Product details
Overview
VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount pure green LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 11.2–28 mcd luminous intensity at 20 mA, with dominant wavelength 555–565 nm and forward voltage 2.0–2.6 V. It serves as an indicator or backlight in automotive dashboards, telecom equipment, and office devices.
For engineers reviewing the VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 datasheet, VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 pinout, VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 application, or VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 equivalent, this page provides verified optical/electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification status, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning, ESD rating (2 kV), and tape-and-reel packaging details for SMT production planning.
Technical Context
This device uses AlInGaP on GaAs technology to generate pure green light with narrow dominant wavelength binning (555–565 nm) and ±60° viewing angle. Its non-diffused lens enables efficient coupling to light pipes and LCD backlights, while low-profile PLCC-2 packaging supports automated placement and IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
Rated for continuous DC forward current up to 30 mA and surge current of 0.2 A (10 μs), it operates across –40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 400 K/W when mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB pad. Reverse voltage tolerance is 5 V.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Light source coupled to acrylic light pipe; driven by PWM-controlled constant-current source for dimming. Use Value: Non-diffused lens maximizes coupling efficiency into light guide, improving system luminance uniformity and reducing required drive current. | Use Scenario: Illuminating function keys, status icons, and paper-path indicators in printers, scanners, and multifunction peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power discrete indicator integrated into MCU-based control subsystems with minimal BOM overhead. Use Value: Luminous intensity binning (IVmax/IVmin ≤1.6) eliminates manual brightness sorting during assembly, lowering manufacturing cost. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMPG31L1M2-GS18 | Same optical/electrical specs; shipped in 8000-unit GS18 tape instead of 1500-unit GS08 | Preferred for high-volume production runs requiring longer reel life and fewer changeovers | Select GS18 when optimizing for SMT line uptime and minimizing tape replenishment frequency |
| TLR1100W | Similar pure green AlInGaP LED but with wider viewing angle (±70°) and higher typical IV (25 mcd) | Better suited for wide-angle panel indicators where off-axis visibility is critical | Choose TLR1100W only if broader angular distribution is required and tighter wavelength control is not mandatory |
Compared with VLMPG31L1M2-GS08, the GS18 variant offers identical performance with higher reel quantity for production efficiency, while TLR1100W trades narrower wavelength tolerance for wider viewing angle-making VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 optimal for color-critical automotive and telecom backlighting where spectral purity and bin consistency matter most.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMPG31L1M2-GS08?
The VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 has a DC forward current rating of 30 mA at ambient temperatures ≤85 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated degradation and reduced lifetime. For pulsed operation, surge current up to 0.2 A is allowed for durations ≤10 μs, as defined in the absolute maximum ratings table of the official Vishay datasheet (Doc. #81653, Rev. 1.5).
Is VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming its reliability for automotive interior lighting such as dashboard and switch backlighting. It meets stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD-making VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 appropriate for under-hood-adjacent or cabin-mounted systems operating from –40 °C to +100 °C.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMPG31L1M2-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes Vishay's 8 mm antistatic blister tape packaging option containing 1500 units per reel, compliant with EIA-481-D standards. This format supports high-speed automated placement and is preconditioned to JEDEC level 2a for moisture sensitivity-ensuring VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 can undergo Pb-free reflow without baking under standard factory humidity conditions.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMPG31L1M2-GS08?
VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 is binned by luminous intensity into groups L (11.2–14.0 mcd and 14.0–18.0 mcd) and M (18.0–22.4 mcd and 22.4–28.0 mcd). Each reel contains only one intensity group, with IVmax/IVmin ≤1.6 within that group-guaranteeing consistent brightness across all VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 units on a given reel for predictable optical design.
Does VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 have a diffused or non-diffused lens?
VLMPG31L1M2-GS08 features a non-diffused lens, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the Vishay datasheet. This optical design delivers focused output ideal for coupling into light pipes and edge-lit LCD backlights, maximizing luminance transfer efficiency compared to diffused alternatives that scatter light broadly.
