Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VLMK3102-GS08 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Color: Red
• Lens Transparency: Clear
• Lens Style: Round with Flat Top
• Lens Size: 2.40mm Dia
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, J-Lead
• Size / Dimension: 3.00mm L × 2.80mm W
• Height (Max): 1.85mm
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 2A (4 Weeks)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The VLMD31M2P1-GS08 meets all mechanical and compliance requirements. Electrical parameters including forward voltage (1.8V vs. 1.9V), millicandela rating (39mcd), viewing angle (120°), and wavelength characteristics (648nm dominant, 650nm peak vs. 630nm dominant, 643nm peak) fall within acceptable tolerance ranges for red LED indication applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VLMK3102-GS08 and VLMD31M2P1-GS08 maintain active product status and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulations. The substitute part VLMD31M2P1-GS08 carries identical mechanical specifications, moisture sensitivity classification, and environmental certifications. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific wavelength requirements and forward voltage tolerance in the circuit design. Both components are suitable for red LED indication applications requiring surface mount 2-PLCC packaging with 120° viewing angle and 39 millicandela output.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VLMD31M2P1-GS08 be used as a direct replacement for VLMK3102-GS08?

A: Yes, provided the circuit design accommodates the 0.1V forward voltage difference (1.8V vs. 1.9V) and the wavelength shift from 630nm to 648nm dominant wavelength. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, package type, lens specifications, and compliance certifications.

Q: What is the significance of the wavelength difference between these parts?

A: The VLMK3102-GS08 operates at 630nm dominant wavelength, while the VLMD31M2P1-GS08 operates at 648nm. Both are classified as red LEDs. The wavelength difference may affect perceived color intensity and hue in visual indication applications. Circuit performance remains equivalent for standard indication purposes.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use 2-SMD, J-Lead packaging with dimensions of 3.00mm L × 2.80mm W and maximum height of 1.85mm. They are mechanically interchangeable on PCB layouts designed for either part number.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both components carry MSL 2A (4 Weeks) classification, requiring identical storage and handling protocols prior to reflow soldering.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the VLMK3102-GS08 and VLMD31M2P1-GS08 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance regulations.
