Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VLMPG33N1P2-GS08 be used as a direct replacement for VLMPG33N1P2-GS18?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical parameters (2V forward voltage, 30mA test current, 50mcd brightness), optical specifications (560nm dominant wavelength, 120° viewing angle), and mechanical form factor (2-SMD, J-Lead package, 3.00mm L x 2.80mm W dimensions). They are functionally interchangeable in all applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical moisture sensitivity ratings (2A, 4 Weeks). They meet the same regulatory and environmental standards.

Q: What is the difference between the GS18 and GS08 designations?

A: The GS18 and GS08 designations represent different tape reel configurations or packaging variants from Vishay. The electrical and optical performance of the LED itself is identical between both part numbers.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical package specifications (2-SMD, J-Lead), footprint dimensions (3.00mm L x 2.80mm W), and maximum height (1.85mm). They are pin-compatible and can be used interchangeably without PCB layout modifications.

Q: What is the viewing angle specification, and does it differ between these parts?

A: Both parts have a 120° viewing angle with a round, flat-top lens design. This specification is identical for both the VLMPG33N1P2-GS18 and VLMPG33N1P2-GS08.
