Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VLMW1502-GS08 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Package / Case: 0402 (1005 Metric) surface mount form factor
• Color and Wavelength: White, Cool at 7000K dominant wavelength
• Electrical Characteristics: 2.9V forward voltage (typical) and 5mA test current
• Optical Performance: 126mcd millicandela rating and 65° viewing angle
• Lens Configuration: Diffused transparency with 1.00mm L x 0.50mm W dimensions
• Physical Constraints: Maximum height of 0.45mm
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected status

The VLMW1501-GS08 meets all specified parameters and is classified as a parametric equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the VLMW1501-GS08 be used as a direct replacement for the VLMW1502-GS08?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical characteristics (2.9V forward voltage, 5mA test current), optical performance (126mcd, 65° viewing angle, 7000K cool white), mechanical dimensions (0402 package, 1.00mm x 0.50mm lens, 0.45mm max height), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH unaffected).

Q: Are there any differences in package or mounting between these parts?

A: No. Both components use the 0402 (1005 Metric) surface mount package with identical physical dimensions and mounting type. PCB layout and reflow profiles remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the different inventory levels?

A: The VLMW1501-GS08 has substantially higher stock availability (18374 units) compared to the VLMW1502-GS08 (790 units). This may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications or extended lead time mitigation.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the VLMW1502-GS08 and VLMW1501-GS08 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings of 3 (168 Hours).

Q: Are there any optical or color differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts deliver identical cool white light output at 7000K dominant wavelength with diffused lens transparency, 126mcd brightness, and 65° viewing angle.
