Product details
Overview
VLMO335U2AA-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a soft orange power SMD LED in PLCC-2 package, utilizing AlInGaP-on-Si chip technology with 560–1400 mcd luminous intensity at 20 mA, 600–611 nm dominant wavelength, and 1.8–2.6 V forward voltage - deployed in dashboard illumination and indicator lighting requiring high-brightness, AEC-Q101-qualified emitters.
For engineers reviewing the VLMO335U2AA-GS08 datasheet, VLMO335U2AA-GS08 pinout, VLMO335U2AA-GS08 application, or VLMO335U2AA-GS08 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical/electrical specs, thermal resistance (400 K/W), ESD rating (2 kV), reflow compatibility, and real-world use context for automotive and industrial lighting design.
Technical Context
The VLMO335U2AA-GS08 operates as a surface-mount light-emitting diode with ±60° viewing angle and 17 nm spectral bandwidth at 50% Irel max, enabling uniform angular light distribution in compact indicator layouts. Its AlInGaP-on-Si die supports 50 mA DC forward current at Tamb ≤ 73 °C and achieves 3 mlm/mcd luminous flux-to-intensity ratio.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 400 K/W when mounted on a PCB pad >16 mm², and it meets JEDEC level 2a preconditioning and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. Reverse voltage tolerance is limited to 5 V for short-term applications only.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 560–1400 mcd at 20 mA - enables high-visibility indicators without excessive drive current |
| Dominant wavelength | 600–611 nm - defines soft orange chromaticity suitable for non-distracting dashboard and status lighting |
| Forward voltage | 1.8–2.6 V at 20 mA - compatible with standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic-supplied LED drivers |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide beam pattern for broad-area illumination from single emitter |
| Thermal resistance RthJA | 400 K/W - requires ≥16 mm² copper pad for thermal management at 50 mA operation |
| ESD withstand voltage | 2 kV per JESD22-A114-B - ensures robustness during automated handling and board assembly |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Yes - validated for automotive ambient temperature range (−40 to +100 °C) and humidity exposure |

Applications
| Traffic Signal Indicators | Automotive Dashboard Lighting |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Red/amber/yellow status indicators in traffic signal controller panels and roadside cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Light-emitting element providing human-visible status feedback under outdoor ambient conditions. Use Value: Soft orange chromaticity (600–611 nm) meets visibility requirements while minimizing glare; ±60° viewing angle ensures detection across wide cabinet frontage. |
Use Scenario: Backlighting for instrument cluster symbols, warning icons, and mode indicators in passenger vehicles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability visual annunciator operating continuously within automotive temperature and vibration profiles. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and −40 to +100 °C operation ensure functional stability; 560–1400 mcd intensity maintains legibility under varying cabin lighting. |
| Industrial Control Panel Indicators | Consumer Audio/Video Device Status Lights |
Use Scenario: Power-on, fault, and mode indicators on PLC I/O modules, HMI enclosures, and safety-rated control panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone optical output device driven directly from microcontroller GPIO or discrete transistor switch. Use Value: 2 kV ESD rating protects against field-service electrostatic events; PLCC-2 footprint allows dense layout without thermal derating concerns. |
Use Scenario: Power, mute, input select, and playback status LEDs on AV receivers, soundbars, and media streamers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power visible indicator synchronized with system firmware state transitions. Use Value: 1.8–2.6 V forward voltage aligns with 3.3 V rail regulation; soft orange hue provides distinct, non-intrusive visual identity versus red/green alternatives. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED emitter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMK335U1V2-GS08 | Orange red color (611–622 nm), lower luminous intensity (450–1120 mcd), same PLCC-2 package and 400 K/W thermal resistance | Better suited for applications requiring higher chromatic contrast against red signals or warm ambient lighting | Select when color point must shift toward longer wavelengths while retaining identical mechanical and thermal interface |
| VLMY335U1V2-GS08 | Yellow color (583–594 nm), slightly higher typical forward voltage (2.15 V), identical viewing angle and AEC-Q101 qualification | Preferred where warmer yellow tone improves readability in daylight-lit consumer interfaces | Choose for consumer-facing devices needing brighter perceived luminance at photopic response peak (~555 nm) |
Compared with VLMO335U2AA-GS08, VLMK335U1V2-GS08 offers redder chromaticity for enhanced signal differentiation, while VLMY335U1V2-GS08 delivers higher photopic efficacy in daylight-viewing scenarios - both share identical thermal, mechanical, and assembly characteristics but differ in spectral output and intensity grading.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for VLMO335U2AA-GS08?
The VLMO335U2AA-GS08 has a DC forward current rating of 50 mA at ambient temperatures ≤ 73 °C, as defined by its thermal resistance of 400 K/W and maximum junction temperature of 125 °C. Operation above this limit requires active thermal management or pulse-driven operation per Figure 1 in the datasheet. Derating is mandatory above 73 °C ambient.
Does VLMO335U2AA-GS08 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, VLMO335U2AA-GS08 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, including peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤100 s. Its package construction and preconditioning to JEDEC level 2a ensure reliability under standard Pb-free profiles without pre-baking when stored properly in sealed dry bags.
What does the "U2AA" suffix indicate in VLMO335U2AA-GS08?
In VLMO335U2AA-GS08, "U2AA" denotes the luminous intensity and dominant wavelength bin: "U" = intensity group (560–710 mcd), "2" = wavelength subgroup (602–605 nm), and "AA" = extended intensity range (1120–1400 mcd). This ensures consistent optical performance per reel - no mixing of bins occurs in GS08 packaging.
Is VLMO335U2AA-GS08 suitable for reverse-bias operation?
No - VLMO335U2AA-GS08 is not designed for sustained reverse-bias operation. Its absolute maximum reverse voltage is 5 V, specified only for short-term applications per datasheet Note (1). Continuous reverse conduction risks permanent degradation of the AlInGaP-on-Si junction and must be avoided in circuit design.
How is thermal management implemented for VLMO335U2AA-GS08 on PCB?
VLMO335U2AA-GS08 requires a minimum copper pad area of >16 mm² for effective heat dissipation, achieving its rated 400 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The PLCC-2 lead frame serves as the primary thermal path; thermal vias under the pad and inner-layer copper pours further reduce thermal impedance in high-density layouts.
