VLMTG1401-GS08

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The VLMTG1401-GS08 is a surface-mount green LED from Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division, designed for discrete indication. It features a 0603 (1608 Metric) package with dimensions of 1.60mm length and 0.80mm width. The device emits light at a dominant wavelength of 525nm with a typical forward voltage of 2.8V at a test current of 20mA. It offers a wide viewing angle of 146 degrees and utilizes a rectangular lens with a flat top.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• High-brightness green emission in a compact 0603 SMD form factor
• Wide 146-degree viewing angle for enhanced visibility
• Standard J-leaded surface mount configuration

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Instrumentation displays
• Consumer electronics signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GS08 against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm compliance with RoHS3 and REACH regulations. Ensure that the ordering code matches the required packaging format, such as tape and reel or cut tape, as specified by the supply chain requirements. Cross-reference the part number alias to avoid procurement errors during sourcing.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-intensity green indicator is required in space-constrained designs. The 0603 footprint allows for dense PCB layouts compared to larger packages. Consider the 146-degree viewing angle for applications requiring broad visibility without precise alignment. Verify thermal management needs based on the 20mA test current rating.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's VLMx series of ChipLEDs, specifically optimized for high brightness in small surface-mount packages. The VLMTG1401-GS08 represents the green variant within the 0603 family, sharing mechanical similarities with other colors like red and blue in the same series while differing in optical output characteristics.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

VLMS1500-GS08 is listed as a parameter-equivalent alternative from the same manufacturer, though it differs in color and package size.
