Product details
Overview
VLMY30K2M1-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a yellow AlInGaP low-current SMD LED in PLCC-2 package, delivering 9–22.4 mcd luminous intensity at 2 mA, with dominant wavelength 581–594 nm and ±60° viewing angle - used for automotive dashboard backlighting and indicator applications.
For engineers reviewing the VLMY30K2M1-GS08 datasheet, VLMY30K2M1-GS08 pinout, VLMY30K2M1-GS08 application, or VLMY30K2M1-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include luminous intensity binning (M1 group), AEC-Q101 qualification, IR-reflow compatibility, and non-diffused lens suitability for light-pipe coupling.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Vishay's VLMY30 series of low-power surface-mount LEDs optimized for indicator and backlight functions in space-constrained, thermally sensitive environments. It operates at 2 mA forward current with 1.8–2.2 V forward voltage and supports JEDEC level 2a preconditioning.
The PLCC-2 package features a white thermoplastic body with internal reflector and clear epoxy lens, enabling high optical efficiency and compatibility with automated placement equipment. Its ±60° half-intensity angle and non-diffused lens support precise light directionality in flat backlight and symbol illumination.
