Product details
Overview
VLMY1301-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a high-brightness AlInGaP yellow surface-mount LED in 0603 (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.8 mm) package, delivering 71–180 mcd luminous intensity at 20 mA, with dominant wavelength 584.5–597 nm and forward voltage 1.8–2.4 V. It serves as an indicator or backlight source in compact consumer and industrial displays requiring wide viewing angle and robust reflow compatibility.
For engineers reviewing the VLMY1301-GS08 datasheet, VLMY1301-GS08 pinout, VLMY1301-GS08 application, or VLMY1301-GS08 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical, electrical, and mechanical specifications - including luminous intensity binning, JEDEC Level 3 preconditioning compliance, and IR reflow profile alignment - to support rapid selection, layout, and reliability validation.
Technical Context
The VLMY1301-GS08 uses AlInGaP semiconductor technology optimized for yellow emission, with spectral line half-width of 15 nm and ±65° angle of half intensity. Its chip-level construction enables high brightness per unit area while maintaining compatibility with standard 0603 footprint and automated assembly processes.
Designed for DC operation at 20 mA nominal forward current, it supports surge currents up to 80 mA (1/10 duty cycle, 0.1 ms), operates across –35 °C to +85 °C ambient range, and exhibits junction capacitance of 40 pF at 0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz frequency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 71–180 mcd at 20 mA - defines visible output level for indicator visibility under typical ambient lighting |

Applications
| Backlight Keyboards | Industrial Control Displays |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Illuminating membrane keypad legends in factory-floor HMIs exposed to dust, vibration, and temperature cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete visual indicator emitting stable yellow light without color shift over 50,000-hour lifetime. Use Value: High luminous intensity (71–180 mcd) ensures legibility under bright ambient light; ±65° viewing angle covers full operator field-of-view without hotspots. |
Use Scenario: Status indication on DIN-rail mounted PLC I/O modules operating continuously in unconditioned control cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone status emitter driven directly from microcontroller GPIO with series resistor. Use Value: –35 °C to +85 °C operating range matches industrial ambient requirements; 0603 size allows dense LED arrays on compact PCBs. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary visual signal element in sealed LED array modules rated for 50,000-hour service life. Use Value: AlInGaP construction provides superior lumen maintenance vs. InGaN under sustained DC drive; 80 mA surge rating tolerates brief overcurrent events during power-up. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar yellow LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMY1300-GS08 | Luminous intensity range 28–180 mcd (lower min value); same wavelength and VF specs | Suitable where lower baseline brightness is acceptable (e.g., low-power standby indicators) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for guaranteed ≥71 mcd minimum output |
| VLMG1300-GS08 | Yellow-green emission (571 nm typ.), 18–35 mcd intensity, 2.0–2.4 V VF | Better for applications requiring chromatic distinction from pure yellow (e.g., status differentiation in multi-color arrays) | Choose when spectral separation from adjacent yellow or red LEDs is required for human-perceptible coding |
Compared with VLMY1301-GS08, VLMY1300-GS08 offers lower minimum intensity but identical package and drive characteristics, while VLMG1300-GS08 shifts chromaticity toward green - enabling color-coded status schemes without changing PCB layout or drive circuitry.

FAQ
What is the exact dominant wavelength range of the VLMY1301-GS08?
The VLMY1301-GS08 has a dominant wavelength range of 584.5 nm to 597 nm, measured at 20 mA forward current. This specification is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 82437, Rev. 1.6) under Optical and Electrical Characteristics for yellow devices. The range ensures consistent yellow chromaticity across production lots and supports color-matching requirements in multi-LED interfaces.
Does the VLMY1301-GS08 include an integrated ESD protection diode?
No, the VLMY1301-GS08 does not include an integrated ESD protection diode. Unlike the VLMB1310-GS08 (blue variant with HBM 8000 V rating), the VLMY1301-GS08 relies on external handling precautions and board-level protection. Its absolute maximum reverse voltage is 5 V, and it follows JEDEC Level 3 preconditioning - meaning ESD-sensitive handling is required during assembly and testing.
What is the recommended soldering profile for VLMY1301-GS08?
The VLMY1301-GS08 is compatible with lead-free IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020C. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C, with time above 217 °C limited to ≤30 s and total time above 240 °C capped at ≤100 s. Ramp rates are constrained to ≤3 °C/s (up) and ≤6 °C/s (down). This profile is validated in the Vishay datasheet Figure 20 and supports reliable joint formation without thermal damage to the AlInGaP die.
Can VLMY1301-GS08 be driven at 30 mA like some other 0603 LEDs?
No - the VLMY1301-GS08 is rated for a maximum DC forward current of 30 mA only for AlInGaP-series devices (including VLMY1301-GS08), but its recommended operating current is 20 mA per the datasheet's optical/electrical characterization tables. Exceeding 20 mA may accelerate lumen depreciation and shift dominant wavelength; the 30 mA rating is an absolute maximum limit, not a design target.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMY1301-GS08, and what group does it belong to?
The VLMY1301-GS08 is binned into the "Q" luminous intensity group (71–112 mcd) per Vishay's classification table. Each reel ships with a single brightness group - no mixing - and the "Q" designation appears in the part's selection code (SelCode) on the barcode label. This ensures predictable optical output across production reels without post-assembly sorting.
