Product details
Overview
VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a true green surface-mount LED using InGaN-on-sapphire technology, housed in a PLCC-2 package with ±60° viewing angle, 380 mcd typical luminous intensity at 10 mA, and 3.2–4.2 V forward voltage at 20 mA. It serves as a high-efficiency indicator and backlighting source in automotive dashboards, office equipment, and LCD panels.
For engineers reviewing the VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 datasheet, VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 pinout, VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 application, or VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical/electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification status, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning compliance, thermal resistance (360 K/W), and ESD rating (2 kV HBM) - all critical for automotive-grade SMD LED selection and reliability validation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a monochromatic visible-light emitter optimized for stable chromaticity in true green (515–541 nm dominant wavelength). Its PLCC-2 thermoplastic package integrates a white reflector and clear epoxy lens to maximize light extraction while maintaining mechanical robustness under IR reflow and wave soldering per J-STD-020 and CECC 00802.
Designed for DC forward operation only (not reverse-biased), the VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 exhibits a -0.25 %/K temperature coefficient of luminous intensity and -4 mV/K forward voltage drift, enabling predictable performance across -40 °C to +100 °C ambient operating range with junction temperature limited to 110 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 380 mcd typical at 10 mA - defines brightness level for human-visible indication under standard test pulse |
| Dominant wavelength | 530 nm typical - ensures consistent true green color perception in displays and indicators |
| Forward voltage | 3.2–4.2 V at 20 mA - determines minimum driver headroom and power dissipation (max 84 mW) |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - specifies beam spread for uniform illumination across panel surfaces or switch legends |
| Junction-to-ambient Rth | 360 K/W on >16 mm² PCB pad - quantifies thermal path efficiency for derating current above 25 °C |
| ESD withstand | 2 kV HBM - confirms handling robustness during automated assembly without special grounding protocols |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics - supports use in dashboard backlighting without additional qualification effort |
Pinout & Package
The VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 uses a 2-pin PLCC-2 surface-mount package with molded white thermoplastic body, internal white reflector, and clear epoxy lens. Dimensions: 3.5 × 2.8 mm footprint, 1.75 mm height, with cathode marked by chamfered corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive DC input | Connects to current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver output; polarity must be observed to avoid damage |
| Cathode (C) | Ground return path | Marked by physical chamfer on package corner; ties to system ground or low-side switch node |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| InGaN-on-sapphire die | Delivers stable true green emission with minimal wavelength shift over temperature and lifetime |
| PLCC-2 package | Enables compatibility with standard SMD pick-and-place and reflow processes without custom tooling |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Reduces validation burden for automotive interior lighting applications requiring reliability certification |
| JEDEC level 2a preconditioning | Ensures moisture sensitivity is managed prior to reflow, eliminating need for baking in most production environments |
| 2 kV HBM ESD rating | Supports handling in Class 1B ESD areas without additional protection circuitry on board |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar visible-light SMD LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OSRAM LTT67CS2U1 | Same PLCC-2 package, identical luminous intensity (380 mcd) and dominant wavelength (530 nm), but rated for 30 mA max forward current vs. 20 mA for VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 | Higher current capability allows brighter operation with appropriate driver redesign; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when higher brightness is required and automotive qualification is not mandatory |
| Vishay VLMTG41S2U1-GS18 | Identical optoelectrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification, but supplied in 8000-piece GS18 tape reel instead of 1500-piece GS08 | No functional difference; intended for high-volume production runs where reel change frequency must be minimized | Select for large-scale manufacturing to reduce feeder setup time and material handling overhead |
Compared with OSRAM LTT67CS2U1 and Vishay VLMTG41S2U1-GS18, the VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 offers certified automotive reliability in a smaller-reel format ideal for prototyping and medium-batch production, while maintaining identical optical performance and thermal limits.

FAQ
What is the maximum DC forward current rating for the VLMTG41S2U1-GS08?
The VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 has a maximum DC forward current of 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤ 80 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated lumen depreciation and potential thermal runaway due to its 360 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient, per Fig. 1 in the official datasheet.
Is the VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming its suitability for automotive interior lighting including dashboard backlighting and switch indicators. Its operating temperature range (-40 °C to +100 °C), moisture sensitivity level (JEDEC 2a), and 2 kV HBM ESD rating meet standard automotive electronics requirements.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMTG41S2U1-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes the tape-and-reel packaging option: an antistatic 8 mm blister tape containing 1500 units per reel, compliant with DIN IEC 40 (CO) 564. This format is optimized for medium-volume automated placement and differs from the GS18 option (8000 units/reel) intended for high-throughput production lines.
Does the VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
No baking is required if the VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 is mounted within 672 hours of opening the sealed moisture barrier bag under ≤30 °C/60 % RH conditions. The device is preconditioned to JEDEC level 2a, and its packaging includes a humidity indicator card; baking is only necessary if that card reads >10 % RH or the 672-hour window is exceeded.
What is the dominant wavelength range specified for the VLMTG41S2U1-GS08?
The VLMTG41S2U1-GS08 has a dominant wavelength range of 515 nm (minimum) to 541 nm (maximum), with a typical value of 530 nm. This range defines its true green chromaticity and is binned per the color classification table in the datasheet - group 6 covers 533–541 nm, and the "U1" suffix indicates the highest-intensity luminous bin (450–560 mcd).
