS08 application, or VLMO30K1M2-GS08 equivalent, this low-current SMD LED supports IR reflow soldering, meets AEC-Q101 qualification, and offers ESD tolerance up to 2 kV-key selection criteria for automotive-grade indicators and space-constrained backlighting designs.
Technical Context
This orange LED uses AlInGaP semiconductor technology on a thermoplastic PLCC-2 lead frame package with clear epoxy lens and white reflector cavity. Its non-diffused lens enables efficient coupling to light pipes and LCD backlight guides.
Rated for DC forward current up to 15 mA and reverse voltage up to 6 V, it operates across –40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature with thermal resistance of 400 K/W (mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB pad), supporting reliable performance in automotive and industrial environments.

Applications
| Automotive Dashboard Backlighting | Office Equipment Indicator |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Illuminating segmented symbols and icons on vehicle instrument clusters and center console panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Light-emitting component driven by constant-current LED driver ICs or microcontroller GPIO with current-limiting resistor. Use Value: ±60° viewing angle ensures visibility across driver's seating position; AEC-Q101 qualification guarantees long-term reliability under automotive thermal cycling. |
Use Scenario: Status indication for power-on, data transfer, or error conditions on printers, scanners, and multifunction devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Visual feedback element controlled by MCU or ASIC output pins with minimal external components. Use Value: Low 2 mA drive requirement reduces MCU I/O loading; non-diffused lens delivers sharp, localized light spots for precise symbol definition. |

|
Use Scenario: Edge-lit backlight for keypad legends and display bezels in telephony and fax equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary light source coupled into light guide via direct mounting or reflective housing. Use Value: Clear epoxy lens and white reflector maximize luminous efficacy; 600–609 nm orange provides high contrast against dark backgrounds. |
Use Scenario: Power and mode status lighting in portable speakers, headphones, and Bluetooth audio accessories. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power visual indicator powered directly from Li-ion battery rail or LDO output. Use Value: 1.8–2.2 V forward voltage aligns with battery discharge curve; 2 mA operation extends battery life significantly versus higher-current LEDs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar orange LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMO30L1M2-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity (11.2–28 mcd vs. 7.1–28 mcd) at same 2 mA drive; identical wavelength and package | Better suited for applications requiring higher brightness without increasing current or changing layout | Select when higher visible output is needed while retaining same footprint and drive conditions |
| LOT67K-K1M2 (OSRAM) | Cross-referenced OEM alternative; same orange dominant wavelength (600–609 nm) and PLCC-2 package but different binning structure | May require validation of intensity distribution and thermal derating in high-density layouts | Consider for multi-source procurement where OSRAM supply chain alignment is required |
Compared with VLMO30K1M2-GS08, VLMO30L1M2-GS08 offers higher minimum intensity for improved visibility in ambient light, while LOT67K-K1M2 provides a second-source option with verified optical equivalence but distinct manufacturing traceability and binning methodology.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMO30K1M2-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMO30K1M2-GS08 is 15 mA at Tamb = 25 °C. Continuous operation above 2 mA should account for thermal derating-junction temperature must not exceed 125 °C. At elevated ambient temperatures, the safe operating current decreases per the derating curve in Figure 1 of the Vishay datasheet 81322. VLMO30K1M2-GS08 is optimized for low-current operation, and sustained use at 15 mA requires careful PCB thermal design.
Is VLMO30K1M2-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMO30K1M2-GS08 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, supporting peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. The recommended profile includes ramp-up ≤3 °C/s, preheat 150–200 °C, soak 180–200 °C for 60–120 s, and liquidus >217 °C for 30–60 s. This ensures reliable joint formation without damaging the PLCC-2 package or epoxy lens. VLMO30K1M2-GS08 has undergone preconditioning per JEDEC level 2a.
What does the "M2" suffix in VLMO30K1M2-GS08 indicate?
The "M2" suffix in VLMO30K1M2-GS08 denotes the luminous intensity bin group per Vishay's classification table: M-group, second sub-bin (M2), covering 22.4–28.0 mcd at 2 mA. This binning ensures intensity consistency within each reel-no mixing of bins occurs. The "K1" prefix indicates the brightness subgroup (K = 7.1–9.0 mcd, K1 = lower half), while "M2" reflects the final shipped intensity range. VLMO30K1M2-GS08 thus ships with measured intensity between 7.1 and 28 mcd, tightly controlled per reel.
Does VLMO30K1M2-GS08 have polarity markings on the package?
Yes, VLMO30K1M2-GS08 uses standard PLCC-2 polarity identification: a small dot or notch on the package top surface marks the cathode (K) side. When viewed from above with the dot at the upper-left corner, the left pin is cathode and the right pin is anode. This matches the pinout shown in Vishay drawing 6.541-5067.01-4. Correct orientation is critical-reverse voltage must not exceed 6 V per absolute maximum ratings.
Can VLMO30K1M2-GS08 be used in outdoor signage applications?
VLMO30K1M2-GS08 is not rated for direct outdoor exposure due to lack of IP-rated encapsulation or UV-stabilized lens material. Its operating temperature range (–40 °C to +100 °C) supports industrial enclosures, but prolonged UV exposure may degrade the clear epoxy lens over time. For outdoor signage, consider Vishay's UV-stable or silicone-encapsulated LED variants. VLMO30K1M2-GS08 remains suitable for indoor signage, control panels, and protected exterior housings where environmental sealing is provided externally.
