VLMS20H2L1-GS08 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VLMS20H2L1-GS08 is a red 630nm LED indication component manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. This surface mount MiniLED operates at 1.8V forward voltage with a 2mA test current and delivers 9mcd luminous intensity. The component is actively produced and maintains full RoHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance can be maintained across the specified parameter set.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VLMS20H2L1-GS08 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Wavelength - Dominant: 630nm
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Typ): 1.8V
• Current - Test: 2mA
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, J-Lead
• Size / Dimension: 2.20mm L x 1.40mm W
• Height (Max): 1.40mm
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Lens Style: Rectangle with Flat Top
• Lens Size: 1.50mm x 0.90mm
• Lens Transparency: Clear
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 2A (4 Weeks)

The VLMS20J2L1-GS08 meets all substitution criteria. Variations in millicandela rating (9mcd vs. 10mcd) remain within acceptable tolerance for indication applications where the dominant wavelength, forward voltage, test current, and mechanical form factor are preserved.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VLMS20H2L1-GS08 and VLMS20J2L1-GS08 are active products with identical regulatory compliance profiles. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The components share identical electrical characteristics (1.8V forward voltage, 2mA test current, 630nm dominant wavelength) and mechanical specifications (2-SMD J-Lead package, 2.20mm x 1.40mm x 1.40mm maximum height). Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and application-specific luminous intensity requirements. The VLMS20J2L1-GS08 provides 10mcd output compared to 9mcd for the VLMS20H2L1-GS08, representing a 1mcd difference suitable for indication applications where forward voltage and wavelength consistency are primary design constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VLMS20J2L1-GS08 replace VLMS20H2L1-GS08 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical forward voltage (1.8V), test current (2mA), dominant wavelength (630nm), viewing angle (120°), and mechanical form factor (2-SMD J-Lead, 2.20mm x 1.40mm x 1.40mm). The 1mcd difference in luminous intensity does not affect circuit compatibility or PCB layout requirements.

Q: Are there package compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both parts use identical 2-SMD J-Lead packaging with matching dimensions and height specifications. PCB footprints and reflow profiles remain unchanged.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both VLMS20H2L1-GS08 and VLMS20J2L1-GS08 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical moisture sensitivity levels (2A, 4 Weeks).

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: The VLMS20J2L1-GS08 delivers 10mcd luminous intensity compared to 9mcd for the VLMS20H2L1-GS08. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are both parts actively manufactured?

A: Yes. Both components maintain active product status with Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division.
