It is AEC-Q101 qualified and designed for high-reliability automotive dashboard illumination and indicator lighting.
For engineers reviewing the VLMR235T2V1-GS08 datasheet, VLMR235T2V1-GS08 pinout, VLMR235T2V1-GS08 application, or VLMR235T2V1-GS08 equivalent, this page provides verified optical, electrical, thermal, and packaging specifications - including JEDEC level 2a preconditioning, ±60° viewing angle, and 2 kV ESD withstand - to support LED selection for industrial and automotive signal and backlighting designs.
Technical Context
The VLMR235T2V1-GS08 is an AlInGaP-on-Si red LED optimized for surface-mount applications requiring high brightness in ultra-compact form. Its 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm footprint and 480 K/W thermal resistance (junction-to-ambient, mounted on >16 mm² PCB pad) enable integration into space-constrained, thermally demanding environments.
It operates at DC forward current up to 50 mA (Tamb ≤ 60 °C), with peak permissible current decreasing above ambient temperatures per Fig. 1. The device exhibits stable spectral output (Δλ = 18 nm at 50% Irel max) and minimal dominant wavelength shift (±8 nm over −40 to +100 °C), supporting consistent color rendering in variable-temperature deployments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar red LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMK235T2V1-GS08 | Orange-red emission (611–622 nm), identical package, same IV range (355–900 mcd), slightly lower VF max (2.6 V vs. 2.6 V), same AEC-Q101 qualification | Used where amber-coded status (e.g., caution, warm-up) is required instead of red (e.g., stop, error) | Select when color coding mandates orange-red chromaticity while retaining mechanical and thermal compatibility |
| VLMY235T2V1-GS08 | Yellow emission (583–594 nm), identical package and AEC-Q101 rating, same IV range (355–900 mcd), VF range 1.8–2.6 V | Suitable for yellow-status applications (e.g., warning, standby) in automotive and industrial panels | Choose for yellow-coded indicators where spectral separation from red/orange is critical for human factor compliance |
Compared with VLMR235T2V1-GS08, VLMK235T2V1-GS08 and VLMY235T2V1-GS08 share identical mechanical, thermal, and reliability specs but differ in dominant wavelength - enabling precise color-coded signaling without redesigning PCB layout or driver circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum DC forward current for VLMR235T2V1-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMR235T2V1-GS08 is 50 mA at ambient temperatures ≤ 60 °C. Above 60 °C, permissible current decreases per the derating curve in Figure 1 of the datasheet. Exceeding this limit risks accelerated degradation and reduced lifetime. VLMR235T2V1-GS08 must not be operated in reverse bias, as it is not designed for reverse conduction.
Is VLMR235T2V1-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, VLMR235T2V1-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including dashboard illumination and exterior signaling. It meets JEDEC level 2a preconditioning, operates from −40 to +100 °C, and has been validated for thermal cycling, humidity resistance, and mechanical shock - all critical for under-hood and cabin-mounted systems using VLMR235T2V1-GS08.
What does the "T2V1" suffix mean in VLMR235T2V1-GS08?
In VLMR235T2V1-GS08, "T2V1" denotes the luminous intensity and dominant wavelength bin: "T" indicates luminous intensity group T (355–450 mcd min–max), and "V1" specifies dominant wavelength group V1 (619–625 nm typical). This binning ensures consistent optical performance within each reel, with no mixing of intensity or wavelength groups per GS08 tape.
Does VLMR235T2V1-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
No - VLMR235T2V1-GS08 is preconditioned to JEDEC level 2a and shipped in dry-packed aluminum bags with moisture-sensitive labels. If unopened and stored ≤40 °C/<90% RH, it remains usable for 12 months. Once opened, it must be mounted within 672 hours at <30 °C/60% RH or stored at <10% RH; otherwise, baking per JESD22-A112 is required before reflow.
What is the viewing angle specification for VLMR235T2V1-GS08?
VLMR235T2V1-GS08 has an angle of half intensity of ±60°, meaning luminous intensity drops to 50% of its peak value at 60° off-axis in both horizontal and vertical directions. This wide viewing angle supports uniform illumination across large symbols or diffuse backlighting zones without requiring secondary optics, making VLMR235T2V1-GS08 ideal for panel indicators and dashboard applications.
