VLMF31R1S2-GS08

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The VLMF31R1S2-GS08 is a surface-mount single-color orange LED from the Vishay VLM.3 series, housed in a 2-PLCC package. It features a clear, non-diffused lens with a round flat shape and a 2.4 mm diameter. The component operates at a peak wavelength of 610 nm and a dominant wavelength of 605 nm. Typical forward voltage is 2 V, with a maximum power rating of 75 mW. It provides an optical intensity of 285 mcd at a forward current of 30 mA and offers a viewing angle of 120 degrees.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Surface-mount construction in a compact 2-PLCC package for automated assembly
• Clear non-diffused lens design providing focused light output
• High optical intensity of 285 mcd for effective visual indication
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle for broad visibility

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Equipment operational signaling
• Consumer electronics front panels
• Industrial control interface lighting

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GS08 to ensure compliance with RoHS directives and halogen-free requirements as defined by the manufacturer. Confirm that the 2-PLCC footprint matches the target PCB layout dimensions. Check moisture sensitivity levels and storage conditions to prevent degradation prior to soldering. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the required orange wavelength specifications for the application.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when high brightness is required within a standard 2-PLCC form factor. The 285 mcd intensity supports clear visibility in well-lit environments compared to lower-output alternatives. The 120-degree viewing angle accommodates off-axis observation needs. Consider the 2 V forward voltage drop for circuit design compatibility and thermal management relative to the 75 mW power rating.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay VLM.3 series, which focuses on miniaturized surface-mount LEDs. The VLMF31R1S2-GS08 specifically targets orange illumination applications requiring reliable performance in space-constrained designs. It complements other colors in the series, such as red and green variants, allowing for consistent mechanical integration across multi-color indicator systems.
