VLMS31J2L1-GS08

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The VLMS31J2L1-GS08 is a red surface-mount LED from the Vishay VLMx31 series, designed for indicator applications. It features a clear non-diffused lens with a circular flat-top style and a 2-SMD J-lead PLCC-2 package. The component emits light at a peak wavelength of 643nm with a typical forward voltage of 1.9V at a test current of 10mA. It offers a luminous intensity of 9mcd and a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The device measures 3.50mm in length, 2.80mm in width, and has a maximum height of 1.75mm.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Features a standard PLCC-2 SMD package with J-leads for automated placement compatibility
• Utilizes a non-diffused clear lens suitable for coupling to light pipes
• Constructed with a lead frame embedded in white thermoplastic material

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• General purpose status indicators
• Telecommunications equipment signaling
• Automotive interior lighting indicators

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GS08 against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm RoHS compliance and lead-free status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact lens color and wavelength requirements for the target application. Cross-reference the package dimensions with the PCB footprint design to guarantee mechanical fitment during assembly.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile red indicator is required within a standard PLCC-2 footprint. The non-diffused lens provides high directionality, making it appropriate for applications requiring focused visibility or optical coupling. Consider the 120-degree viewing angle and 9mcd intensity to ensure adequate visibility for the intended environment.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay VLMx31 series, which comprises standard single-color SMD LEDs. The series is characterized by its thin profile and compatibility with IR reflow, vapor phase, and wave soldering processes according to CECC 00802 standards. These components are widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control panels.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay VLMx31 variants such as VLMS31J1L2-GS08, provided the electrical parameters and pinout configuration remain compatible with the existing circuit design.
