VLMP232M2P1-GS08

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The VLMP232M2P1-GS08 is a visible light LED from the Vishay VLMx23 series, housed in a standard PLCC-2 surface-mount package. It features a round top design with a non-diffused lens and utilizes a white thermoplastic lead frame embedded in transparent epoxy resin. The component operates within a forward voltage range of 2V to 2.8V across two pins. It is engineered for low power consumption and offers specific luminous intensity classifications suitable for applications requiring limited brightness and color selection options.

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet version and RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before finalizing procurement. Confirm that the PLCC-2 package dimensions and pinout align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range meets your specific environmental conditions. Cross-reference the part number suffix GS08 to confirm material composition and halogen-free status as per current manufacturing standards.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-profile indicator is required without the need for wide beam diffusion. The PLCC-2 form factor allows for automated assembly and space-constrained designs. Consider the specific luminous intensity classification needed for visibility requirements. This part is suitable where moderate brightness suffices and cost-effective surface mounting is prioritized over high-intensity output capabilities found in larger packages.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This device belongs to the Vishay VLMx23 series of visible light LEDs. The series is characterized by its use of standard PLCC-2 or PLCC-3 packages, making it compatible with common SMT processes. These LEDs are designed for general indication purposes rather than high-power illumination, offering a balance between size, power efficiency, and adequate visibility for status signaling in electronic assemblies.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Check for other parts within the VLMx23 series or similar PLCC-2 LEDs from Vishay that match the required wavelength and intensity class. Verify mechanical compatibility with existing footprints. Ensure electrical characteristics such as forward voltage and maximum current ratings are equivalent to avoid circuit redesign.
