Product details
Overview
VLMS30J1L2-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a super red AlInGaP-based surface-mount LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 4.5–18 mcd luminous intensity at 2 mA forward current, with dominant wavelength 624–636 nm and ±60° viewing angle - deployed in automotive dashboard backlighting and indicator applications.
For engineers reviewing the VLMS30J1L2-GS08 datasheet, VLMS30J1L2-GS08 pinout, VLMS30J1L2-GS08 application, or VLMS30J1L2-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-current operation (2 mA test condition), AEC-Q101 qualification, non-diffused lens for light-pipe coupling, and ESD tolerance up to 2 kV per JESD22-A114-B.
Technical Context
This device operates as a low-power visible-light emitter optimized for indicator and backlight functions in space-constrained SMD layouts. Its AlInGaP semiconductor structure enables stable red emission with narrow spectral width (dominant wavelength 624–636 nm) and high luminous efficacy at 2 mA drive current.
The PLCC-2 package integrates a white thermoplastic lead frame and clear epoxy lens, supporting IR reflow, vapor phase, and wave soldering per CECC 00802 and J-STD-020. Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 400 K/W when mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB pad area.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar visible-light indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMS30K1L2-GS08 | Higher min/max luminous intensity (7.1–18 mcd vs. 4.5–18 mcd) at same 2 mA test condition | Better suited for applications requiring higher baseline brightness without increasing drive current | Select when tighter brightness consistency above 7 mcd is required; same package, pinout, and thermal profile |
| VLMO30L1M2-GS08 | Orange emission (600–609 nm dominant wavelength) with higher intensity (11.2–28 mcd at 2 mA) | Used where color differentiation (e.g., warning vs. status) or higher photopic response is needed | Choose for orange-coded indicators; requires optical redesign due to different spectral output and intensity distribution |
Compared with VLMS30K1L2-GS08, the VLMS30J1L2-GS08 offers lower minimum intensity for finer dimming control in low-ambient-light settings; versus VLMO30L1M2-GS08, it provides red-specific chromaticity essential for regulatory-compliant automotive signaling and legacy UI color schemes.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for VLMS30J1L2-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMS30J1L2-GS08 is 15 mA at Tamb = 25 °C. Operation above this value risks accelerated degradation and thermal runaway. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient per the datasheet's forward current vs. temperature curve - at 85 °C, maximum recommended IF drops to approximately 10 mA. Always verify thermal design with the specified 400 K/W junction-to-ambient resistance.
Is VLMS30J1L2-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMS30J1L2-GS08 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with a peak temperature of 245 °C (maximum 260 °C for ≤100 s). The recommended profile includes ramp-up ≤3 °C/s, time above 217 °C ≤30 s, and cooling rate ≤6 °C/s. Preconditioning per JEDEC level 2a is required before reflow to prevent popcorning.
Does VLMS30J1L2-GS08 have an integrated current-limiting resistor?
No, VLMS30J1L2-GS08 is a bare die LED chip in PLCC-2 package with no integrated current-limiting resistor. External current control - typically via a series resistor or constant-current driver - is mandatory to limit forward current to 2 mA (typical operating point) or ≤15 mA (absolute maximum). The forward voltage range of 1.8–2.2 V at 2 mA determines the required resistor value for a given supply voltage.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMS30J1L2-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes Vishay's standard 8 mm antistatic blister tape packaging option containing 1500 pieces per reel. This format is optimized for automatic pick-and-place equipment and complies with DIN IEC 40 (CO) 564. The GS08 tape includes polarity marking, cavity depth matching the PLCC-2 body, and top-cover tape with peel strength suitable for high-speed placement.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMS30J1L2-GS08, and why does it matter?
VLMS30J1L2-GS08 is binned per the J group (4.5–5.6 mcd minimum, 5.6–7.1 mcd maximum) and L group (14.0–18.0 mcd), with IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within each reel. This tight binning ensures predictable brightness across all units on a single tape - eliminating post-assembly brightness sorting and enabling consistent UI appearance in mass-produced panels where visual uniformity is critical.
