Product details
Overview
VLMP31G2J1-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount pure green LED in PLCC-2 package, featuring luminous intensity of 2.24–5.6 mcd at 6 mA, dominant wavelength 555–565 nm, and ±60° viewing angle. It uses AlInGaP-on-GaAs technology, supports IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive backlighting.
For engineers reviewing the VLMP31G2J1-GS08 datasheet, VLMP31G2J1-GS08 pinout, VLMP31G2J1-GS08 application, or VLMP31G2J1-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (Group J), forward voltage range (2.1–2.8 V at 20 mA), thermal resistance (400 K/W), and compatibility with automated placement and wave/IR reflow processes.
Technical Context
This device is a monochromatic visible-light emitter optimized for indicator and backlight functions in space-constrained SMD layouts. Its PLCC-2 package integrates a white thermoplastic lead frame and clear epoxy lens, enabling high reflectivity and non-diffused light output ideal for coupling to light pipes.
It operates within -40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature range, with maximum junction temperature of 125 °C and ESD withstand voltage up to 2 kV (HBM). Luminous intensity is binned per JEDEC-compliant preconditioning (Level 2a), ensuring consistent brightness grouping within each reel (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 2.24–5.6 mcd at 6 mA - defines brightness tier for visual indication under low-current drive |
| Dominant wavelength | 555–565 nm - ensures consistent pure green color perception across operating conditions |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination suitable for panel backlighting and symbol lighting |
| Forward voltage | 2.1–2.8 V at 20 mA - determines minimum supply headroom and series resistor sizing |
| Max forward current | 30 mA continuous - sets upper limit for DC drive and pulse derating calculations |
| Junction-to-ambient Rth | 400 K/W on >16 mm² pad - informs thermal layout requirements for sustained operation |
| ESD rating | 2 kV HBM - mandates ESD-safe handling during assembly and board-level testing |
Pinout & Package
The VLMP31G2J1-GS08 is housed in a 2-pin PLCC-2 surface-mount package with non-diffused lens and white thermoplastic body. Pin identification follows standard PLCC-2 orientation: Cathode (pin 1) and Anode (pin 2), with cathode marked by a notch on the package edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (pin 2) | Positive terminal | Connected to current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver output; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse breakdown |
| Cathode (pin 1) | Negative terminal | Typically tied to ground or low-side switch; notch on package identifies this pin for automated optical alignment |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock |
| Luminous intensity binning (Group J) | Ensures brightness consistency across reels-no mixing of intensity groups per tape unit |
| Non-diffused lens | Enables efficient coupling into light guides and backlights without scattering loss |
| JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning | Guarantees moisture sensitivity level compliance for safe reflow processing without baking |
| Low profile PLCC-2 footprint | Height ≤ 2.2 mm enables integration in ultra-thin displays and compact control panels |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar visible-light indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMP31H2J2-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity (3.55–7.1 mcd) in same Group J bin; identical package and spectral specs | Better suited for applications requiring higher visibility in bright ambient conditions | Select when higher brightness is needed without changing layout or drive circuitry |
| VLMP3102-GS08 | Lower intensity range (2.8–5.6 mcd), Group G/H binning; same wavelength, VF, and package | Targeted for cost-sensitive consumer indicators where moderate brightness suffices | Choose for non-automotive applications where AEC-Q101 is not required and lower intensity is acceptable |
Compared with VLMP31G2J1-GS08, VLMP31H2J2-GS08 offers higher luminance for demanding visibility, while VLMP3102-GS08 provides a lower-cost alternative with relaxed brightness requirements-both retain identical thermal, electrical, and mechanical interfaces.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity range of the VLMP31G2J1-GS08 LED?
The VLMP31G2J1-GS08 has a luminous intensity range of 2.24–5.6 mcd when tested at 6 mA pulsed current. This value corresponds to Group J binning per Vishay's classification table, ensuring consistent brightness within each reel. The measurement uses a 25 ms pulse width and ±11 % accuracy tolerance, as specified in the official datasheet.
Is the VLMP31G2J1-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the VLMP31G2J1-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock required for automotive under-hood and cabin applications. Its operating temperature range of -40 °C to +100 °C and junction temperature limit of 125 °C further support use in dashboard backlighting and switch illumination.
What is the forward voltage specification for VLMP31G2J1-GS08?
The VLMP31G2J1-GS08 has a forward voltage range of 2.1–2.8 V when driven at 20 mA DC. This parameter is critical for calculating series resistor values in constant-voltage drive configurations and influences power dissipation (max 80 mW) and thermal design on the PCB.
Does VLMP31G2J1-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
No-VLMP31G2J1-GS08 is preconditioned to JEDEC Level 2a and shipped in dry-packed antistatic tape. If stored and handled per Vishay's guidelines (≤672 hours at <30 °C / 60 % RH after bag opening), no baking is required prior to IR reflow. Baking is only necessary if moisture exposure exceeds these limits.
What package type and pin configuration does VLMP31G2J1-GS08 use?
The VLMP31G2J1-GS08 uses a 2-pin PLCC-2 surface-mount package with a non-diffused lens and white thermoplastic body. Pin 1 is the cathode (marked by a package notch), and Pin 2 is the anode. The recommended footprint matches Vishay's drawing No. 6.541-5067.01-4 with 2.6 mm × 1.6 mm pad dimensions.
