Mouser Electronics announced on the 7th that it is beginning supply of ams OSRAM's 'OSLON Black IR:6 C-Series' automotive LEDs.

The product is designed for in-vehicle applications including driver face and gaze direction detection, occupant monitoring, and child presence detection.

The OSLON Black IR:6 LED reduces the "red glow" phenomenon occurring at the 940nm wavelength by applying chip-level filtering, according to the company.

This ensures that infrared illumination inside the vehicle is not visually perceived by occupants.

Additionally, the company stated that improved uniformity of far-field illumination patterns can enhance infrared sensing performance at the system level.

The OSLON Black IR:6 C-Series (OSLON Black SFH 472xxCS A01) provides design flexibility with various radiation angles and lens options.

The application scope extends beyond existing driver and occupant monitoring to include future-oriented in-vehicle sensing functions such as △emergency medical situation detection △cognitive state monitoring △physical function degradation detection.

Mouser is an electronic components distributor handling over 6.8 million product types from over 1,200 manufacturer brands, supplying products to 223 countries and regions.
