Product details
Overview
VLMW2100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a white surface-mount LED with InGaN/TAG-on-SiC technology, 56–80 mcd luminous intensity at 10 mA, 3.0–3.7 V forward voltage, ±60° viewing angle, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability.
For engineers reviewing the VLMW2100-GS08 datasheet, VLMW2100-GS08 pinout, VLMW2100-GS08 application, or VLMW2100-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (Group P2), chromaticity coordinates (x=0.33, y=0.33), thermal resistance (480 K/W), RoHS/WEEE compliance, and JEDEC Level 2a moisture sensitivity handling.
Technical Context
The VLMW2100-GS08 is a standard MiniLED SMD package (2.2 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm) designed for high-reliability backlighting in constrained spaces. It operates with DC forward current up to 20 mA at ambient temperatures from –40 °C to +100 °C and features low-profile mounting compatible with IR reflow per J-STD-020.
Its optical performance is defined by CIE 1931 chromaticity coordinates (x=0.33, y=0.33), temperature coefficients of –3.6 mV/K for VF and –0.3 %/K for IV, and angular intensity distribution peaking at 0° with half-intensity at ±60°.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 56–80 mcd at 10 mA - defines visible brightness level for indicator/backlight use under standard drive conditions |
| Forward voltage | 3.0–3.7 V at 10 mA - determines minimum supply headroom and series resistor sizing |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - specifies beam spread for uniform illumination across small-area targets like symbols or LCD segments |
| Junction temp. max | 100 °C - sets thermal derating limit for continuous operation in automotive/industrial enclosures |
| Thermal resistance | 480 K/W - indicates heat dissipation capability when mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB copper pad |
| ESD withstand | 1 kV HBM per JESD22-A114-B - defines minimum handling protection required during assembly |
| Moisture sensitivity | JEDEC Level 2a - mandates dry-pack storage and ≤672 h factory floor exposure before reflow |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar white SMD LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LWM673-5K8L | Same chromaticity bin (5K8L), identical luminous intensity range (56–80 mcd), but larger 2.8 mm × 2.0 mm package | Requires PCB layout revision due to 27% larger footprint; less suitable for ultra-thin assemblies | Select LWM673-5K8L only if board space permits and existing LWM673-based designs require drop-in brightness matching |
| VLMW21N2R2-5K8L-08 | Same package and bin code, but lower min. intensity (35.5 mcd) and wider range (35.5–180 mcd) - broader bin tolerance | Acceptable where brightness uniformity is secondary to cost; not recommended for color-critical backlighting | Choose VLMW21N2R2-5K8L-08 for non-critical indicators where intensity variation is tolerable and procurement flexibility is prioritized |
Compared with LWM673-5K8L and VLMW21N2R2-5K8L-08, the VLMW2100-GS08 offers tighter luminous intensity control (56–80 mcd vs. 35.5–180 mcd) and smallest footprint (2.2 mm × 1.3 mm), making it optimal for space-constrained, color-consistent automotive and telecom backlighting.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity range of the VLMW2100-GS08 at 10 mA?
The VLMW2100-GS08 has a minimum luminous intensity of 56 mcd and a typical value of 80 mcd at 10 mA forward current, per its Group P2 binning. This range is measured with a 25 ms pulse and ±11% accuracy, ensuring predictable brightness for indicator and backlight designs where visual consistency matters.
Is the VLMW2100-GS08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the VLMW2100-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life required for automotive under-hood and cabin environments. Its operating temperature range of –40 °C to +100 °C further supports deployment in dashboards and control panels.
What does the "5K8L" suffix in VLMW2100-GS08 indicate?
The "5K8L" suffix identifies the chromaticity bin and luminous intensity group: "5K" denotes the x/y coordinate group centered at (0.33, 0.33) per CIE 1931, while "8L" specifies the luminous intensity bin within Group P2 (56–71 mcd). This ensures consistent white point and brightness across production reels of VLMW2100-GS08.
What is the maximum forward current rating for continuous operation of the VLMW2100-GS08?
The VLMW2100-GS08 is rated for a maximum DC forward current of 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤60 °C. At higher ambient temperatures, derating is required per Figure 1 in the datasheet; for example, at 100 °C ambient, the safe continuous current drops to approximately 12 mA to maintain junction temperature ≤100 °C.
Does the VLMW2100-GS08 require special handling during PCB assembly?
Yes - the VLMW2100-GS08 is JEDEC Level 2a moisture-sensitive and must be stored in dry packaging until use. Once opened, it must be mounted within 672 hours at ≤30 °C/60% RH or baked per J-STD-020 guidelines before reflow. Its 1 kV HBM ESD rating also requires standard anti-static handling during placement and inspection.
