VLMG21J2M1-GS08

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The VLMG21J2M1-GS08 is a single-color green surface-mount LED from the Vishay MiniLED series. It features a clear non-diffused lens with a rectangular shape and flat top, measuring 1.50mm x 0.90mm. The component operates at a typical forward voltage of 2.1V with a test current of 10mA. It emits light at a peak wavelength of 565nm and a dominant wavelength of 572nm. The luminous intensity is rated at 12mcd, with a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The package dimensions are 2.20mm in length, 1.40mm in width, and a maximum height of 1.40mm.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Clear non-diffused rectangular lens design suitable for precise optical coupling
• High brightness output within a compact MiniLED footprint
• Compatible with standard automatic placement equipment and IR reflow soldering processes

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Backlighting applications requiring focused light emission
• Coupling to light pipes for indicator illumination
• Status indication in compact electronic devices

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GS08 against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm RoHS compliance and lead-free status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact luminous intensity bin (12mcd) and wavelength specifications required for the design. Confirm moisture sensitivity level and storage conditions prior to assembly.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor SMD LED with high luminous intensity is required. The 120-degree viewing angle and clear lens make it distinct from diffused alternatives. Consider the 2.1V forward voltage drop for circuit design. Verify thermal management capabilities as the power rating is specified at 95mW.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the VLMX series of MiniLEDs manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. It is designed for surface mount technology, offering a low-profile package that supports automated assembly. The series emphasizes exceptional brightness and compatibility with various soldering processes including vapor phase and wave soldering.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

The VLMG21J2L1-GS08 is a related variant within the same series but differs in luminous intensity and potentially wavelength characteristics. Cross-reference technical datasheets to ensure electrical and optical parameters meet application requirements before substitution.
