Product details
Overview
VLMO30L1M2-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is an orange AlInGaP-based surface-mount LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 11.2–28 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 VLMO30L1M2-GS08 datasheet, VLMO30L1M2-GS08 pinout, VLMO30L1M2-GS08 application, or VLMO30L1M2-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-current operation (2 mA), AEC-Q101 qualification, ESD tolerance up to 2 kV, and compatibility with IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
The VLMO30L1M2-GS08 uses AlInGaP semiconductor technology optimized for visible orange emission, with a non-diffused lens enabling efficient coupling to light pipes and uniform backlighting. Its PLCC-2 package features a white thermoplastic body and clear epoxy-filled reflector for high optical efficiency.
Rated for continuous DC forward current of 15 mA and reverse voltage up to 6 V, it operates across –40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature and meets JEDEC level 2a preconditioning and AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements for automotive-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 11.2–28 mcd at 2 mA - enables visibility in low-power indicator and backlight designs without external amplification |

| Forward voltage | 1.8–2.2 V at 2 mA - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-supplied LED drivers and low-dropout bias networks |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination for panel-level backlighting and multi-position indicator visibility |
| ESD withstand | 2 kV HBM (JESD22-A114-B) - supports robust handling in automated SMT lines without additional protection circuitry |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Yes - validated for automotive electronics including instrument clusters and control switches requiring extended temperature and lifetime reliability |
| Luminous intensity ratio | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel - ensures consistent brightness across production reels for uniform visual appearance in multi-LED arrays |
Pinout & Package
VLMO30L1M2-GS08 uses a 2-pin PLCC-2 surface-mount package with standard cathode/anode configuration and 1.75 mm × 2.8 mm footprint. The package features a non-diffused lens and white thermoplastic body with internal reflector.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive terminal | Connected to current source or driver output; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse-bias damage |
| Cathode (K) | Negative terminal | Typically tied to ground or sink driver; reverse voltage rating limited to 6 V maximum |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-current operation | Optimized for 2 mA drive - reduces power consumption and thermal load in battery-powered and space-constrained systems |
| Non-diffused lens | Enables direct coupling to light guides and edge-lit LCD backlights without secondary optics or diffusers |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use including dashboard indicators, HVAC controls, and switch backlighting under extended temperature cycling |
| IR reflow compatible | Withstands peak temperatures up to 260 °C per J-STD-020 - supports high-volume automated assembly without degradation |
| ESD robustness | 2 kV HBM rating - eliminates need for discrete TVS protection in most PCB layouts, simplifying BOM and layout |
Applications
| Automotive Dashboard Backlighting | Office Equipment Indicators |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Illuminating segmented symbols and icons on automotive instrument cluster PCBs under varying ambient lighting conditions. 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: AEC-Q101 qualification and –40 °C to +100 °C operation ensure reliable symbol visibility across vehicle lifecycle and environmental extremes. |
Use Scenario: Status indication for power-on, data transfer, and error conditions on printers, scanners, and multifunction devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete visual feedback element controlled by MCU I/O pins or dedicated LED driver ASICs. Use Value: Low 2 mA drive requirement extends battery life in portable office peripherals and reduces heat generation near sensitive sensors. |
| Telecom Device Backlighting | Audio/Video Equipment Indicators |
|
Use Scenario: Edge-lit backlight for membrane keypads and display overlays in VoIP phones and fax machines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary light source coupled directly to light pipe or diffuser film; driven by low-voltage constant-current source. Use Value: Non-diffused lens and ±60° viewing angle deliver uniform, glare-free illumination across keypad area without optical loss. |
Use Scenario: Power, mute, input selection, and signal presence indicators on AV receivers, amplifiers, and streaming devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone indicator LED connected to system controller or analog front-end monitoring circuit. Use Value: Orange emission (600–609 nm) provides high contrast against black/dark panels and avoids blue-light interference with display content. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar orange LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LOT67K-L1M2 | OSRAM equivalent with identical luminous intensity bin (L1M2), same PLCC-2 package, and matching 600–609 nm dominant wavelength | No functional difference; validated cross-reference per Vishay's official crossing table | Select when OSRAM-sourced supply chain or dual-sourcing strategy is required |
| VLMO30K1M2-GS08 | Same orange AlInGaP die and package, but lower luminous intensity range (7.1–28 mcd vs. 11.2–28 mcd) and different brightness bin (K1M2) | Suitable where reduced brightness suffices and tighter luminance tolerance is not required | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where full L1M2 intensity is unnecessary |
Compared with VLMO30L1M2-GS08, LOT67K-L1M2 offers identical photometric and mechanical specs with alternate sourcing, while VLMO30K1M2-GS08 trades intensity headroom for lower typical output-both require no PCB redesign but differ in brightness consistency and supply-chain alignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for VLMO30L1M2-GS08?
The VLMO30L1M2-GS08 has a maximum DC forward current rating of 15 mA at Tamb = 25 °C. Operation above this value requires derating per the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RthJA = 400 K/W) and ambient temperature conditions specified in the datasheet. Exceeding 15 mA may compromise long-term reliability and luminous output stability.
Is VLMO30L1M2-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMO30L1M2-GS08 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, supporting peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤100 s. The device meets Vishay's Pb-free reflow profile with ramp rates ≤3 °C/s (up) and ≤6 °C/s (down), and has passed JEDEC level 2a preconditioning for moisture sensitivity.
Does VLMO30L1M2-GS08 have AEC-Q101 qualification, and what does that cover?
Yes, VLMO30L1M2-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified. This certification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling, humidity bias, ESD (HBM ≥2 kV), and mechanical shock-validating its suitability for automotive interior applications such as dashboard indicators and switch backlighting.
What is the luminous intensity binning specification for VLMO30L1M2-GS08?
VLMO30L1M2-GS08 is binned to the L1M2 group: minimum 11.2 mcd and maximum 28 mcd at 2 mA. Per Vishay documentation, IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within one packaging unit (reel), ensuring consistent brightness across all units shipped in a single GS08 tape (1500 pcs).
Can VLMO30L1M2-GS08 be used in reverse-bias configurations?
VLMO30L1M2-GS08 permits short-term reverse bias up to 6 V (VR), as noted in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, reverse conduction is not intended for continuous operation and should be limited to transient conditions only-such as ESD protection clamping-since prolonged reverse bias degrades LED performance and reliability.
