Product details
Overview
VLMW1500-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a white ultrabright 0402 ChipLED using InGaN blue die with yellow phosphor conversion, delivering 45–180 mcd luminous intensity at 5 mA, 2.65–3.05 V forward voltage, and ±65° viewing angle - designed for compact indicator and backlighting applications in telecom and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the VLMW1500-GS08 datasheet, VLMW1500-GS08 pinout, VLMW1500-GS08 application, or VLMW1500-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (Group P), chromaticity coordinates (x=0.304, y=0.300), JEDEC Level 2a moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with Pb-free IR reflow soldering profiles up to 255 °C peak.
Technical Context
This SMD LED employs an InGaN blue-emitting chip coupled with a yellow phosphor converter to produce white light with typical CCT of 7000 K and CIE 1931 chromaticity coordinates centered at (0.304, 0.300). Its optical output is characterized by a ±65° half-intensity angle and tested under 25 ms current pulses.
Thermally, it features a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 550 K/W and operates across –30 °C to +80 °C ambient temperature. Absolute maximum ratings include 20 mA DC forward current, 100 ms surge current limit of 100 mA, and 70 mW power dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous Intensity | 45–180 mcd at 5 mA - defines visible brightness level for indicator readability under ambient lighting |
| Forward Voltage | 2.65–3.05 V at 5 mA - determines series resistor value and power budget in low-current LED drive circuits |
| Chromaticity Coordinates | x = 0.304, y = 0.300 (CIE 1931) - specifies consistent white point within S1–S6 color group classification |
| Viewing Angle | ±65° half-intensity - enables wide-angle visibility without secondary optics in space-constrained layouts |
| Package Dimensions | 1.0 mm × 0.5 mm × 0.35 mm - fits ultra-dense PCBs where 0402 footprint is required for miniaturization |
| Moisture Sensitivity | JEDEC Level 2a - mandates dry-pack storage and ≤672 h factory floor life before reflow unless baked |
| Thermal Resistance | RthJA = 550 K/W - limits continuous drive current in non-ventilated enclosures above 40 °C ambient |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar white SMD LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LUMILEDS L121-A411002000000 | 0603 package (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm), higher 120–240 mcd output, same 7000 K CCT | Requires larger PCB footprint and higher drive current margin; better suited for higher-brightness UIs | Select when >120 mcd is required and 0402 size constraint is relaxed |
| OSRAM LO T671 | 0402 package, 60–120 mcd, tighter chromaticity tolerance (±0.005), lower RthJA = 480 K/W | Improved thermal performance enables longer duty-cycle flashing; tighter color consistency for branding-critical panels | Select when color uniformity or thermal headroom in sealed enclosures is prioritized over cost |
Compared with LUMILEDS L121-A411002000000 and OSRAM LO T671, the VLMW1500-GS08 offers the smallest footprint and lowest cost-per-unit in its luminous intensity class, with verified JEDEC Level 2a handling and industry-standard 0402 placement compatibility - making it optimal for high-volume, space-constrained consumer electronics.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity range of the VLMW1500-GS08 at 5 mA?
The VLMW1500-GS08 delivers a luminous intensity range of 45–180 mcd at 5 mA forward current, classified in Group P per Vishay's binning specification. This range reflects factory-tested units shipped on a single reel, ensuring consistent brightness within each order without mixing intensity groups.
Does the VLMW1500-GS08 require special handling due to moisture sensitivity?
Yes, the VLMW1500-GS08 is rated JEDEC Level 2a and must be stored in sealed dry bags until use. Once opened, it must be mounted within 672 hours at ≤30 °C/60% RH or baked per J-STD-033 guidelines - otherwise moisture-induced popcorning may occur during Pb-free reflow at 255 °C peak.
What are the chromaticity coordinates and color temperature of the VLMW1500-GS08?
The VLMW1500-GS08 has chromaticity coordinates x = 0.304 and y = 0.300 per CIE 1931, placing it in the S1–S6 color group. Its typical correlated color temperature is 7000 K, producing a cool white output suitable for high-contrast indicator applications.
Can the VLMW1500-GS08 be used with standard Pb-free reflow processes?
Yes, the VLMW1500-GS08 is qualified for Pb-free IR reflow per J-STD-020C, with a recommended profile peaking at 245–255 °C for ≤100 s. Its package withstands this thermal stress when preconditioned to Level 2a and handled per Vishay's dry-pack instructions.
What is the viewing angle specification for the VLMW1500-GS08?
The VLMW1500-GS08 has an angle of half intensity of ±65°, meaning luminous intensity drops to 50% of center-axis value at ±65° off-normal. This wide viewing angle supports broad visibility in front-panel indicators without requiring lens collimation.
