Product details
Overview
VLMP31G2J2-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount pure green LED in PLCC-2 package, built on AlInGaP-on-GaAs technology, with dominant wavelength 555–565 nm, luminous intensity 3.55–7.1 mcd at 6 mA, and forward voltage 2.1–2.8 V at 20 mA. It serves as an indicator or backlight in automotive dashboards, telecom devices, and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the VLMP31G2J2-GS08 datasheet, VLMP31G2J2-GS08 pinout, VLMP31G2J2-GS08 application, or VLMP31G2J2-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (Group J), ±60° viewing angle, AEC-Q101 qualification, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning, and compatibility with IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This device operates as a low-power, non-diffused SMD LED optimized for coupling to light pipes and flat backlighting. Its optical performance is defined by dominant wavelength (555–565 nm), peak wavelength (562 nm typ.), and angular intensity distribution (±60° half-intensity). The PLCC-2 package uses white thermoplastic housing with clear epoxy lens and embedded lead frame.
Electrical behavior includes forward current rating of 30 mA DC (Tamb ≤ 85 °C), surge current capability of 0.2 A (tp ≤ 10 μs), and thermal resistance of 400 K/W (mounted on PCB with pad >16 mm²). Reverse voltage rating is 5 V, and ESD withstand is 2 kV per JESD22-A114-B.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMP31H2J2-GS08 | Same package and wavelength; luminous intensity 3.55–7.1 mcd (identical bin), but part number reflects alternate internal grouping - functionally identical to VLMP31G2J2-GS08 per Vishay documentation | No functional difference in automotive or telecom use; same AEC-Q101 qualification and soldering profile | Select VLMP31G2J2-GS08 when ordering from standard distribution channels; VLMP31H2J2-GS08 may reflect regional or legacy labeling |
| VLMP3102-GS08 | Luminous intensity 2.8–5.6 mcd (Group H), lower output than VLMP31G2J2-GS08's J-group; otherwise identical electrical/optical specs and package | Suitable where reduced brightness suffices - e.g., low-ambient-light office environments - but not drop-in for high-visibility automotive use | Choose VLMP3102-GS08 only if brightness tolerance allows 20–40% lower output; verify optical design margin before substitution |
Compared with VLMP31G2J2-GS08, VLMP31H2J2-GS08 offers identical photometric and thermal performance, while VLMP3102-GS08 provides lower luminous intensity in the same footprint - making the former a labeling variant and the latter a brightness-downgraded alternative requiring optical validation.
