Product details
Overview
VLMO31K1L2-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount soft orange LED in PLCC-2 package, with luminous intensity of 7.1–18 mcd at 10 mA, dominant wavelength 598–611 nm, and ±60° viewing angle-designed for indicator and backlighting applications in office equipment and LCD panels.
For engineers reviewing the VLMO31K1L2-GS08 datasheet, VLMO31K1L2-GS08 pinout, VLMO31K1L2-GS08 application, or VLMO31K1L2-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (L-group), forward voltage range (2.0–2.8 V at 20 mA), thermal resistance (400 K/W), ESD rating (2 kV), and compatibility with IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This soft orange LED uses GaAsP-on-GaP technology to deliver stable chromaticity within tight wavelength bins (600–603 nm, 602–605 nm, etc.) and narrow luminous intensity ratio (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel). It operates at DC forward current up to 20 mA with junction temperature limited to 100 °C.
The PLCC-2 package features a white thermoplastic body with embedded lead frame and clear epoxy-filled reflector, enabling high coupling efficiency to light pipes and low-profile backlighting. Its non-diffused lens and ±60° half-intensity angle support directional illumination without secondary optics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 7.1–18 mcd at 10 mA - defines brightness range for consistent visual indication across production reels |
| Dominant wavelength | 598–611 nm - ensures soft orange color fidelity suitable for status indicators and human-factor lighting |
| Forward voltage | 2.0–2.8 V at 20 mA - determines series resistor sizing and power budget in 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level drive circuits |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide but controlled dispersion for uniform panel backlighting and front-panel visibility |
| ESD withstand | 2 kV HBM - enables safe handling during automated placement without additional ESD mitigation on board |
| Junction-to-ambient Rth | 400 K/W on >16 mm² pad - informs thermal pad design for continuous operation at 20 mA in ambient up to +74 °C |
| Reverse voltage | 6 V - allows brief reverse-bias operation per note (1), useful in multiplexed display drivers |
Pinout & Package
The VLMO31K1L2-GS08 is housed in a 2-pin PLCC-2 SMD package with molded white thermoplastic body, non-diffused lens, and lead frame embedded in clear epoxy. Recommended footprint matches 2.8 mm × 2.2 mm pad layout with 1.75 mm center-to-center pin spacing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive LED terminal | Connected to current source or microcontroller GPIO via current-limiting resistor; polarity must be observed during placement |
| Cathode (K) | Negative LED terminal | Typically tied to ground or sink driver; marking dot on package identifies cathode side per drawing 6.541-5067.01-4 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Non-diffused lens | Enables efficient coupling into light guides and edge-lit LCD backlights without optical loss from diffusion |
| JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning | Guarantees moisture sensitivity compliance for lead-free reflow - supports standard factory SMT line integration |
| EIA/ICE-standard PLCC-2 footprint | Ensures compatibility with industry-standard pick-and-place nozzles and stencil designs |
| Low profile (3.5 mm height) | Permits use in space-constrained front panels and ultra-thin display bezels |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMO31J1K2-GS08 | Luminous intensity range 4.5–11.2 mcd (J-group) - lower brightness tier than VLMO31K1L2-GS08's L-group | Suitable where reduced visual prominence is acceptable, e.g., low-attention status lights | Select when tighter brightness control at lower output is required; not interchangeable without optical recalibration |
| OSRAM LOT670-K1L2 | Same luminous intensity bin (K1L2), identical soft orange chromaticity, but different mechanical tolerances and tape packaging | Drop-in compatible in optical function; requires validation of solder paste volume and reflow profile due to minor footprint variation | Use for dual-sourcing where Vishay supply continuity is constrained; verify tape feed compatibility with placement equipment |
Compared with VLMO31J1K2-GS08 and OSRAM LOT670-K1L2, the VLMO31K1L2-GS08 offers higher minimum luminous intensity (7.1 mcd vs. 4.5 mcd) and tighter binning consistency, making it preferred for applications demanding uniform appearance across multi-LED interfaces without post-assembly sorting.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity range of the VLMO31K1L2-GS08 at 10 mA?
The VLMO31K1L2-GS08 has a luminous intensity range of 7.1–18 mcd at 10 mA, corresponding to its L-group binning classification. This range ensures consistent brightness across reels, with IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per packaging unit, critical for uniform appearance in multi-LED user interfaces. The VLMO31K1L2-GS08 is tested using a 25 ms current pulse with ±11% measurement accuracy.
What is the dominant wavelength specification for VLMO31K1L2-GS08?
The dominant wavelength of the VLMO31K1L2-GS08 is specified as 598–611 nm at 10 mA, placing it firmly in the soft orange spectrum. This range supports human-factor compliant status indication and avoids blue-light hazards. The VLMO31K1L2-GS08 uses GaAsP-on-GaP technology to achieve this stable chromaticity, with wavelength binned into six groups (1–6) per datasheet Table "COLOR CLASSIFICATION".
Can VLMO31K1L2-GS08 be used in reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the VLMO31K1L2-GS08 is qualified for lead-free IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with a peak temperature of 255 °C (max 260 °C) for ≤10 seconds. It also supports vapor-phase and wave soldering per CECC standards. The VLMO31K1L2-GS08 requires JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning and must be baked if exposed to ambient >60% RH for >672 hours after bag opening.
What is the maximum DC forward current rating for VLMO31K1L2-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMO31K1L2-GS08 is 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤74 °C. Exceeding this limit risks accelerated degradation and thermal runaway. At 20 mA, the forward voltage ranges from 2.0–2.8 V, and power dissipation must remain ≤56 mW. Derating is required above 74 °C ambient, per Fig. 1 in the datasheet.
Does VLMO31K1L2-GS08 have polarity markings on the package?
Yes, the VLMO31K1L2-GS08 PLCC-2 package includes a polarity marking: a dot or notch on the cathode side of the molded body, aligned with Pin 2 per drawing 6.541-5067.01-4. This marking is visible under magnification and corresponds to the cathode terminal in the pinout table. Correct orientation is essential during automated placement to avoid reverse-bias damage during initial power-up.
