VLMY31J2K2-GS08

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The VLMY31J2K2-GS08 is a single-color yellow LED from Vishay’s VLMx series, housed in a PLCC-2 surface-mount package. It emits at a peak wavelength of 588 nm with a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The component features a clear, non-diffused round flat lens measuring 2.4 mm in diameter. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a forward current rating of 10 mA, with a power dissipation limit of 100 mW. Physical dimensions are 3.0 mm in length, 2.8 mm in width, and up to 1.85 mm in height. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +100°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Yellow emission with 120-degree viewing angle for broad visibility
• Clear non-diffused lens design for focused light output
• Standard PLCC-2 SMD package for automated assembly compatibility

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Instrumentation status displays
• Control board signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GS08 against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm active status or obsolescence. Cross-reference the exact part number with authorized distributors to ensure authenticity. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements match project specifications. Validate that the PLCC-2 footprint aligns with the intended PCB layout before finalizing procurement orders.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard yellow indication is required in a compact surface-mount form factor. The 120-degree viewing angle suits applications needing wide-angle visibility. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 2.1 V forward voltage drop. Consider the 100 mW power rating for thermal management in dense assemblies.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This device belongs to the Vishay VLMx family of single-color LEDs designed for general indication purposes. The PLCC-2 package provides a robust mechanical solution for high-volume manufacturing. The yellow color variant offers high visibility against common panel backgrounds. The series supports standard reflow soldering processes compatible with modern electronics production lines.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

VLMY3101-GS08 is listed as a parametric equivalent substitute. Verify electrical parameters and physical dimensions before substitution. Check for any changes in lens transparency or mounting tolerances. Confirm availability status for both original and replacement parts.
