Product details
Overview
VLMS233T1V1-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a super red power MiniLED SMD device in a 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm package, delivering 280–900 mcd luminous intensity at 20 mA, with dominant wavelength 626–639 nm and forward voltage 1.8–2.6 V. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for automotive dashboard illumination and traffic signal indicators.
For engineers reviewing the VLMS233T1V1-GS08 datasheet, VLMS233T1V1-GS08 pinout, VLMS233T1V1-GS08 application, or VLMS233T1V1-GS08 equivalent, this page provides verified optical, electrical, thermal, and packaging data - including ESD rating (2 kV), junction temperature limit (125 °C), and ±60° viewing angle - to support reliability-critical LED selection in industrial and automotive designs.
Technical Context
The VLMS233T1V1-GS08 uses AlInGaP-on-Si technology to achieve high radiant efficiency and stable color output across temperature. Its 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm MiniLED package supports IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020 and meets JEDEC level 2a preconditioning requirements.
Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 480 K/W when mounted on a PCB with pad area >16 mm². The device operates from −40 °C to +100 °C ambient and sustains 50 mA DC forward current up to Tamb ≤ 60 °C, with reverse voltage limited to 5 V for short-term use only.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 280–900 mcd at 20 mA - defines brightness range for indicator visibility under varying ambient light |
| Dominant wavelength | 626–639 nm - specifies super red chromaticity compliant with traffic signal and automotive color standards |
| Forward voltage | 1.8–2.6 V at 20 mA - determines minimum driver headroom and power dissipation in series-string configurations |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - enables wide-angle illumination without secondary optics in panel-mounted indicators |
| Junction temperature | 125 °C max - sets thermal derating boundary for continuous operation in sealed enclosures |
| ESD withstand | 2 kV HBM - confirms robustness against handling-induced discharge during assembly |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics - supports qualification of lighting modules without additional stress testing |
Pinout & Package
VLMS233T1V1-GS08 uses a 2-pin surface-mount MiniLED package (2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm) with anode/cathode terminals marked on top surface per Vishay drawing 6.541-5090.01-4. Recommended pad layout includes Cu-area >5 mm² and solder resist defined per DIN specifications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Positive terminal | Connected to current source; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse-bias damage |
| Cathode | Negative terminal | Connected to ground or current sink; marked by anode indicator on package top surface |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super red LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMR233T2V2-GS08 | Red (619–631 nm), higher typical luminous intensity (650 mcd vs. 450 mcd), same package and VF range | Better suited for general-purpose red indication where chromaticity tolerance is wider than traffic-signal grade | Select when dominant wavelength ≥619 nm satisfies application color standard and higher brightness is preferred |
| LS M67F-S2U2-1 (OSRAM) | Super red (625–635 nm), similar luminous intensity (300–850 mcd), same 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm SMD package | Compatible with existing Vishay footprint but requires validation of JEDEC level 2a moisture sensitivity and AEC-Q101 test report alignment | Use as second-source option when cross-qualified supply chain redundancy is required |
Compared with VLMS233T1V1-GS08, VLMR233T2V2-GS08 offers broader red chromaticity and higher typical output but lacks traffic-signal-specific wavelength targeting; LS M67F-S2U2-1 provides footprint compatibility but requires independent verification of automotive qualification scope and binning consistency.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMS233T1V1-GS08?
The VLMS233T1V1-GS08 has a DC forward current rating of 50 mA at ambient temperatures ≤60 °C. At higher ambient temperatures, derating is required per Figure 1 in the datasheet, with maximum permissible current dropping to zero at 100 °C ambient. This rating assumes thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 480 K/W on a PCB with >16 mm² copper pad area.
Is VLMS233T1V1-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, VLMS233T1V1-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified and designed specifically for automotive use cases including dashboard illumination and exterior signaling. Its operating temperature range (−40 °C to +100 °C), moisture sensitivity level 2a compliance, and validated reliability under thermal cycling confirm suitability for under-hood and cabin-mounted systems.
What does the "T1V1" suffix indicate in VLMS233T1V1-GS08?
The "T1V1" suffix denotes specific optical binning: "T" indicates luminous intensity group T (280–450 mcd), "1" specifies dominant wavelength group 1 (626–630 nm), and "V1" identifies forward voltage group V (1.8–2.0 V at 20 mA). This coding ensures consistent photometric and electrical performance within each reel.
Can VLMS233T1V1-GS08 be used in reverse-bias conditions?
No - VLMS233T1V1-GS08 is not designed for reverse conduction. The datasheet explicitly states that reverse voltage application is suitable for short-term use only, with absolute maximum VR = 5 V. Prolonged or repeated reverse bias risks permanent degradation of the AlInGaP die and must be avoided in circuit design.
What is the viewing angle specification for VLMS233T1V1-GS08?
The VLMS233T1V1-GS08 has an angle of half intensity of ±60°, meaning luminous intensity drops to 50% of its on-axis value at ±60° angular displacement. This wide viewing angle enables uniform illumination across control surfaces without auxiliary optics, supporting direct-view applications like status indicators and symbol backlighting.
