Product details
Overview
VLMP23L2M2-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a pure green Mini SMD LED in a 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm low-profile package, rated for 20 mA forward current, 2.2 V typical forward voltage, and 560 nm dominant wavelength, with ±60° viewing angle and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive dashboard backlighting.
For engineers reviewing the VLMP23L2M2-GS08 datasheet, VLMP23L2M2-GS08 pinout, VLMP23L2M2-GS08 application, or VLMP23L2M2-GS08 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical/electrical specs, thermal limits, tape-and-reel packaging details, IR reflow compatibility, and validated alternatives for indicator and backlight designs in harsh environments.
Technical Context
This AlInGaP-on-GaAs LED operates at 20 mA with luminous intensity spanning 14–28 mcd and dominant wavelength tightly binned between 555–565 nm. Its ±60° half-intensity angle and non-diffused lens support precise light coupling into light pipes and LCD symbols.
Rated for -40 °C to +100 °C ambient operation and junction temperature up to +125 °C, it features 580 K/W thermal resistance (mounted on >5 mm² pad) and 5 V reverse voltage tolerance - enabling robust use in automotive instrument clusters and industrial control panels under thermal cycling stress.

Pinout & Package
VLMP23L2M2-GS08 uses a 2-pin surface-mount MiniLED package with cathode marked by indentation on the top surface. The device has no internal polarity reversal protection; reverse bias must be limited to ≤5 V per absolute maximum ratings.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive terminal | Connected to current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver output; requires 2.2–2.6 V headroom above cathode |
| Cathode (K) | Negative terminal | Marked by physical indentation; tied to ground or low-side switch; reverse voltage must not exceed 5 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables efficient coupling into light guides and edge-lit LCD backlights without scattering loss |
| Luminous intensity ratio ≤1.6 | Ensures consistent brightness across LEDs on same reel, reducing bin-matching effort in production |
| IR reflow solderable | Compatible with J-STD-020 lead-free profile (peak 255 °C, ≤120 s), eliminating hand-soldering steps |
| Low power dissipation (80 mW) | Minimizes localized heating on dense PCBs and extends lifetime in thermally constrained assemblies |
| 8 mm tape packaging (3000 pcs/reel) | Supports high-speed automated placement with standard pick-and-place feeders |

Use Value: Non-diffused lens couples efficiently into molded button light-pipes, achieving >90% light transfer versus diffused alternatives. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar green LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OSRAM LPM676-L1M2 | Same 560 nm dominant wavelength, but 12–24 mcd intensity range and ±50° viewing angle | Slightly narrower beam reduces off-axis glare in compact telecom keypads | Select when tighter angular control is prioritized over maximum luminous intensity |
| Vishay VLMS23L2M2-GS08 | Identical package and footprint, but blue-green variant (505 nm) with 12–22 mcd output | Used where color differentiation from pure green is required (e.g., status vs. warning indicators) | Choose for cross-color consistency in multi-LED UIs where mechanical fit must match exactly |
Compared with OSRAM LPM676-L1M2 and Vishay VLMS23L2M2-GS08, VLMP23L2M2-GS08 delivers the highest luminous intensity (up to 28 mcd) and widest viewing angle (±60°) in its package size, making it optimal for applications demanding high visibility across broad operator angles without optical add-ons.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMP23L2M2-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMP23L2M2-GS08 is 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤80 °C. However, the device is characterized and binned at 20 mA, and sustained operation above this level reduces luminous output lifetime and increases junction temperature beyond design margins. For reliable long-term performance, VLMP23L2M2-GS08 should be operated at or below 20 mA with appropriate current-limiting circuitry.
Is VLMP23L2M2-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMP23L2M2-GS08 is fully compatible with lead-free IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020, supporting a peak temperature of 255 °C for ≤120 seconds. The device's package construction and termination finish meet Vishay's Pb-free standard, and the recommended profile includes ramp rates of ≤3 °C/s (up) and ≤6 °C/s (down), with time above 217 °C limited to ≤30 seconds. VLMP23L2M2-GS08 must be stored per JESD22-A112 Level 2a prior to reflow.
What does the "M2" suffix in VLMP23L2M2-GS08 indicate?
The "M2" suffix in VLMP23L2M2-GS08 denotes the luminous intensity bin: M-group, second sub-bin (22.4–28 mcd at 20 mA). Vishay bins VLMP23L2M2-GS08 by intensity to ensure consistent brightness within each reel - no mixing of intensity groups occurs. The full part number guarantees delivery of only M2-binned devices, enabling predictable optical performance in production without post-assembly sorting.
Can VLMP23L2M2-GS08 be used in reverse-bias configurations?
No, VLMP23L2M2-GS08 is not designed for reverse-bias operation. While the datasheet notes reverse conduction is "suitable for short term application," the absolute maximum reverse voltage is only 5 V, and prolonged or repeated reverse bias risks permanent degradation of the AlInGaP die. For bidirectional signaling, discrete protection diodes or dedicated dual-LED packages must be used instead of relying on VLMP23L2M2-GS08 in reverse mode.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for VLMP23L2M2-GS08?
The thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RthJA) for VLMP23L2M2-GS08 is 580 K/W when mounted on a printed circuit board with copper pad area exceeding 5 mm². This value assumes standard FR-4 substrate and natural convection cooling. Reducing pad size or omitting thermal vias increases RthJA significantly - for example, a 2 mm² pad raises resistance to ~750 K/W, directly impacting maximum allowable forward current at elevated ambient temperatures. VLMP23L2M2-GS08 thermal performance must be validated in the final layout.
