VLMY2000-GS08

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The VLMY2000-GS08 is a yellow surface-mount LED from Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division, designed for discrete indication applications. It features a clear lens and operates at a forward voltage of 1.8V with a peak wavelength of 588nm. The component utilizes a 2-SMD J-lead package, measuring 2.20mm in length and 1.40mm in width, with a maximum height of 1.40mm. It offers a viewing angle of 120 degrees and emits light with an intensity of 7.1mcd at a test current of 10mA. The device complies with RoHS3 standards and carries an MSL rating of 2A.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Yellow emission with clear non-diffused lens for direct visibility
• Compact 2-SMD J-lead form factor suitable for space-constrained designs
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle for broad indicator coverage

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication on electronic control boards
• Power state signaling in consumer devices
• Operational feedback in industrial instrumentation

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GS08 against the latest manufacturer datasheet to confirm material composition and lead-free status. Ensure that the 2-SMD J-lead footprint matches the target PCB layout dimensions precisely. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during assembly to prevent package damage. Cross-reference the peak wavelength specification with optical system requirements for accurate color matching.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact yellow indicator with a wide viewing angle is required. The low forward voltage supports efficient power management in battery-operated systems. The standard configuration suits general-purpose signaling where high-intensity diffusion is not necessary. Evaluate thermal constraints as the small package size limits heat dissipation capabilities compared to larger through-hole alternatives.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the MiniLED series from Vishay, characterized by small footprints and standardized SMD packages. It complements other colors in the VLMx20xx family, such as red (VLMS20H2L1-GS08) and white (VLMW2100-GS08), providing design flexibility for multi-color status displays while maintaining consistent mechanical mounting profiles across the product line.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

VLMS20H2L1-GS08 serves as a parameter-equivalent substitute within the same manufacturer portfolio, offering similar mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics for alternative color requirements.
