Product details
Overview
VLMP232M2P1-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount green LED with dominant wavelength of 525 nm, luminous intensity of 120 mcd at 20 mA, and forward voltage of 2.1 V. It uses AlInGaP technology in a MiniLED 0805 package (2.0 × 1.25 × 0.8 mm), optimized for indicator and backlighting applications in automotive dashboards and industrial control panels.
For engineers reviewing the VLMP232M2P1-GS08 datasheet, VLMP232M2P1-GS08 pinout, VLMP232M2P1-GS08 application, or VLMP232M2P1-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity at 20 mA, viewing angle (130°), reverse voltage rating (5 V), ESD tolerance per JESD22-A114 (±8 kV HBM), and compatibility with IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die, non-diffused green LED emitting at 525 nm peak wavelength with 515–535 nm spectral bandwidth. Its 130° viewing angle and Lambertian radiation pattern enable uniform illumination across compact PCB layouts without secondary optics.
Rated for 20 mA DC forward current and 5 V reverse voltage, it supports JEDEC Level 1 moisture sensitivity and complies with JESD22-A114 Class 3B ESD immunity. The device operates from −40°C to +100°C junction temperature and features low thermal resistance (RthJL = 400 K/W) due to its low-profile MiniLED package.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar green LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMY232U2P1-GS08 | Yellow-green variant (570 nm), 115 mcd @ 20 mA, same package and drive characteristics | Suitable where color coding requires yellow-green differentiation (e.g., caution vs. active states) | Select when spectral distinction from pure green is required; identical layout and thermal behavior |
| TLML5100GUS | Same 525 nm dominant wavelength but higher intensity (180 mcd @ 20 mA); 1206 package (3.2 × 1.6 mm) | Requires PCB layout change; better suited for long-distance visibility or high-ambient-light settings | Choose only if higher luminance justifies larger footprint and revised thermal design |
Compared with VLMP232M2P1-GS08, VLMY232U2P1-GS08 offers color variation without electrical or mechanical redesign, while TLML5100GUS delivers greater brightness at the cost of increased board area and thermal mass - making VLMP232M2P1-GS08 optimal for space-constrained, cost-sensitive indicator applications demanding proven automotive-grade reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for VLMP232M2P1-GS08?
The VLMP232M2P1-GS08 is rated for 30 mA maximum continuous forward current, though its typical operating point is 20 mA to balance luminous output, thermal rise, and lifetime. At 20 mA, the device achieves 120 mcd intensity with 2.1 V forward drop and maintains >90% lumen maintenance after 10,000 hours at 25°C ambient.
Is VLMP232M2P1-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMP232M2P1-GS08 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with a peak reflow temperature of 260°C and JEDEC Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 - meaning it can be placed directly onto PCBs without baking, even after extended dry storage.
Does VLMP232M2P1-GS08 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, VLMP232M2P1-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including temperature cycling (−40°C to +125°C, 1000 cycles), high-temperature operating life (1000 h at 100°C), and mechanical shock (2940 m/s²). This validates its suitability for under-hood and dashboard applications.
What is the reverse voltage rating of VLMP232M2P1-GS08, and why does it matter in system design?
The VLMP232M2P1-GS08 has a maximum reverse voltage rating of 5 V. This specification is critical in systems where accidental polarity reversal may occur during service or wiring - exceeding 5 V in reverse bias risks permanent junction damage, so protection diodes or polarity-check circuitry should be considered in high-risk installations.
How is luminous intensity measured for VLMP232M2P1-GS08, and what does 120 mcd mean in practice?
Luminous intensity for VLMP232M2P1-GS08 is measured at 20 mA DC forward current with a 0.1 ms pulse width and 10% duty cycle, per CIE 127:2007 standard. A value of 120 mcd means the LED emits 120 millicandelas along its optical axis - sufficient for clear visibility at distances up to 2 meters in typical indoor lighting and up to 1 meter in bright daylight.
