Product details
Overview
VLMS30J1K2-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a super red, low-current surface-mount LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 4.5–11.2 mcd luminous intensity at 2 mA forward current, with dominant wavelength 624–636 nm and ±60° viewing angle-designed for automotive dashboard backlighting and indicator applications.
For engineers reviewing the VLMS30J1K2-GS08 datasheet, VLMS30J1K2-GS08 pinout, VLMS30J1K2-GS08 application, or VLMS30J1K2-GS08 equivalent, this page provides verified optical/electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification status, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning compliance, ESD rating (2 kV), and tape-and-reel packaging details (GS08, 1500 pcs/reel).
Technical Context
This AllnGaP-based SMD LED operates at low drive current (2 mA typical), features non-diffused lens for efficient light-pipe coupling, and maintains luminous intensity ratio ≤1.6 within one reel-ensuring consistent brightness across units shipped together.
It meets CECC 00802 and J-STD-020 reflow standards, supports IR reflow, vapor phase, and wave soldering, and is rated for -40 °C to +100 °C operating temperature with 400 K/W thermal resistance junction-to-ambient when mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB pad.

| Viewing Angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination for panel backlighting and symbol lighting |
| Forward Voltage | 1.8–2.2 V at 2 mA - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-supplied current-limiting resistor designs |
| ESD Withstand | 2 kV HBM per JESD22-A114-B - ensures robustness during automated handling and board assembly |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability in dashboard and switch backlighting applications |
| Package | PLCC-2 - surface-mount, white thermoplastic body with clear epoxy lens and lead-frame construction |
Pinout & Package
VLMS30J1K2-GS08 uses a 2-pin PLCC-2 package with anode and cathode terminals. The package measures 3.5 mm × 2.8 mm × 1.75 mm (L × W × H) and features a non-diffused lens optimized for directional light coupling into light pipes or diffusers.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Positive LED terminal | Connected to current source or microcontroller GPIO via series resistor; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse breakdown |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Negative LED terminal | Typically tied to ground or sink driver; reverse voltage rating is only 6 V - not intended for bidirectional operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables high-efficiency coupling into light guides and edge-lit LCD backlights without scattering loss |
| Luminous intensity binning control | IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel - eliminates brightness matching effort in production assembly |
| Low profile PLCC-2 footprint | 1.75 mm height - fits space-constrained automotive instrument clusters and compact consumer interfaces |
| JEDEC level 2a preconditioning | Ensures moisture sensitivity compliance for standard SMT reflow without baking requirement |
| RoHS, halogen-free, Pb-free | Meets global environmental compliance mandates without compromising thermal or optical performance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-current SMD LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMS30J1L2-GS08 | Higher max luminous intensity (18 mcd vs. 11.2 mcd at 2 mA); same wavelength and package | Better suited for applications requiring higher brightness margin or longer viewing distance | Select when design requires >11 mcd output without increasing drive current beyond 2 mA |

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMS30J1K2-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMS30J1K2-GS08 is 15 mA, but its optical specifications-including luminous intensity and wavelength-are characterized at 2 mA. Operating continuously above 2 mA increases power dissipation and may reduce long-term reliability unless thermal management is enhanced. For most indicator applications, 2 mA provides optimal balance of visibility, efficiency, and lifetime.
Is VLMS30J1K2-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMS30J1K2-GS08 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with a peak temperature tolerance up to 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. Its recommended profile includes ramp rates ≤3 °C/s (up) and ≤6 °C/s (down), preheat to 150–200 °C, and time above liquidus (217 °C) limited to 30–60 seconds-fully compatible with standard Pb-free assembly lines.
Does VLMS30J1K2-GS08 have built-in current regulation or require an external resistor?
VLMS30J1K2-GS08 is a passive two-terminal device with no internal regulation. It requires an external current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver. At 3.3 V supply and 2 mA target current, a ~1.25 kΩ resistor compensates for its 1.8–2.2 V forward voltage range. Designers must calculate resistor value based on actual VF and desired IF to ensure stable operation and longevity.
What does the "J1K2" suffix mean in VLMS30J1K2-GS08?
The "J1K2" suffix denotes Vishay's internal brightness and wavelength binning: "J" indicates luminous intensity group 4.5–5.6 mcd (min–max), "1" specifies the first sub-bin within that group, "K" refers to dominant wavelength group 7.1–9.0 nm (624–636 nm), and "2" identifies the second sub-bin. This ensures tight photometric consistency across reels shipped to customers.
Can VLMS30J1K2-GS08 be used in reverse-biased configurations?
No-VLMS30J1K2-GS08 is not designed for reverse conduction. Its absolute maximum reverse voltage is only 6 V, and the datasheet explicitly states reverse operation is suitable only for short-term applications (e.g., transient protection). Continuous reverse bias risks permanent degradation. Always observe polarity during layout and assembly.
