Product details
Overview
VLMR335U1V2-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a red surface-mount power LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 450–1120 mcd luminous intensity at 20 mA, with dominant wavelength 619–631 nm and forward voltage 1.8–2.6 V. It operates up to 100 °C ambient, supports AEC-Q101 qualification, and targets high-reliability indicator and backlighting applications.
For engineers reviewing the VLMR335U1V2-GS08 datasheet, VLMR335U1V2-GS08 pinout, VLMR335U1V2-GS08 application, or VLMR335U1V2-GS08 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical, electrical, thermal, and packaging data - including luminous intensity binning (U1), wavelength classification (Group 1 red), and reflow-compatible PLCC-2 footprint - to support automotive-grade design-in and production sourcing.
Technical Context
This red AlInGaP-on-Si LED uses advanced chip technology enabling 50 mA DC forward current capability and 400 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance when mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB pad. Its ±60° viewing angle and 18 nm spectral bandwidth support uniform illumination in compact indicator layouts.
The device meets JEDEC level 2a preconditioning, withstands 2 kV ESD (HBM), and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. It is compatible with lead-free reflow, vapor phase, and wave soldering per J-STD-020 and CECC 00802 standards.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar red SMD LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMR335U1V2-GS18 | Same optical/electrical specs; differs only in tape/reel quantity (8000 pcs vs. 7500 pcs in GS08) | No functional difference; GS18 supports higher-volume automated placement runs | Select GS18 for large-batch production where reel change frequency must be minimized |
| VLMS335T1U2-GS08 | Super red variant: longer dominant wavelength (626–639 nm), lower luminous intensity (280–710 mcd) | Better suited for applications requiring deeper red hue (e.g., brake light simulation), not direct brightness replacement | Choose VLMS335T1U2-GS08 only when spectral shift toward 630+ nm is required; not a drop-in substitute for VLMR335U1V2-GS08 |
Compared with VLMR335U1V2-GS08, the GS18 variant offers identical performance in a larger reel format for throughput optimization, while VLMS335T1U2-GS08 provides a spectrally distinct super red option - neither is pin-compatible nor functionally interchangeable without optical and intensity validation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for VLMR335U1V2-GS08?
The VLMR335U1V2-GS08 is rated for 50 mA DC forward current when ambient temperature is ≤73 °C and thermal resistance is maintained at 400 K/W via adequate PCB copper area. Exceeding this current without thermal derating risks accelerated lumen depreciation and reduced lifetime. The device's absolute maximum rating assumes proper mounting on ≥16 mm² pad area.
Does VLMR335U1V2-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
No - VLMR335U1V2-GS08 is preconditioned to JEDEC level 2a and shipped in dry-packed anti-humidity bags. When stored per Vishay guidelines (<30 °C / ≤60 % RH), it may be placed directly into reflow without baking for up to 672 hours after bag opening. Baking is only required if humidity indicator card exceeds 10 % or storage conditions are exceeded.
What does the "U1" in VLMR335U1V2-GS08 signify?
The "U1" denotes the luminous intensity bin: 450–560 mcd at 20 mA. This is part of Vishay's standardized intensity categorization where U-group covers mid-range brightness, ensuring consistent output across all units on a given reel. It also indicates the device is shipped in GS08 tape format (7500 pcs per reel, 5 × 1500).
Is VLMR335U1V2-GS08 suitable for reverse-biased operation?
VLMR335U1V2-GS08 permits short-term reverse bias up to 5 V, as noted in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, this is not intended for continuous operation - sustained reverse voltage degrades LED performance and reliability. For bidirectional signaling, external protection circuitry is recommended.
How is the dominant wavelength of VLMR335U1V2-GS08 measured and binned?
The dominant wavelength of VLMR335U1V2-GS08 is measured at 20 mA with 25 ms pulse duration and binned into Group 1 (619–625 nm) per Vishay's color classification table. Each reel contains only one wavelength group to ensure spectral consistency; mixed bins are not shipped. Measurement accuracy is traceable to NIST-calibrated equipment per Vishay's quality system.
