Product details
Overview
VLMY20J1L2-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a yellow low-current Mini SMD LED in a 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm white package, rated for 2 mA forward current, with dominant wavelength 581–594 nm, luminous intensity 5.6–7.1 mcd, and ±60° viewing angle - deployed in automotive dashboard backlighting and industrial indicator panels.
For engineers reviewing the VLMY20J1L2-GS08 datasheet, VLMY20J1L2-GS08 pinout, VLMY20J1L2-GS08 application, or VLMY20J1L2-GS08 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification status, JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning compliance, IR reflow profile data, and real-world coupling performance with light pipes.
Technical Context
This device operates as a surface-mount indicator LED optimized for low-power, high-reliability environments. It uses AllnGaP-on-GaAs technology to deliver stable yellow emission at 2 mA drive, with junction temperature up to +125 °C and operating ambient range of –40 to +100 °C.
The non-diffused lens enables precise optical coupling to light guides and backlight films, while its 15 pF junction capacitance and 580 K/W thermal resistance support stable pulse and DC operation in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive terminal | Connected to current source; requires series resistor to limit IF to ≤15 mA max |
| Cathode (K) | Negative terminal | Marked on package; must be tied to ground or low-side switch node |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-diffused lens | Enables efficient coupling into light pipes and edge-lit LCD backlights without optical loss from scattering |
| Luminous intensity ratio ≤1.6 | Ensures consistent brightness across LEDs on same reel - critical for uniform panel appearance |
| Low profile (1.4 mm height) | Permits integration behind thin bezels and sealed membrane switches in industrial HMIs |
| IR reflow compatible | Supports automated assembly with peak temperature up to 255 °C and 120 s dwell time |

Applications
| Automotive Dashboard Backlighting | Industrial Control Panel Indicators |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Illuminating segmented symbols and warning icons on vehicle instrument clusters under varying ambient lighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive optical emitter - driven by constant-current source or GPIO with resistor; no timing or control logic required. Use Value: Stable 588 nm yellow output ensures high contrast against black backgrounds and maintains visibility at –40 °C to +100 °C ambient. | Use Scenario: Status indication on programmable logic controller (PLC) I/O modules and safety-rated operator panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Visual feedback element - activated by microcontroller GPIO or discrete transistor switch; no internal intelligence. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and 2 kV ESD rating reduce field failure risk in electrically noisy factory environments. |
| Office Equipment Power/Status Indicators | Audio/Video Equipment Front-Panel Symbols |
Use Scenario: Low-power standby and operational status lights on multifunction printers and networked copiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current-driven light source - no modulation or PWM capability; brightness set by external resistor. Use Value: 2 mA typical drive current minimizes power draw in always-on systems, extending energy efficiency certifications. | Use Scenario: Symbol illumination on AV receiver front panels and studio monitor controls where color fidelity matters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monochromatic visible emitter - wavelength binning (581–594 nm) ensures consistent yellow hue across production batches. Use Value: Tight dominant wavelength tolerance supports brand-aligned UI color schemes without post-production sorting. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar yellow LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMY20K1L2-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity (7.1–18 mcd), same package and wavelength range | Better suited for higher ambient light conditions (e.g., outdoor kiosks) | Select when >7.1 mcd output is required without changing PCB layout |
| LYM67K-J1K2 | OSRAM cross-reference; identical optical specs but different tape packaging (non-GS08) | Same automotive and industrial use cases; may require requalification for traceability | Choose for dual-sourcing flexibility if Vishay supply constraints arise |
Compared with VLMY20J1L2-GS08, VLMY20K1L2-GS08 offers higher brightness in the same footprint, while LYM67K-J1K2 provides second-source assurance with identical photometric behavior but alternate logistics handling.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMY20J1L2-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMY20J1L2-GS08 is 15 mA at ambient temperatures ≤100 °C. However, its rated operating condition is 2 mA - delivering optimal luminous intensity (5.6–7.1 mcd) and longevity. Exceeding 2 mA increases power dissipation and accelerates lumen depreciation; sustained operation above 15 mA risks permanent damage.
Does VLMY20J1L2-GS08 have AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes, VLMY20J1L2-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified. This certification confirms it has passed accelerated stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD robustness required for automotive electronic components. The qualification applies directly to this part number, not just the VLMY20.. family.
What is the viewing angle specification for VLMY20J1L2-GS08?
VLMY20J1L2-GS08 has an angle of half intensity of ±60°, meaning luminous intensity drops to 50% of its peak value at 60° off-axis in both horizontal and vertical directions. This wide viewing cone ensures consistent visibility across broad operator angles in dashboards and control panels.
Can VLMY20J1L2-GS08 be used with standard IR reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMY20J1L2-GS08 is qualified for lead-free IR reflow per J-STD-020, with a peak temperature of 255 °C and maximum dwell time of 120 seconds. Its package withstands the full profile, including ramp rates up to 3 °C/s (up) and 6 °C/s (down), provided preconditioning per JEDEC Level 2a is performed prior to soldering.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMY20J1L2-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging: 3000 units per reel, 8 mm carrier tape width, with EIA-481-compliant orientation and leader/trailer lengths. It also indicates compliance with Vishay's dry-packaging standard, including moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 2a labeling and desiccant-sealed aluminum bag shipment.
