Product details
Overview
VLMY234ABCA-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a yellow AlInGaP-on-Si power MiniLED SMD device in a 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm package, delivering 1400–3550 mcd luminous intensity at 50 mA, with dominant wavelength 583–594 nm and forward voltage 1.9–2.8 V. It serves as a high-brightness indicator or backlight source in automotive dashboards and industrial control panels under harsh ambient conditions.
For engineers reviewing the VLMY234ABCA-GS08 datasheet, VLMY234ABCA-GS08 pinout, VLMY234ABCA-GS08 application, or VLMY234ABCA-GS08 equivalent, this page delivers verified optical/electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification status, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning compliance, ±60° viewing angle, and ESD withstand up to 2 kV - all critical for automotive-grade LED selection and reliability validation.
Technical Context
This yellow power MiniLED uses AlInGaP-on-Si die technology to achieve stable chromaticity and high luminous intensity across temperature extremes. Its 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm surface-mount package supports IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with thermal resistance RthJA = 325 K/W when mounted on ≥16 mm² copper pad.
The device operates within -40 °C to +100 °C ambient range and supports DC forward current up to 70 mA at Tamb ≤ 60 °C. Reverse voltage rating is limited to 5 V for short-term use only, consistent with standard LED polarity constraints and automotive signal integrity requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar yellow LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OSRAM LY M67F-T2V2-36 | Same yellow chromaticity (585–595 nm), identical 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm package, but rated for 60 mA max forward current vs. 70 mA | Qualified to AEC-Q102 (optoelectronics) rather than AEC-Q101 (discrete semiconductors); identical thermal resistance | Select when OSRAM supply chain alignment or legacy design reuse is required; verify driver compliance with 60 mA limit |
| Vishay VLMK234ABCA-GS08 | Orange-red variant (611–622 nm), same package, identical 1400–3550 mcd intensity range and 1.9–2.8 V VF | Used where amber/orange hue is preferred for differentiation (e.g., caution vs. warning indicators); shares same thermal and soldering profile | Choose for color-coded UI schemes requiring adjacent orange-red and yellow indicators with matched form factor and drive characteristics |
Compared with VLMY234ABCA-GS08, OSRAM LY M67F-T2V2-36 offers equivalent optical performance but lower current headroom and different qualification scope, while VLMK234ABCA-GS08 provides identical mechanical and electrical behavior with shifted chromaticity - enabling seamless dual-color implementations without layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMY234ABCA-GS08?
The VLMY234ABCA-GS08 has a DC forward current rating of 70 mA when ambient temperature is ≤ 60 °C. At higher temperatures, derating applies per Figure 1 in the datasheet - e.g., 50 mA at 85 °C ambient. Exceeding these limits risks accelerated lumen depreciation and thermal runaway. The VLMY234ABCA-GS08 must be operated within its absolute maximum ratings to maintain AEC-Q101 compliance and long-term reliability.
Is VLMY234ABCA-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMY234ABCA-GS08 is qualified for lead-free IR reflow per J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C for ≤ 10 s. The recommended profile includes ramp-up ≤ 3 °C/s, time above 217 °C ≤ 30 s, and cooling rate ≤ 6 °C/s. Preconditioning to JEDEC level 2a ensures moisture sensitivity is mitigated, eliminating pre-bake requirements for VLMY234ABCA-GS08 in standard production flow.
Does VLMY234ABCA-GS08 require external current limiting?
Yes, VLMY234ABCA-GS08 requires external current limiting - either a series resistor or constant-current driver - because it exhibits negative dynamic resistance beyond its forward voltage knee. At 50 mA, typical VF is 2.3 V; without limiting, supply variations or thermal drift could cause current runaway. The VLMY234ABCA-GS08 datasheet specifies 70 mA absolute maximum, making proper driver design essential for lifetime and brightness stability.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMY234ABCA-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes an 8 mm tape carrier with 3000 units per reel, conforming to EIA-481 standard dimensions and peel strength (0.1–1.3 N). This packaging format is optimized for high-speed SMT placement equipment and includes dry-pack moisture protection with JESD22-A112 level 2a labeling. The GS08 configuration ensures VLMY234ABCA-GS08 remains assembly-ready without baking if used within 672 hours of bag opening at <30 °C/60 % RH.
How is the luminous intensity binned for VLMY234ABCA-GS08?
VLMY234ABCA-GS08 is binned into luminous intensity groups (AB = 1400–1800 mcd, BA = 1800–2240 mcd, CA = 2800–3550 mcd) per reel - no mixing across groups. Each reel ships with one intensity group only, ensuring consistent brightness across production batches. The "ABCA" in the part number indicates AB intensity bin and CA wavelength bin (589–592 nm), directly traceable via the bar code label's SelCode field on the GS08 reel.
