Product details
Overview
VLMY2000-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a yellow low-current MiniLED SMD device in a 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm white package, rated for 2 mA forward current, 1.8–2.2 V forward voltage, and 581–594 nm dominant wavelength - optimized for automotive dashboard backlighting and industrial indicator applications.
For engineers reviewing the VLMY2000-GS08 datasheet, VLMY2000-GS08 pinout, VLMY2000-GS08 application, or VLMY2000-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (3.55–7.1 mcd at 2 mA), ±60° viewing angle, AEC-Q101 qualification, JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning, and ESD tolerance up to 2 kV.
Technical Context
This AllnGaP-on-GaAs yellow LED operates at low drive current (2 mA typical) with tight luminous intensity ratio (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel) and exhibits stable optical output across –40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature range. Its non-diffused lens enables efficient coupling to light pipes and LCD backlight guides.
The device features a thermal resistance of 580 K/W (junction-to-ambient, mounted on ≥5 mm² copper pad), supports IR reflow per J-STD-020, and complies with AEC-Q101 for automotive reliability - including reverse voltage rating of 5 V and surge current capability of 100 mA (10 μs pulse).
Key Specifications

| Forward current | 2 mA typical - enables ultra-low power indicator operation without active current regulation |
| Dominant wavelength | 581–594 nm - precise yellow chromaticity suitable for status indication and color-coded UI elements |
| Luminous intensity | 3.55–7.1 mcd at 2 mA - binned for consistent brightness within single tape reel |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - wide beam for uniform illumination across small-area symbols and switches |
| Forward voltage | 1.8–2.2 V at 2 mA - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level drive with minimal series resistance |
| ESD withstand | 2 kV HBM - robust handling during automated placement and board assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar yellow LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMY20K1L2-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity (7.1–18 mcd at 2 mA) and same wavelength range (581–594 nm) | Better suited for applications requiring higher brightness in ambient-lit environments | Select when >7.1 mcd output is needed; same footprint and drive conditions apply |
| OSRAM LYM67K-J1K2 | Same yellow chromaticity (585–590 nm), 5.6–11.2 mcd intensity, and 2.0–2.4 V forward voltage | Requires validation of JEDEC Level 2a compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use | Consider for cross-supplier sourcing where Vishay availability is constrained; verify MSL and reflow profile alignment |
Compared with VLMY2000-GS08, VLMY20K1L2-GS08 offers higher intensity headroom while maintaining identical mechanical and electrical interface, whereas OSRAM LYM67K-J1K2 provides functional equivalence but requires separate qualification for automotive-grade deployment.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMY2000-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMY2000-GS08 is 15 mA at ambient temperatures ≤100 °C. However, its optical specifications (luminous intensity, wavelength, viewing angle) are characterized at 2 mA - the recommended operating current for optimal efficiency, longevity, and binning consistency. Exceeding 2 mA increases power dissipation without proportional brightness gain due to saturation effects in the AllnGaP die.
Is VLMY2000-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, VLMY2000-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for –40 °C to +100 °C operating temperature, making it suitable for automotive dashboard backlighting and switch indicators. Its JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning, 2 kV HBM ESD rating, and 5 V reverse voltage tolerance further support robustness in automotive manufacturing and field environments. Full qualification documentation is available from Vishay upon request.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMY2000-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes a 3000-piece tape-and-reel packaging format compliant with EIA-481-D standards, using 8 mm carrier tape width. It also indicates that the part is supplied with Vishay's standard dry-packaging (moisture barrier bag with desiccant and humidity indicator card) and JEDEC Level 2a labeling - confirming MSL 2a compliance for standard SMT reflow without pre-baking.
How is luminous intensity binned for VLMY2000-GS08?
VLMY2000-GS08 is binned per the LUMINOUS INTENSITY CLASSIFICATION Table in the datasheet: it falls in Group J (5.6–7.1 mcd at 2 mA) with a maximum intensity ratio of IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within each reel. This ensures predictable brightness matching across all units on a single tape - eliminating post-assembly sorting for applications requiring uniform visual output.
Can VLMY2000-GS08 be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes, VLMY2000-GS08 can be driven directly from a 3.3 V GPIO with an appropriate current-limiting resistor. At 2 mA forward current and 1.8–2.2 V forward voltage, a 560 Ω resistor yields ~2.0 mA drive (assuming 0.3 V GPIO drop). The device's low current requirement avoids excessive loading on the MCU pin while maintaining sufficient brightness for indicator use - no external driver IC is required.
