Product details
Overview
VLMY2100-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a yellow MiniLED SMD package LED with dominant wavelength 581–594 nm, luminous intensity 3.55–8.5 mcd at 10 mA, forward voltage 2.2 V (typ.) at 20 mA, ±60° viewing angle, and low-profile 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm footprint-designed for indicator and backlighting in office equipment, audio/video interfaces, and LCD flat-panel displays.
For engineers reviewing the VLMY2100-GS08 datasheet, VLMY2100-GS08 pinout, VLMY2100-GS08 application, or VLMY2100-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (H–N groups), wavelength classification (6 color bins), ESD rating (2 kV HBM), JEDEC level 2a preconditioning compliance, and IR reflow compatibility per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
The VLMY2100-GS08 is a GaAsP-on-GaP semiconductor light-emitting diode optimized for visible-spectrum indication and backlighting. Its optical output is characterized by a narrow dominant wavelength range (581–594 nm) and tight luminous intensity ratio (IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel), ensuring consistent visual performance across production units.
Thermally, it supports operation from –40 °C to +100 °C ambient, with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 480 K/W when mounted on a PCB pad > 5 mm². It withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤10 s and complies with lead-free soldering profiles per J-STD-020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Color | Yellow - precise chromaticity for high-visibility status indication |
| Dominant wavelength | 581–594 nm - ensures consistent yellow hue across manufacturing lots |
| Luminous intensity | 3.55–8.5 mcd at 10 mA - binned for uniform brightness in multi-LED arrays |
| Forward voltage | 2.2 V (typ.) at 20 mA - enables low-power drive with standard logic-level current sources |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMO2100-GS08 | Soft orange color (598–611 nm), lower typical luminous intensity (7.0 mcd vs. 8.5 mcd) | Better suited for warm-tone status indication where orange improves contrast against blue/black backgrounds | Select when color differentiation from yellow is required; same package, drive conditions, and reliability specs |
| OSRAM LYM670 | Same yellow chromaticity, comparable 585 nm peak wavelength, but wider luminous intensity range (4–12 mcd) | Less stringent binning control; may require post-assembly brightness sorting for uniform panels | Consider for cost-sensitive designs where tighter IV matching is not critical; verify tape/reel compatibility (GS08 = 3000 pcs) |
Compared with VLMO2100-GS08 and OSRAM LYM670, the VLMY2100-GS08 delivers the highest typical luminous intensity (8.5 mcd) within its wavelength band and the tightest intensity ratio (≤1.6), making it optimal for applications demanding visual consistency without post-production calibration.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for VLMY2100-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMY2100-GS08 is 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤ 74 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated degradation and reduced lifetime. The device is rated for surge forward current up to 0.34 A for pulses ≤ 10 μs, but sustained operation must remain within the 20 mA limit to maintain reliability and luminous output stability over time. VLMY2100-GS08 datasheet specifies VF = 2.2 V (typ.) at 20 mA, confirming this as the intended nominal operating point.
Does VLMY2100-GS08 have a built-in current-limiting resistor?
No, VLMY2100-GS08 is a bare LED die in an SMD package and does not include an integrated current-limiting resistor. External current regulation-via series resistor, constant-current driver, or GPIO-controlled current source-is required to prevent thermal runaway and ensure stable luminous output. The device's forward voltage is 2.2 V (typ.) at 20 mA, so a resistor value must be calculated based on supply voltage and desired operating current. VLMY2100-GS08 relies on external circuitry for safe and repeatable operation.
What does "GS08" signify in the VLMY2100-GS08 part number?
"GS08" denotes the packaging configuration: 8 mm tape width and 3000 pieces per reel. This matches Vishay's standard carrier tape specification for MiniLED devices and ensures compatibility with pick-and-place equipment using 8 mm feeder systems. The "GS" prefix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per Vishay's internal coding; "08" confirms the 8 mm tape width. VLMY2100-GS08 is not available in bulk, cut tape, or other formats under this orderable part number.
Is VLMY2100-GS08 RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes, VLMY2100-GS08 is RoHS-compliant (lead-free terminations) and halogen-free, as confirmed by Vishay's environmental documentation (www.vishay.com/doc?99912). It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC requirements. The device carries standard Vishay environmental symbols on its bar code label-including RoHS, Pb-free, and halogen-free markings-and is qualified for use in consumer, industrial, and telecom products subject to these regulations. VLMY2100-GS08 documentation explicitly references compliance in Section "Material categorization".
Can VLMY2100-GS08 be used in outdoor applications?
VLMY2100-GS08 is rated for operating temperatures from –40 °C to +100 °C and has an IP67-equivalent epoxy encapsulation that resists humidity and particulate ingress, but it is not rated for direct UV exposure or prolonged condensation. Its 2 kV HBM ESD rating and JEDEC level 2a moisture sensitivity make it suitable for sealed outdoor enclosures (e.g., industrial control panels or telecom cabinets), but not for unshielded outdoor signage. For such uses, VLMY2100-GS08 requires additional conformal coating or housing. Always validate photometric aging under actual environmental stress.
