Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar red LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMY233T2V2-GS08 | Yellow emission (583–594 nm), identical package and IV range (355–1120 mcd), VF slightly higher (1.8–2.15 V) | Suitable where amber/yellow coding is required instead of red (e.g., caution vs. stop signals) | Select when color-coding mandates yellow chromaticity while retaining same board layout and drive conditions |
| VLMK233U1AA-GS08 | Orange-red emission (611–622 nm), higher IV range (450–1400 mcd), VF 1.8–2.6 V, same package | Better suited for applications needing higher luminance or intermediate hue between red and orange | Choose for enhanced brightness or when orange-red spectral match is specified in system optical design |
Compared with VLMR233T2V2-GS08, VLMY233T2V2-GS08 shifts chromaticity to yellow while preserving drive compatibility, whereas VLMK233U1AA-GS08 increases luminance headroom and shifts toward longer-wavelength orange-red-both retain identical footprint and thermal behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMR233T2V2-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMR233T2V2-GS08 is 50 mA at ambient temperatures ≤ 60 °C. At higher ambient temperatures, the permissible current decreases per the derating curve in Figure 1 of the datasheet, with thermal resistance of 480 K/W requiring adequate PCB copper area for heat dissipation.
Is VLMR233T2V2-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, VLMR233T2V2-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from –40 °C to +100 °C, making it suitable for automotive dashboard illumination, interior lighting, and exterior signaling applications where reliability under thermal stress and vibration is critical.
What does the "GS08" suffix mean in VLMR233T2V2-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix indicates 8 mm tape packaging with 3000 units per reel, compliant with EIA-481-D standards. It includes dry-packaging with moisture barrier bag and JEDEC Level 2a labeling, ensuring safe IR reflow soldering without pre-baking under controlled factory conditions.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMR233T2V2-GS08?
VLMR233T2V2-GS08 is binned by luminous intensity into groups T, U, V, and A, with group V covering 710–1120 mcd. Each reel contains only one intensity group (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6), and single-group reels are shipped to ensure consistent brightness across assemblies.
What is the viewing angle specification for VLMR233T2V2-GS08?
VLMR233T2V2-GS08 has an angle of half intensity of ±60°, meaning luminous intensity drops to 50% of peak value at 60° off-axis in both horizontal and vertical directions. This wide viewing angle supports uniform illumination across broad panel surfaces without secondary optics.
