VLMG21K1L2-GS08

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The VLMG21K1L2-GS08 is a green surface-mount LED from Vishay's MiniLED series. It emits at a peak wavelength of 565nm and a dominant wavelength of 568nm. The component features a typical forward voltage of 2.1V at a test current of 10mA, with a viewing angle of 120 degrees. Its physical dimensions are 2.20mm in length, 1.40mm in width, and a maximum height of 1.40mm. The package type is a 2-SMD J-Lead configuration.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Utilizes a non-diffused clear lens for direct visibility
• Designed for standard surface mount assembly processes
• Provides high-intensity green indication within a compact footprint

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Electronic device status indicators
• Panel board illumination
• Consumer electronics signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GS08 to confirm lead-free compliance and RoHS3 status as documented by the manufacturer. Ensure procurement channels source directly from authorized distributors to guarantee component authenticity and traceability. Confirm that the ordering quantity aligns with the manufacturer's standard packaging specifications to avoid handling discrepancies during assembly.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile green indicator is required for space-constrained designs. The 2-SMD J-Lead package facilitates automated placement on printed circuit boards. Consider the 120-degree viewing angle for applications requiring broad visibility. Verify that the 2.1V forward voltage drop is compatible with the driving circuit's output capabilities.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's MiniLED family, which focuses on small form-factor components for modern electronics. The VLMG21 series specifically targets applications needing reliable visual feedback in compact devices. The manufacturer provides comprehensive datasheets detailing electrical characteristics and mechanical drawings for integration.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay MiniLED variants such as VLMW2100-GS08 for white light options or VLMS1500-GS08 for red indicators. Ensure any substitute matches the 2-SMD J-Lead package dimensions and electrical parameters to maintain PCB compatibility.
