Product details
Overview
VLMP232N1P1-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount green LED with 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.8 mm SMD package, 565 nm dominant wavelength, 130 mcd minimum luminous intensity at 20 mA, and 3.2 V forward voltage. It serves as an indicator or backlight in automotive dashboards, industrial HMI panels, and telecom status displays.
For engineers reviewing the VLMP232N1P1-GS08 datasheet, VLMP232N1P1-GS08 pinout, VLMP232N1P1-GS08 application, or VLMP232N1P1-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity at 20 mA, dominant wavelength tolerance, reverse voltage rating, thermal resistance, and compatibility with IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This device is a single-die AlInGaP-based green LED optimized for high brightness and stable chromaticity under industrial temperature cycling. Its 565 nm dominant wavelength falls within the ANSI-defined green band (550–570 nm), and its 130 mcd luminous intensity is measured at 20 mA DC with 0.1 ms pulse width and 10% duty cycle.
The VLMP232N1P1-GS08 features a non-diffused lens for directional light output, low thermal resistance (450 K/W junction-to-board), and ESD robustness to ±8 kV (HBM) per JEDEC JS-001. It operates across –40 °C to +100 °C ambient, with maximum junction temperature limited to 125 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Color | Pure green - matches ANSI CIE 1931 chromaticity coordinates (x=0.29, y=0.62) for consistent visual signaling. |
| Dominant Wavelength | 565 nm ±5 nm - ensures precise spectral alignment for color-critical indicators and machine vision feedback. |
| Luminous Intensity | 130–320 mcd at 20 mA - provides sufficient visibility in both dimmed and brightly lit environments without excessive power draw. |
| Forward Voltage | 3.2 V typical at 20 mA - enables direct drive from 3.3 V logic rails with minimal series resistance. |
| Reverse Voltage | 5 V maximum - supports safe operation in bidirectional or AC-coupled indicator circuits. |
| Junction-to-Board Thermal Resistance | 450 K/W - allows reliable thermal dissipation on standard FR-4 PCBs without heatsinking. |
| ESD Rating | ±8 kV HBM - eliminates need for external ESD protection in most industrial control panel layouts. |
Pinout & Package
VLMP232N1P1-GS08 uses a 2-pin surface-mount package (SMD) with cathode-marked anode/cathode terminals. The package measures 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.8 mm (L × W × H) and conforms to JEDEC MO-248 (SOD-123FL) outline dimensions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Current input terminal | Connected to positive supply via current-limiting resistor; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse-bias damage. |
| Cathode (K) | Current return terminal | Marked by cathode band on package; tied to ground or sink driver; determines forward conduction direction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-profile SMD package | 0.8 mm height enables integration into space-constrained front-panel overlays and thin display bezels. |
| High luminous intensity | 130 mcd min at 20 mA delivers clear visibility at viewing angles up to ±30° without secondary optics. |
| Automotive-grade reliability | AEC-Q101 qualified - validated for thermal shock, humidity, and vibration per automotive electronics requirements. |
| IR-reflow compatible | Rated for peak reflow temperature of 260 °C per J-STD-020 - supports automated assembly without degradation. |
| Non-diffused lens | Directional beam pattern (±30° half-intensity angle) minimizes crosstalk in multi-LED arrays. |
Applications
| Automotive Dashboard Indicators | Industrial HMI Status Lights |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Illuminated warning icons (e.g., ABS, airbag, battery) on vehicle instrument clusters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Visual status emitter driven directly by microcontroller GPIO or discrete transistor switch.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar green LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMY232U1P1-GS08 | Yellow-green variant (570 nm dominant wavelength); identical package, footprint, and drive conditions. | Better contrast against red alerts in dual-color status systems; slightly lower luminous efficacy than pure green. | Select when color differentiation between green/yellow states is required without changing PCB layout. |
| TLML5100RGBW | RGBW quad-chip package (3.2 mm × 2.7 mm); requires separate current control per channel; not drop-in. | Enables dynamic color coding and brightness adjustment - unsuitable for fixed-green-only use cases. | Choose only if system-level design requires programmable color output; not a functional replacement for VLMP232N1P1-GS08. |
Compared with VLMP232N1P1-GS08, VLMY232U1P1-GS08 offers identical mechanical and electrical compatibility with a shifted chromaticity point, while TLML5100RGBW introduces complexity in drive circuitry and layout - making it suitable only for new designs requiring multi-color capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for VLMP232N1P1-GS08?
The VLMP232N1P1-GS08 has a maximum continuous forward current of 30 mA. Operating at 20 mA is recommended for optimal luminous intensity stability and lifetime. Exceeding 30 mA risks accelerated lumen depreciation and potential junction failure, especially above 85 °C ambient temperature.
Does VLMP232N1P1-GS08 require current-limiting resistors in series?
Yes, VLMP232N1P1-GS08 requires a series current-limiting resistor when driven from a fixed voltage source. At 3.3 V supply and 20 mA target current, a 5.6 Ω resistor compensates for the 3.2 V forward voltage and ensures stable operation across process and temperature variation.
Is VLMP232N1P1-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMP232N1P1-GS08 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its package withstands peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 30 seconds, and the device is qualified for moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 - unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60% RH.
What is the viewing angle specification for VLMP232N1P1-GS08?
The VLMP232N1P1-GS08 has a viewing angle of ±30° (60° total) at half-intensity. This directional emission profile is achieved via its non-diffused epoxy lens and supports focused illumination in linear LED arrays or tight-spaced indicator clusters without optical crosstalk.
Can VLMP232N1P1-GS08 be used in reverse-biased configurations?
No, VLMP232N1P1-GS08 must not be operated in reverse bias beyond its rated 5 V maximum reverse voltage. Sustained reverse voltage >5 V causes irreversible junction breakdown. For AC-driven applications, external diode clamping or series blocking diodes are required.
