Product details
Overview
VLMW3200-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a high-efficiency white power SMD LED in PLCC-4 package, using InGaN/TAG-on-SiC technology with 560 mcd minimum luminous intensity at 30 mA, 4.2 V maximum forward voltage, and ±60° viewing angle - deployed in backlighting, indicator lighting, and incandescent lamp replacement.
For engineers reviewing the VLMW3200-GS08 datasheet, VLMW3200-GS08 pinout, VLMW3200-GS08 application, or VLMW3200-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (U2 group), thermal resistance (270 K/W), JEDEC Level 2a moisture sensitivity, ESD Class 1 rating, and compatibility with standard reflow and wave soldering per CECC.
Technical Context
The VLMW3200-GS08 employs InGaN/TAG-on-SiC die architecture optimized for thermal dissipation via an enhanced PLCC-4 leadframe, enabling 30 mA DC forward current and 127 mW power dissipation at ≤65 °C ambient. Its chromaticity coordinates (x = 0.33, y = 0.33) meet CIE 1931 white point standards under 30 mA pulsed test conditions.
Thermal performance is validated with RthJA = 270 K/W on specified PCB pad layout, supporting stable operation across –40 to +100 °C ambient range. Luminous intensity ratio within each tape reel is controlled to IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6, ensuring consistent brightness grouping for automated assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | ≥560 mcd at 30 mA - ensures sufficient brightness for indicator and backlight use without overdriving |
| Forward voltage | 3.7–4.2 V at 30 mA - defines minimum supply headroom and driver compliance requirements |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide beam spread suitable for uniform panel illumination and symbol visibility |
| Thermal resistance | 270 K/W - enables higher drive current vs. PLCC-2 LEDs by reducing junction temperature rise |
| ESD rating | Class 1 - requires handling precautions but supports standard assembly environments |
| Moisture sensitivity | JEDEC Level 2a - mandates dry storage or baking before reflow if exposed >672 h at ≤30 °C/60 % RH |
| Operating temp | –40 to +100 °C - supports industrial and automotive interior applications without derating |
Pinout & Package
Package: PLCC-4 surface-mount package with integrated heat-dissipating leadframe; dimensions per Figure 8 (Document 81213, Rev. 1.2); compatible with 8 mm antistatic blister tape (GS08 option, 1500 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | LED anode connection | Positive terminal requiring current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | LED cathode connection | Negative terminal; polarity must be observed to prevent reverse breakdown (max VR = 5 V) |
| Cathode (Pin 3) | Second cathode terminal | Shared cathode configuration - pins 2 and 3 are internally connected for improved thermal path |
| Anode (Pin 4) | Second anode terminal | Shared anode configuration - pins 1 and 4 are internally connected to reduce bond wire resistance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-efficiency InGaN/TAG-on-SiC die | Delivers ≥560 mcd at 30 mA with low thermal drift (TCIV = –0.5 %/K) |
| Optimized PLCC-4 leadframe | Reduces RthJA to 270 K/W - doubles light output vs. legacy PLCC-2 high-intensity LEDs |
| Luminous intensity binning | U2 group (560–710 mcd) shipped per reel - eliminates mixing, enabling predictable optical design |
| Lead (Pb)-free construction | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020C reflow profile |
| ESD robustness | Class 1 rating - withstands typical handling without additional protection circuitry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar white SMD LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OSRAM LWE67C-U2V2 | Same luminous intensity bin (U2), identical PLCC-4 package, x/y = 0.33/0.33 chromaticity | Identical optical and mechanical specs - validated cross-reference per Vishay's official crossing table | Select when OSRAM-sourced supply chain or dual-sourcing strategy is required |
| Nichia NSCW021T | Same U2 binning and PLCC-4 footprint; VF = 3.0–3.6 V (lower than VLMW3200-GS08's 3.7–4.2 V) | Lower forward voltage reduces driver power loss but requires revised current-limiting resistor value | Choose for lower system power consumption where driver headroom permits reduced VF |
Compared with VLMW3200-GS08, LWE67C-U2V2 offers identical photometric and mechanical behavior, while NSCW021T provides lower forward voltage at the cost of adjusted biasing - both require verification of thermal pad layout compatibility and moisture sensitivity handling.

FAQ
What is the luminous intensity specification for VLMW3200-GS08?
The VLMW3200-GS08 has a minimum luminous intensity of 560 mcd at 30 mA forward current, with a typical value of 900 mcd. It is binned into the U2 group (560–710 mcd) per reel, ensuring consistent brightness across production units. This specification is measured using a 25 ms current pulse at Tamb = 25 °C with ±11 % accuracy.
What is the forward voltage range of VLMW3200-GS08 at rated current?
The VLMW3200-GS08 exhibits a forward voltage range of 3.7 V to 4.2 V at 30 mA DC forward current. Its temperature coefficient is –4 mV/K, meaning VF decreases predictably as junction temperature rises - a key factor in thermal design and driver stability analysis for the VLMW3200-GS08.
Is VLMW3200-GS08 compatible with standard reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMW3200-GS08 is qualified for lead (Pb)-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020C, with a peak temperature of 255 °C (max 260 °C for ≤10 s). It requires preconditioning to JEDEC Level 2a, so proper dry storage or baking (e.g., 96 h at 60 °C/<5 % RH) is mandatory before reflow if exposed beyond 672 h at factory conditions.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMW3200-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes Vishay's 8 mm antistatic blister tape packaging option containing 1500 pieces per reel. It complies with DIN IEC 40 (CO) 564 and includes ESD-safe handling features, moisture barrier sealing, and JEDEC Level 2a labeling - all critical for reliable automated placement of the VLMW3200-GS08.
How does the thermal design of VLMW3200-GS08 compare to standard PLCC-2 LEDs?
The VLMW3200-GS08 uses an optimized PLCC-4 leadframe that reduces thermal resistance to 270 K/W - approximately 20 % lower than Vishay's prior PLCC-2 high-intensity LEDs. This allows higher sustained drive current and doubles light output under equivalent thermal conditions, directly improving efficacy in the VLMW3200-GS08.
