ams OSRAM LED devices for automotive exterior lighting
Mouser Electronics is now stocking
the OSLON Black Flat X LED devices
from ams OSRAM. Designed for forward lighting applications, including
headlamps, night vision, and laser
devices, the OSLON LED devices offer
high efficiency and excellent thermal
conditions.
The OSLON Black Flat X LED series
of devices have a high focus on system cost, making them a durable, cost-
effective option for a wide range of
lighting solutions.
The 3-chip version (KW3 HNL631.
TK LEDs) is a high-performance LED
offering 1350 lumens at 1A. They
deliver exceptional thermal performance, allowing for smaller heatsinks.
They have an extremely high contrast
1:200 design as a result of black case
material and TiO2 casting.
The 4-chip version (KW4 HPL631.
TK) is an ideal replacement for halogen lamps. Offering up to 2115lm
at 1A, they are suitable for a range
of automotive functions, including
headlamps and low-beam and highbeam applications. The devices are
housed in a 7.59mm × 3.75mm ×
0.5mm package.
The 5-chip version (KW5 HQL631.
TK) is the most efficient lead-frame
device in the OSLON series, delivering exceptional performance in automotive exterior applications, including halogen replacement. The high-
efficiency LEDs offer up to 2140lm at
1A, and boast an operating temperature range of -40°C to +135°C.

The results from element14’s Women in Engineering survey
element14 launched the second
annual Global Women in Engineering
survey in June 2022 to help shed light
on women’s experiences, career paths,
wider challenges and opportunities in
the engineering/electronics industry.
The global survey is designed to gain
direct insight from all members of the
industry to understand current barriers to achieving equality and how to
diminish discriminatory practices in
the workforce. Key insights from the
survey included:
• 70% of survey respondents said
they would intervene when seeing
discrimination. However, the seniority of the person exhibiting discriminating behaviour was cited as the biggest obstacle to intervention. A small
percentage believed they would not
intervene because it is part of their
company’s culture.
• Women expressed the belief that
they were perceived to be less technically capable than men, but this view
was not supported by male respondents.
• Men cited that woman “missing
out on career development opportunities” was an issue.
• 25% of survey respondents said
they have never experienced sexism
in the industry.
• Other discrimination challenges
cited some women as obstructing other

women in their career progression,
although the barrier was not as great as
that presented by men. Self-promotion
by women was highlighted as a key
issue in this year’s survey.
• Genders think similarly about
how to address work/life balance.
With regards to pay 12% of men are
less likely to say they have seen pay
differentials, compared to over 40%
of female respondents.
• Views were similar on the enforcement of policies. However, there was
an overall decrease in enthusiasm for
inclusion and diversity initiatives.
• More than half of the respondents
said providing mentorship and development opportunities to women was
important. More than 75% of women
felt mentorship helped them in their
careers.
element14’s eight-week global survey was open to everyone working in
the electronics/engineering industry.
75% of this year’s survey respondents
were from Europe and North America. There was an even distribution of
ages, particularly from 25 to 54 years
old (at 74%), and 57% of respondents
had more than 10 years of experience.

Drop-in replacement for crystal oscillators
Directly replace traditional quartz
crystal oscillators in your most challenging designs with our robust,
high-performance DSC1500 family of
MEMS oscillators.
The DSC1500 family delivers reliability and ruggedness in a small form
factor that is ideal for industrial and
portable applications. As a direct
drop-in replacement for crystal oscillators, these devices also offer excellent
jitter and stability with substantially
lower power consumption.
The DSC1500 family of MEMS
Australia's electronics magazine
oscillators strikes a unique balance
of jitter performance, size and power
consumption: 1ps RMS phase jitter
with 20mW of power in a 2.0 × 1.6
millimetre package.
