Product details
Overview
VLMY3000-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a yellow AlInGaP-based surface-mount LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 4.5–11.6 mcd luminous intensity at 2 mA forward current, with dominant wavelength 581–594 nm and ±60° viewing angle-designed for low-power indicator and backlighting applications in automotive dashboards and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the VLMY3000-GS08 datasheet, VLMY3000-GS08 pinout, VLMY3000-GS08 application, or VLMY3000-GS08 equivalent, this device offers AEC-Q101 qualification, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning, 2 kV ESD withstand voltage, and compatibility with IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020-key selection criteria for high-reliability SMD indicator designs.
Technical Context
The VLMY3000-GS08 operates as a low-current (IF = 2 mA) visible-light emitter with non-diffused lens optimized for coupling to light pipes and flat backlighting. Its PLCC-2 package integrates a white thermoplastic body with internal reflector and clear epoxy encapsulation, enabling consistent optical performance across temperature ranges from –40 °C to +100 °C.
It features a maximum DC forward current of 15 mA, reverse voltage rating of 6 V, thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 400 K/W on ≥16 mm² PCB pad, and luminous intensity ratio IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within a single tape reel-ensuring brightness uniformity for automated assembly and visual consistency in multi-LED arrays.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar yellow LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMY30J2L1-GS08 | Higher typical luminous intensity (10.6 mcd vs. 11.6 mcd), same wavelength range and package | Suitable where tighter brightness binning (J2/L1 group) is required for multi-LED panels | Select when brightness matching across multiple units is critical; same footprint and drive conditions |
| OSRAM LYT67K-J2L1 | Identical optical and electrical specs per Vishay cross-reference table; different branding and traceability | Same automotive and industrial use cases; qualified to AEC-Q101 but with OSRAM-specific test reports | Choose for dual-sourcing strategy or existing OSRAM design-in; no layout or firmware changes needed |
Compared with VLMY3000-GS08, VLMY30J2L1-GS08 offers tighter luminance grouping for visual uniformity, while LYT67K-J2L1 provides second-source assurance with identical photometric behavior-both maintain the same PLCC-2 footprint, 2 mA drive point, and ±60° viewing angle.

FAQ
What is the recommended forward current for continuous operation of the VLMY3000-GS08?
The VLMY3000-GS08 is characterized at 2 mA for luminous intensity and forward voltage specifications, and its absolute maximum DC forward current is 15 mA. For reliable long-term operation with minimal thermal drift and aging, Vishay recommends operating the VLMY3000-GS08 at 2 mA-matching its test condition and ensuring optimal brightness consistency and lifetime. Higher currents increase luminance but accelerate degradation and require thermal derating above 25 °C ambient.
Is the VLMY3000-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the VLMY3000-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD required for automotive electronic components. It operates from –40 °C to +100 °C and maintains luminous intensity stability across that range-making it suitable for dashboard backlighting, switch illumination, and other non-safety-critical automotive interior applications. The VLMY3000-GS08 meets these requirements without derating under nominal conditions.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMY3000-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes Vishay's standard 8 mm antistatic blister tape packaging option containing 1500 pieces per reel. This tape format complies with DIN IEC 40 (CO) 564 and is compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment. GS08 specifies the cavity pitch (8 mm), top tape type, and reel dimensions (178 mm diameter, 13 mm width)-distinct from GS18, which holds 8000 pieces and uses a larger reel. The VLMY3000-GS08 ships exclusively in GS08 configuration unless otherwise ordered.
Can the VLMY3000-GS08 be used with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the VLMY3000-GS08 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, supporting peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. Vishay provides a validated Pb-free reflow profile with ramp rates ≤3 °C/s (up) and ≤6 °C/s (down), preheat to 150–200 °C, and liquidus time ≥60 s. The device also passes JEDEC level 2a preconditioning, eliminating the need for baking prior to reflow-enabling seamless integration into modern RoHS-compliant SMT lines.
What is the significance of the ±60° viewing angle specification for the VLMY3000-GS08?
The ±60° viewing angle (120° total) defines the angular range where luminous intensity remains ≥50% of its axial value-indicating wide, Lambertian-like emission useful for broad-area illumination. For the VLMY3000-GS08, this enables uniform lighting of symbols, switches, or LCD edges without secondary optics. In contrast, narrow-angle LEDs (e.g., ±15°) concentrate light for long-distance signaling. The VLMY3000-GS08's ±60° angle directly supports its intended use in panel-level backlighting and status indication where wide visibility is essential.
