VLMY30J2M1-GS08 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VLMY30J2M1-GS08 is a yellow 588nm LED indication component manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. This surface mount device operates at 1.8V forward voltage with a 2mA test current and delivers 14mcd luminous intensity. The component is housed in a 2-SMD, J-Lead package (2-PLCC) with a clear round lens featuring a 120° viewing angle. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production applications. Equivalent substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain optimization, or design flexibility within the same product series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The VLMY30J2M1-GS08 has one parametric equivalent substitute within the VLM.3 series: VLMY30K2M1-GS08. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Color: Yellow
• Wavelength - Dominant: 588nm
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Typ): 1.8V
• Current - Test: 2mA
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, J-Lead
• Supplier Device Package: 2-PLCC
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Lens Size: 2.40mm Dia
• Viewing Angle: 120°

The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The millicandela rating differs between the main part (14mcd) and the substitute (16mcd), representing a variation within the same product family that does not affect functional interchangeability for standard indication applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VLMY30J2M1-GS08 and VLMY30K2M1-GS08 are Active status components with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certification. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and application requirements. The VLMY30K2M1-GS08 offers higher luminous intensity (16mcd versus 14mcd) while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications. Both components satisfy identical regulatory and compliance requirements. The choice between these substitutes does not introduce compliance or certification risks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VLMY30K2M1-GS08 directly replace VLMY30J2M1-GS08 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical forward voltage (1.8V), test current (2mA), package configuration (2-SMD, J-Lead), physical dimensions (3.00mm L x 2.80mm W, 1.85mm height), and mounting type (Surface Mount). The higher millicandela rating of the substitute (16mcd versus 14mcd) does not prevent direct substitution.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Critical parameters include color (Yellow), dominant wavelength (588nm), forward voltage (1.8V), test current (2mA), package type (2-SMD, J-Lead / 2-PLCC), lens size (2.40mm Dia), viewing angle (120°), and mounting type (Surface Mount). Variations outside these parameters disqualify parts from substitution.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (2A, 4 Weeks). Both maintain Active product status.

Q: How does the millicandela difference affect substitution?

A: The VLMY30K2M1-GS08 provides 16mcd compared to 14mcd in the VLMY30J2M1-GS08. This represents increased luminous intensity within the same product family and does not prevent functional interchangeability for indication applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 3.00mm L x 2.80mm W with a maximum height of 1.85mm. Lens size (2.40mm Dia) and lens style (Round with Flat Top) are identical.
