Vishay VLMW41.. LED Datasheet
The VLMW41.. series are high‑efficiency white SMD LEDs in a PLCC‑2 package, intended for camera flash, signal lighting, automotive interior and exterior lighting, and other illumination applications. The device uses InGaN/TAG technology on a sapphire substrate and complies with RoHS and automotive AEC‑Q101 qualifications.
Key data include forward voltage of 3.3‑4.2 V at 20 mA, power dissipation of 84 mW, junction temperature up to 110 °C, and luminous intensity ranging from 112 mcd to 355 mcd depending on the brightness group. The LEDs are supplied on antistatic 8 mm blister tape reels, with recommended dry‑box storage at 10 °C‑30 °C and humidity ≤ 60 % RH.

Questions answered in these manuals
What storage temperature is recommended for VLMW41.. devices?
Dry‑box storage is recommended at 10 °C to 30 °C.
Are the VLMW41.. LEDs lead‑free?
Yes, the devices are lead (Pb)‑free.
What is the maximum forward voltage of the VLMW41.. LED?
The typical forward voltage is between 3.3 V and 4.2 V at a forward current of 20 mA.
How should the devices be stored to avoid moisture damage?
Store the sealed reels at 10 °C‑30 °C with ≤60 % RH; if humidity exceeds 10 % at 23 °C, bake the devices at 40 °C for 192 h or at 60 °C for 96 h before use.
