Product details
Overview
VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a pure green surface-mount power LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 28–71 mcd luminous intensity at 30 mA, with dominant wavelength 555–565 nm and forward voltage 2.0–2.5 V. It serves as a high-brightness indicator or backlight source in automotive dashboards, office equipment, and LCD interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 datasheet, VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 pinout, VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 application, or VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (Group N1), ±60° viewing angle, AEC-Q101 qualification, JEDEC level 2a moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This AlInGaP-on-GaAs LED operates at 30 mA DC forward current with thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 400 K/W when mounted on a PCB pad >16 mm². Its non-diffused lens enables efficient coupling to light pipes and flat backlighting structures.
The device exhibits temperature coefficients of –4 mV/K for forward voltage and –0.4 %/K for luminous intensity, supporting stable optical output across –40 °C to +100 °C ambient operation. Reverse voltage rating is 5 V, and ESD withstand voltage reaches 2 kV per JESD22-A114-B.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 28–71 mcd at 30 mA - defines brightness range for visual indication under standard drive conditions |

| Junction temperature limit | 125 °C - sets maximum allowable thermal rise for reliability in sealed enclosures |
| Thermal resistance | 400 K/W - quantifies thermal path efficiency from die to ambient; requires ≥16 mm² copper pad |
| Moisture sensitivity | JEDEC level 2a - mandates dry pack storage and ≤672 h exposure before reflow unless baked |
Pinout & Package
VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 uses a 2-pin PLCC-2 surface-mount package with molded white thermoplastic body, internal reflector, and clear epoxy lens. Pin identification follows standard PLCC-2 polarity: Pin 1 (anode) and Pin 2 (cathode), marked by chamfered corner adjacent to Pin 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Positive terminal requiring current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance return path for thermal and electrical stability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LPT675N1P2 | OSRAM equivalent with identical luminous intensity bin (N1), same dominant wavelength range, and PLCC-2 footprint | Same automotive and industrial indicator use cases; validated in identical AEC-Q101 test suites | Select when OSRAM sourcing preference or dual-sourcing strategy applies; no layout change required |
| VLMPG33N1P2-GS08 | Identical optoelectrical specs and package; differs only in tape/reel configuration (1500 pcs vs. 8000 pcs) | Same functional performance; GS08 used for prototyping or low-volume builds where smaller reels reduce WIP | Choose GS18 for high-volume production to minimize reel changeovers and optimize line uptime |
Compared with LPT675N1P2 and VLMPG33N1P2-GS08, VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 offers identical optical and electrical behavior but provides higher reel quantity (8000 pcs) for extended SMT line runs and lower per-unit handling cost in volume manufacturing.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity range of VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 at 30 mA?
The VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 delivers a luminous intensity range of 28–71 mcd at 30 mA forward current, corresponding to Group N1 intensity binning per Vishay's classification table. This range reflects factory-tested variation within a single reel, ensuring predictable brightness without post-production sorting. The typical value is 42 mcd, and the ratio between max and min intensity in one packaging unit is ≤1.6.
Is VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock specific to automotive electronics. This qualification supports its use in dashboard backlighting, switch illumination, and other under-hood or cabin-mounted systems where long-term reliability under thermal and vibration stress is mandatory.
What is the maximum allowable forward current for VLMPG33N1P2-GS18?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 is 50 mA at ambient temperatures ≤73 °C. However, the recommended operating condition is 30 mA, which balances brightness, thermal rise, and lifetime. Exceeding 30 mA increases junction temperature significantly due to the 400 K/W thermal resistance, accelerating lumen depreciation and risking premature failure if heatsinking is inadequate.
Does VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 require baking before reflow soldering?
VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 is packaged per JEDEC level 2a moisture sensitivity, meaning it must be baked if exposed to ambient conditions >672 hours after opening the dry bag. Recommended bake conditions are 96 hours at 60 °C ±5 °C and <5 % RH for full reels. Baking restores moisture content to safe levels for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C without popcorning or delamination.
What is the dominant wavelength specification for VLMPG33N1P2-GS18?
The dominant wavelength of VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 is specified as 555–565 nm at 30 mA, placing it firmly in the pure green region of the visible spectrum. This range corresponds to Color Group 3 per Vishay's classification table and ensures consistent hue across production lots. Peak wavelength is 565 nm, and spectral bandwidth is not specified for this variant.
