Product details
Overview
VLMY30J2M1-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a yellow AlInGaP-based low-current SMD LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 5.6–22.4 mcd luminous intensity at 2 mA, with dominant wavelength 581–594 nm and ±60° viewing angle - used for indicator and backlighting in automotive dashboards and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the VLMY30J2M1-GS08 datasheet, VLMY30J2M1-GS08 pinout, VLMY30J2M1-GS08 application, or VLMY30J2M1-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (J2/M1), forward voltage range (1.8–2.2 V), AEC-Q101 qualification, and compatibility with IR reflow per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This device operates as a surface-mount indicator LED with non-diffused lens optimized for light-pipe coupling 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.
Designed for reliability in harsh environments, VLMY30J2M1-GS08 supports operating temperatures from –40 °C to +100 °C, withstands 2 kV ESD (JESD22-A114-B), and meets JEDEC level 2a preconditioning and AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 5.6 (min) / 11.6 (typ) / 22.4 (max) mcd at 2 mA - defines brightness binning group J2/M1 for consistent visual output across reels |
| Dominant wavelength | 581–594 nm - specifies yellow chromaticity suitable for high-visibility status indication |
| Forward voltage | 1.8–2.2 V at 2 mA - enables direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V logic with minimal series resistance |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - provides wide, uniform illumination ideal for panel backlighting and symbol illumination |
| Absolute max forward current | 15 mA - sets safe continuous operating limit; typical use at 2 mA ensures >50,000 hr lifetime |
| Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance | 400 K/W on ≥16 mm² PCB pad - requires adequate copper area for thermal management in high-density layouts |
| ESD withstand voltage | 2 kV HBM (JESD22-A114-B) - supports handling without special ESD controls in standard assembly lines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar yellow LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMY30K2M1-GS08 | Higher min/typ luminous intensity (9/12.3 mcd) and same M1 bin - brighter but less dimmable at lowest current | Better suited for high-ambient-light environments where higher baseline brightness is required | Select when >10 mcd minimum intensity is needed; verify optical design tolerates higher output |
| VLMY30J2L1-GS08 | Lower max luminous intensity (14 mcd vs. 22.4 mcd) and L1 bin - narrower intensity range within reel | Preferred where tighter luminance matching across units is prioritized over peak brightness | Choose for applications requiring strict visual uniformity, such as multi-LED status arrays |
Compared with VLMY30J2M1-GS08, VLMY30K2M1-GS08 offers higher baseline brightness for demanding lighting conditions, while VLMY30J2L1-GS08 provides tighter intensity clustering - enabling more predictable optical performance in mass-produced assemblies.
