Product details
Overview
VLMS234V2BA-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 900–2240 mcd luminous intensity at 50 mA, with dominant wavelength 626–639 nm and forward voltage 1.9–2.8 V. It serves as a high-reliability indicator or backlight source in automotive dashboards and industrial control panels under harsh ambient conditions.
For engineers reviewing the VLMS234V2BA-GS08 datasheet, VLMS234V2BA-GS08 pinout, VLMS234V2BA-GS08 application, or VLMS234V2BA-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (V2 group), AEC-Q101 qualification, ±60° viewing angle, and AlInGaP-on-Si technology for stable red emission in temperature-critical environments.
Technical Context
This super red LED uses AlInGaP-on-Si die technology to achieve high radiant efficiency and thermal stability across -40 °C to +100 °C operating range. Its 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm MiniLED package features a cathode-marked anode/cathode terminal layout optimized for IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
The device operates at DC forward current up to 70 mA (Tamb ≤ 60 °C), with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 325 K/W when mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB copper area. Reverse voltage rating is limited to 5 V for short-term use only, per datasheet Note (1).

Applications
| Traffic Signal Modules | Automotive Dashboard Illumination |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Red status indicators in LED-based traffic light heads requiring long-life, high-visibility output under outdoor UV and thermal cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete visible-light emitter providing fail-safe red indication without color shift over 10+ years of operation. Use Value: Super red 626–639 nm output meets ITE/EN 12367 chromaticity requirements; AEC-Q101 and -40 °C to +100 °C rating ensure field reliability. |
Use Scenario: Backlighting for analog gauge needles and digital segment displays in vehicle instrument clusters exposed to cabin temperature extremes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Surface-mount discrete LED serving as primary illumination source for optically coupled or direct-view indicators. Use Value: 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm footprint enables dense placement behind small apertures; ±60° viewing angle ensures uniform brightness across curved lens surfaces. |
| Industrial Control Panel Indicators | Medical Device Status Lighting |
Use Scenario: Power-on, fault, and mode indicators on ruggedized HMI panels used in factory automation systems with frequent cleaning and ESD exposure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-intensity discrete LED providing unambiguous visual feedback in high-noise industrial environments. Use Value: 2 kV HBM ESD rating and 70 mA absolute max current support robust operation in ungrounded metal enclosures; V2 binning ensures consistent operator recognition across units. |
Use Scenario: Critical status lights (e.g., "Active", "Alarm", "Standby") on portable diagnostic equipment where color fidelity and low-power visibility are essential. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-voltage (1.9–2.8 V), low-current (50 mA) visible emitter enabling battery-efficient operation with minimal heat generation. Use Value: Stable super red chromaticity avoids misinterpretation as amber/yellow; AlInGaP-on-Si construction prevents greenish tint drift during extended operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super red LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMR234ABCA-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity (1400–3550 mcd), red (619–631 nm) rather than super red | Better suited for general-purpose red signaling where chromaticity tolerance is wider | Select when higher brightness is required and 626–639 nm super red specification is not mandatory |
| OSRAM LS M67F-S2U2-1 | Same optical binning and package outline; identical 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm SMD MiniLED form factor | Direct cross-reference per Vishay's official crossing table; validated for same automotive and industrial use cases | Choose for dual-sourcing flexibility while maintaining identical photometric and mechanical behavior |
Compared with VLMS234V2BA-GS08, VLMR234ABCA-GS08 offers greater intensity but shifts chromaticity toward standard red, whereas OSRAM LS M67F-S2U2-1 provides exact photometric and mechanical equivalence-enabling drop-in replacement without optical or layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for VLMS234V2BA-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMS234V2BA-GS08 is 70 mA when ambient temperature remains at or below 60 °C. At higher temperatures, derating is required per Figure 1 in the datasheet; for example, at 85 °C ambient, maximum permissible current drops to approximately 45 mA to maintain junction temperature ≤125 °C. Always reference the thermal resistance (325 K/W) and PCB copper area when designing for sustained operation.
Is VLMS234V2BA-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, VLMS234V2BA-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use, including dashboard illumination and exterior signaling. Its operating temperature range (-40 °C to +100 °C), JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning, and 2 kV HBM ESD rating meet automotive assembly and field reliability requirements. The super red 626–639 nm output also complies with chromaticity standards for safety-critical red indicators.
What does the 'V2' in VLMS234V2BA-GS08 indicate?
The 'V2' suffix denotes the luminous intensity bin group: 900–1120 mcd at 50 mA. Vishay ships only one intensity group per reel to ensure consistency - so every VLMS234V2BA-GS08 unit on a given reel falls within this narrow brightness range. This binning is essential for uniform appearance in multi-LED arrays such as segmented backlights or status bar indicators.
Can VLMS234V2BA-GS08 be used in reverse-bias configuration?
No - reverse voltage operation is strictly limited to short-term applications only, with a maximum rating of 5 V. Permanent reverse bias risks irreversible degradation of the AlInGaP die. The datasheet explicitly warns against using VLMS234V2BA-GS08 as a bidirectional device or in AC-driven circuits without series protection diodes. For reverse-polarity tolerant designs, external circuitry must enforce unidirectional forward conduction.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for VLMS234V2BA-GS08?
Vishay recommends a minimum copper pad area of >16 mm² per terminal to achieve the specified 325 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The datasheet provides a proposed pad layout (page 5) with dimensions optimized for solder wetting and thermal dissipation: 2.8 mm length × 0.8 mm width per pad, spaced 0.8 mm apart, with solder resist defined to expose only the Cu area. Smaller pads will increase thermal resistance and limit safe operating current.
