Product details
Overview
VLMP31G2J2-GS18 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 delivers high brightness for indicator and backlighting applications in automotive dashboards and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the VLMP31G2J2-GS18 datasheet, VLMP31G2J2-GS18 pinout, VLMP31G2J2-GS18 application, or VLMP31G2J2-GS18 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (Group J, Level 2), ±60° viewing angle, AEC-Q101 qualification, and compatibility with IR reflow per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This device operates as a visible-light emitter optimized for low-power, high-reliability indicator and backlight functions. Its AlInGaP-on-GaAs die structure enables stable green emission across -40 °C to +100 °C ambient range, with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 400 K/W when mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB pad.
The PLCC-2 package features a white thermoplastic body with clear epoxy lens and non-diffused optical profile-designed for efficient coupling into light pipes and uniform flat backlighting. Luminous intensity ratio within one reel is controlled to IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6, supporting consistent visual performance in production assemblies.

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 | Identical optical specs and package; differs only in tape/reel option (GS08 = 1500 pcs vs GS18 = unspecified quantity) | No functional difference; GS08 is standard tape format, GS18 may denote custom packaging | Select VLMP31H2J2-GS08 if standard 1500-piece reels are required for SMT line compatibility |
| TLCR5200 | Same PLCC-2 package and pure green emission, but wider luminous intensity range (4–10 mcd) and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Suitable for industrial/commercial use only; not validated for automotive thermal/humidity stress | Choose TLCR5200 only for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with VLMP31G2J2-GS18, VLMP31H2J2-GS08 offers identical photometric and electrical behavior with standardized tape packaging, while TLCR5200 trades automotive qualification for broader intensity tolerance and lower cost-making it appropriate only for non-automotive indicator roles.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity range of the VLMP31G2J2-GS18?
The VLMP31G2J2-GS18 has a luminous intensity range of 3.55–7.1 mcd at 6 mA forward current, corresponding to Group J, Level 2 binning per Vishay's classification table. This tight intensity spread ensures visual consistency when multiple VLMP31G2J2-GS18 LEDs are used in the same display or indicator array.
Is the VLMP31G2J2-GS18 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the VLMP31G2J2-GS18 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD required for automotive under-hood and cabin applications. This qualification applies directly to the VLMP31G2J2-GS18 part number as documented in Vishay's Rev. 1.8 datasheet (Document Number: 81328).
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMP31G2J2-GS18?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMP31G2J2-GS18 is 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤ 85 °C. Operating continuously at this level requires adequate PCB copper area (≥16 mm² pad) to maintain junction temperature below 125 °C, given its 400 K/W thermal resistance.
Does VLMP31G2J2-GS18 support Pb-free reflow soldering?
Yes, VLMP31G2J2-GS18 is rated for Pb-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with peak package body temperature up to 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. The device undergoes JEDEC level 2a preconditioning to prevent moisture-related damage during reflow, and its PLCC-2 package is compatible with standard IR reflow profiles.
What does the 'J2' in VLMP31G2J2-GS18 signify?
The 'J2' in VLMP31G2J2-GS18 identifies its luminous intensity bin: Group J (intensity range 4.5–7.1 mcd) and Level 2 (tighter sub-bin 5.6–7.1 mcd). This designation ensures that every VLMP31G2J2-GS18 unit shipped on a single reel falls within that exact intensity window, enabling predictable brightness matching in production assemblies.
