Product details
Overview
VLMO30L1M2-GS18 from Vishay Semiconductors is an orange AlInGaP 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 - optimized for automotive dashboard backlighting and indicator applications.
For engineers reviewing the VLMO30L1M2-GS18 datasheet, VLMO30L1M2-GS18 pinout, VLMO30L1M2-GS18 application, or VLMO30L1M2-GS18 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (Group L2), AEC-Q101 qualification, IR-reflow compatibility, and non-diffused lens design for efficient light-pipe coupling.
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. It operates at low current (2 mA test condition, 15 mA absolute max) and supports JEDEC level 2a preconditioning and JESD22-A114-B ESD rating up to 2 kV.
The device exhibits stable optical performance across -40 °C to +100 °C ambient range, with thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 400 K/W when mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB pad. Its non-diffused lens enables high-directional coupling efficiency into light guides and symbols.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar orange LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LOT67K-L1M2 | OSRAM equivalent; identical L2 intensity bin, same 600–609 nm dominant wavelength, PLCC-2 package | No AEC-Q101 qualification stated in OSRAM documentation; not validated for automotive temperature cycling | Select when sourcing flexibility is prioritized over automotive compliance; verify moisture sensitivity level before reflow |
| VLMO30K1M2-GS08 | Same Vishay family; lower intensity bin (K1: 7.1–28 mcd vs. L1M2's 11.2–28 mcd); GS08 tape (1500 pcs/reel) | Reduced brightness may require higher drive current or optical gain in low-ambient-light applications | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial indicators where full L2 brightness is unnecessary; note GS08 vs. GS18 tape quantity difference |
Compared with VLMO30L1M2-GS18, LOT67K-L1M2 offers identical optical specs but lacks automotive qualification, while VLMO30K1M2-GS08 trades brightness consistency for lower unit cost and smaller reel volume - making VLMO30L1M2-GS18 optimal for AEC-Q101–mandated designs requiring guaranteed L2-bin luminance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for VLMO30L1M2-GS18?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMO30L1M2-GS18 is 15 mA at Tamb = 25 °C. Operation above this value risks accelerated degradation and reduced lifetime. For reliable long-term use in automotive applications, Vishay recommends limiting continuous drive to ≤10 mA with appropriate thermal management on the PCB.
Is VLMO30L1M2-GS18 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMO30L1M2-GS18 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, supporting peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. The device has undergone JEDEC level 2a preconditioning and is rated for IR reflow, vapor phase, and wave soldering - confirmed in Vishay Document 81322 Rev. 2.0.
What does the "GS18" suffix indicate in VLMO30L1M2-GS18?
The "GS18" suffix denotes Vishay's antistatic 8 mm blister tape packaging option containing 8000 units per reel - the preferred high-volume configuration. It includes ESD-safe top tape, standardized reel dimensions (13.00 mm width, 62.5 mm diameter), and barcode labeling per Vishay's standard product label format (Document 81322, Fig. 10).
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMO30L1M2-GS18, and why does it matter?
VLMO30L1M2-GS18 is binned to Group L2 (14.0–18.0 mcd typical range), ensuring IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within each GS18 reel. This eliminates brightness variation across LEDs on the same PCB - critical for uniform backlighting in automotive dashboards and multi-LED status arrays where visual consistency is mandatory.
Does VLMO30L1M2-GS18 have automotive qualification, and what does that cover?
Yes, VLMO30L1M2-GS18 is AEC-Q101 qualified. This certification validates performance under automotive stress tests including temperature cycling (-40 °C to +125 °C), high-temperature operating life (1000 hrs at 100 °C), and mechanical shock (50 g). It confirms suitability for under-hood and cabin-mounted indicator and backlighting functions.
