Vishay Semiconductors VLMD31 series SMD LEDs feature exceptional brightness and reliability, and are widely used in automotive, communication, lighting and office equipment applications.
The VLMD31 series are surface‑mount LEDs supplied in a PLCC‑2 package. The device is designed for applications requiring narrow brightness and color selection and is compatible with automatic placement equipment and standard reflow processes. Typical applications include automotive dashboard backlighting, telecommunication indicators, audio/video equipment, office equipment, and LCD backlighting.
The datasheet lists absolute maximum ratings, optical and electrical parameters, luminous intensity classifications, package dimensions, and recommended handling, storage, and soldering profiles. It also includes packaging details, moisture‑sensitive handling instructions, ESD precautions, and regulatory compliance information.
| Package type | PLCC‑2 |
|---|---|
| Maximum reverse voltage | 6 V |
| Power dissipation | 100 mW |
| Junction temperature | 100 °C |
| Operating temperature range | -40 °C to +100 °C |
