Product details
Overview
VLMS1300-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a super red AlInGaP-based surface-mount LED in 0603 (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.8 mm) package, delivering 18–54 mcd luminous intensity at 20 mA, with dominant wavelength of 631 nm and forward voltage of 2.0–2.4 V. It is engineered for high-reliability indicator and backlighting applications in compact industrial and consumer displays.
For engineers reviewing the VLMS1300-GS08 datasheet, VLMS1300-GS08 pinout, VLMS1300-GS08 application, or VLMS1300-GS08 equivalent, this page provides verified optical, electrical, thermal, and packaging specifications - including JEDEC Level 3 preconditioning compliance, ±65° viewing angle, and IR reflow soldering compatibility - to support rapid integration into space-constrained PCB designs.
Technical Context
The VLMS1300-GS08 uses AlInGaP semiconductor technology optimized for visible red emission, with a dominant wavelength tightly binned at 631 nm and spectral width of 20 nm. Its chip-scale construction enables high brightness per unit area while maintaining low thermal resistance and stable chromaticity across ambient temperatures from –35 °C to +85 °C.
Designed for DC operation at 20 mA nominal forward current (30 mA absolute max), it features a junction capacitance of 40 pF and reverse leakage ≤10 μA at 5 V, supporting reliable switching in multiplexed display drivers and status indicators without external current-limiting complexity beyond standard series resistors.
Key Specifications

| ESD rating | HBM not specified (AlInGaP variant): requires standard ESD handling but no integrated protection diode like VLMB1310 |
Pinout & Package
VLMS1300-GS08 is a two-terminal surface-mount LED in 0603 package. Cathode is marked by a notch on the package edge and corresponds to the shorter lead side in tape-and-reel orientation. The device has no internal IC or control logic - it operates as a passive light-emitting diode requiring external current limiting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Positive terminal | Connected to current source or higher-potential node; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse breakdown |
| Cathode | Negative terminal | Marked by physical notch; connects to ground or current sink; reverse voltage rating is only 5 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Super thin 0603 form factor | 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.8 mm height enables placement beneath tight bezels and in stacked board assemblies |
| High reliability PCB mounting | Qualified to JEDEC Level 3 preconditioning and IR reflow profile up to 260 °C peak, ensuring robust assembly yield |
| Wide 130° viewing angle | ±65° half-intensity angle ensures consistent brightness across broad observation zones without secondary optics |
| AlInGaP red emitter | 631 nm dominant wavelength with 20 nm spectral width delivers saturated, industry-standard super red output |
| Tape-and-reel packaging | 3000 pcs/reel on 8 mm tape, compatible with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and automated SMT lines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar red LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMO1300-GS08 | Soft orange (605 nm), higher luminous intensity (45–90 mcd), same 0603 package and VF range | Used where warmer hue improves contrast against blue/green backgrounds or meets specific color-coding standards | Select when orange coding is required for differentiation or regulatory compliance; identical layout and drive circuitry |
| TLR1100T | 0603 red LED (625 nm), 25–70 mcd, VF 1.9–2.3 V, RoHS-compliant, JEDEC Level 3 qualified | Offers tighter binning and extended lifetime data under high-temp bias; preferred for automotive-grade indicator modules | Choose for AEC-Q200-aligned designs or where extended qualification history is mandated; same footprint and drive conditions |
Compared with VLMO1300-GS08 and TLR1100T, the VLMS1300-GS08 provides the most saturated super red output (631 nm) with moderate intensity, making it optimal for applications prioritizing chromatic purity and standard red signaling over warm-tone differentiation or automotive qualification.

FAQ
What is the dominant wavelength of VLMS1300-GS08 and why does it matter?
The VLMS1300-GS08 has a dominant wavelength of 631 nm, placing it in the "super red" category. This value defines the perceived hue under standard photopic vision and ensures consistent color matching across batches - critical for branding, safety signaling, and multi-LED arrays where chromatic uniformity is required. Unlike peak wavelength (639 nm), dominant wavelength reflects human eye response and is used in color specification standards.
Can VLMS1300-GS08 be used in reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMS1300-GS08 is fully compatible with lead-free IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020C, with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. It is preconditioned to JEDEC Level 3 moisture sensitivity, meaning it must be mounted within 168 hours of bag opening under ≤30 °C/60% RH or stored in dry nitrogen; baking is required if exposed beyond that window.
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMS1300-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMS1300-GS08 is 30 mA at Tamb ≤ 25 °C. However, its recommended operating current is 20 mA, where luminous intensity is specified as 18–54 mcd and forward voltage as 2.0–2.4 V. Exceeding 20 mA continuously increases junction temperature and accelerates lumen depreciation; pulse operation above 30 mA is not supported.
Does VLMS1300-GS08 include an integrated ESD protection diode?
No, VLMS1300-GS08 does not integrate an ESD protection diode. It is an AlInGaP-based LED with a reverse voltage rating of only 5 V and no specified HBM ESD rating. In contrast, the VLMB1310-GS08 (blue variant) includes an integrated Zener diode with 8000 V HBM rating. System-level ESD protection must be implemented externally for VLMS1300-GS08 in high-static environments.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMS1300-GS08, and what group does -GS08 indicate?
The "-GS08" suffix denotes the luminous intensity bin: Group S (180–280 mcd). However, the VLMS1300 part number itself is rated at 18–54 mcd (Group M–P), and the -GS08 suffix appears inconsistent with the datasheet's published intensity table for VLMS1300. Per Document 82437 Rev. 1.6, VLMS1300-GS08 is explicitly listed with min 18 / typ 54 mcd - confirming it belongs to Group M (18–28 mcd) or N (28–45 mcd), not S. Customers should verify reel labeling and order against documented intensity bins.
