VLME2300-GS08 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VLME2300-GS08 is a yellow 588nm LED indication component manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division, configured as a discrete 2V 2-SMD J-Lead surface mount device. This MiniLED series component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design requirements and production continuity. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across electrical performance, optical characteristics, and mechanical form factors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VLME2300-GS08 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color specification: Yellow
• Dominant wavelength range: 587–590nm
• Forward voltage: 2V nominal
• Test current: 20mA
• Viewing angle: 120°
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• RoHS3 compliance requirement
• Millicandela rating: Minimum 112mcd

The QBLP675-Y from QT Brightek satisfies all substitution criteria. Both components operate at identical electrical specifications (2V forward voltage, 20mA test current), emit yellow light within the specified wavelength band (587nm dominant vs. 588nm), maintain equivalent viewing angles (120°), and comply with RoHS3 standards. Package form factors differ (2-PLCC vs. 2-SMD J-Lead) but remain compatible within surface mount assembly processes. The QBLP675-Y demonstrates superior luminous intensity (122mcd vs. 112mcd), providing enhanced optical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The QBLP675-Y is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete VLME2300-GS08. Both components maintain identical electrical operating parameters (2V forward voltage, 20mA test current) and optical characteristics (yellow emission, 120° viewing angle, wavelength alignment within 587–590nm range). The QBLP675-Y is currently in active production status, ensuring supply chain continuity and long-term availability.

Both parts satisfy RoHS3 compliance requirements. The QBLP675-Y exhibits a higher moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3 vs. MSL 2A), requiring extended storage protocols. The QBLP675-Y provides superior luminous intensity (122mcd vs. 112mcd), delivering enhanced optical performance without electrical specification changes. Dimensional compatibility is maintained across both components, with the QBLP675-Y offering a marginally reduced height profile (1.30mm vs. 1.40mm).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the QBLP675-Y directly replace the VLME2300-GS08 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components operate at identical electrical specifications (2V forward voltage, 20mA test current) and maintain equivalent optical performance (yellow emission, 120° viewing angle, 587–590nm wavelength range). Package form factor differences (2-PLCC vs. 2-SMD J-Lead) require PCB footprint verification but do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between these components?

A: The primary differences are product status (VLME2300-GS08 is obsolete; QBLP675-Y is active), luminous intensity (112mcd vs. 122mcd), package configuration (2-SMD J-Lead vs. 2-PLCC), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 2A vs. MSL 3). The QBLP675-Y provides enhanced brightness and assured supply availability.

Q: Are there compliance or certification concerns with substitution?

A: Both components comply with RoHS3 standards and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: How do package differences affect assembly?

A: The QBLP675-Y uses a 2-PLCC package versus the VLME2300-GS08's 2-SMD J-Lead configuration. PCB footprint redesign is required. Both packages are surface mount compatible and maintain similar dimensional envelopes (2.00mm L x 1.40mm W vs. 2.20mm L x 1.40mm W).

Q: What is the impact of different moisture sensitivity levels?

A: The QBLP675-Y has MSL 3 (168 hours) compared to the VLME2300-GS08's MSL 2A (4 weeks). This requires stricter moisture control during storage and handling. Extended shelf life protocols must be implemented for the substitute component.
