Overview
VLMY30J2L1-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a yellow AlInGaP-based low-current SMD LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 5.6–14 mcd luminous intensity at 2 mA forward current, with dominant wavelength 581–594 nm and ±60° viewing angle-designed for indicator and backlighting in automotive dashboards and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the VLMY30J2L1-GS08 datasheet, VLMY30J2L1-GS08 pinout, VLMY30J2L1-GS08 application, or VLMY30J2L1-GS08 equivalent, this part offers AEC-Q101 qualification, JEDEC level 2a preconditioning, 2 kV ESD rating, and compatibility with IR reflow, vapor phase, and wave soldering per J-STD-020 and CECC 00802.
Technical Context
This device operates as a surface-mount indicator light source with non-diffused lens optimized for coupling to light pipes and flat backlighting. Its PLCC-2 package features white thermoplastic body, embedded lead frame, and clear epoxy-filled reflector-enabling high brightness at ultra-low 2 mA drive current.
It supports stable optical performance across -40 °C to +100 °C ambient range, with junction temperature limit of 125 °C and thermal resistance of 400 K/W (mounted on ≥16 mm² PCB pad). Luminous intensity binning ensures IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 within each tape reel.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMY30J2L1-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMY30J2L1-GS08 is 15 mA at Tamb = 25 °C. Operation above 2 mA increases luminous output but requires thermal derating above 25 °C ambient; continuous use at 15 mA is not recommended without thermal analysis. The VLMY30J2L1-GS08 is optimized for 2 mA drive to balance brightness, efficiency, and lifetime.
Is VLMY30J2L1-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VLMY30J2L1-GS08 is fully compatible with lead-free IR reflow soldering per J-STD-020, supporting peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. Its PLCC-2 package has been qualified for JEDEC level 2a preconditioning, eliminating the need for pre-baking before reflow. The VLMY30J2L1-GS08 meets Vishay's Pb-free and RoHS-compliant termination standards.
What does the "J2L1" suffix in VLMY30J2L1-GS08 indicate?
The "J2L1" suffix denotes luminous intensity and wavelength binning: "J" = 4.5–5.6 mcd min–max range, "2" = second intensity subgroup within J, "L" = 11.2–14.0 mcd max-range bin, and "1" = first wavelength subgroup (581–584 nm dominant wavelength). This ensures VLMY30J2L1-GS08 units in one GS08 tape share tightly controlled optical characteristics.
Can VLMY30J2L1-GS08 be used in automotive applications?
Yes, VLMY30J2L1-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use, with operating temperature range of -40 °C to +100 °C and validated reliability for dashboard backlighting and switch illumination. Its construction, binning consistency, and moisture sensitivity level meet automotive electronics requirements. The VLMY30J2L1-GS08 is explicitly listed in Vishay's automotive-grade LED portfolio.
What is the viewing angle and lens type of VLMY30J2L1-GS08?
VLMY30J2L1-GS08 has a ±60° angle of half intensity and uses a non-diffused lens. This optical configuration delivers directional output ideal for coupling into light pipes and edge-lit backlighting systems, minimizing lateral scatter and maximizing usable luminance at the target surface. The VLMY30J2L1-GS08's lens design supports high-efficiency light extraction without secondary optics.
