Product details
Overview
VLMW1502-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a white ultrabright 0402 ChipLED with InGaN/yellow converter technology, 71–180 mcd luminous intensity at 5 mA, chromaticity coordinates (x=0.314, y=0.315), and forward voltage 2.65–3.05 V. It serves as an indicator or backlight in compact consumer and office electronics operating from –30 °C to +80 °C.
For engineers reviewing the VLMW1502-GS08 datasheet, VLMW1502-GS08 pinout, VLMW1502-GS08 application, or VLMW1502-GS08 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical, electrical, thermal, and packaging data - including CIE 1931 chromaticity binning, JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning, IR reflow compatibility, and SMD 0402 footprint dimensions - to support rapid LED selection and layout integration.
Technical Context
The VLMW1502-GS08 uses InGaN blue die coupled with a yellow phosphor converter to produce white light with typical color temperature of 7000 K and ±65° viewing angle. Its epoxy-filled 0402 package enables high reliability on PCBs under arduous environmental conditions.
It operates within a DC forward current limit of 20 mA and thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 550 K/W. Reverse current remains ≤10 μA at 5 V, and it complies with EIA standard packaging and JEDEC Level 2a moisture sensitivity requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar white SMD LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the exact chromaticity coordinate specification for VLMW1502-GS08?
The VLMW1502-GS08 has confirmed chromaticity coordinates of x = 0.314 and y = 0.315 per CIE 1931, measured at 5 mA pulse current. This places it in the S6 chromaticity group per Vishay's internal binning table, ensuring tight white-point consistency across production lots of the VLMW1502-GS08.
Does VLMW1502-GS08 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, the VLMW1502-GS08 is qualified for lead-free IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020C, with peak temperature up to 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. Its package withstands the full profile, including ramp rates (max 3 °C/s up, 6 °C/s down) and time above liquidus (217 °C), as documented in the official Vishay reflow profile for the VLMW1502-GS08.
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for VLMW1502-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMW1502-GS08 is 20 mA at ambient temperature ≤25 °C. At higher temperatures, derating applies per Fig. 1 in the datasheet; for example, at 60 °C ambient, the recommended max continuous current drops to approximately 12 mA to maintain reliability and luminous output stability of the VLMW1502-GS08.
Is VLMW1502-GS08 compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment?
Yes, the VLMW1502-GS08 is supplied on 7″ diameter reels with 3000 units per reel, conforming to EIA-481-D tape-and-reel standards. Its 0402 footprint, defined cavity depth, and cathode marking enable reliable vacuum nozzle pickup and accurate placement - verified for use with common SMT placement systems handling the VLMW1502-GS08.
How does the VLMW1502-GS08 differ from VLMW1500-GS08 and VLMW1501-GS08?
The VLMW1502-GS08 shares identical forward voltage (2.65–3.05 V) and luminous intensity range (71–180 mcd) with VLMW1501-GS08 and VLMW1503-GS08, but differs in chromaticity: VLMW1502-GS08 is binned to (x=0.314, y=0.315), whereas VLMW1500-GS08 is (0.304, 0.300) and VLMW1501-GS08 is (0.294, 0.286). All variants use the same InGaN/yellow converter and 0402 package, so the VLMW1502-GS08 is selected specifically for its S6 color point.
