Wide range of MOSFET relays suits diverse applications

TTI Europe now stocks Omron's comprehensive G3VM range of MOSFET relays featuring various packages, different contact forms, switching capacities and functions. Combining the advantages of electromechanical and solid-state technology, the MOSFET relays meet the requirements of many communication equipment, test and measurement, building automation and security, industrial equipment, as well as medical applications. For example ultrasensitive types are ideal for battery driven devices, the high-current models are the choice for industrial equipment, and the low CxR line has been developed for precise transmission of high-frequency signals. the MOSFET relays benefit from low maintenance costs, a small footprint and very low weight, low driving and small leakage current, long operational life, excellent shock resistance, high insulation, and high-speed switching. Utilizing an input LED, a Photodiode Dome Array (PDA) used as photocoupler and a MOSFET chip in the load switching current, the components are an ideal replacement for a mechanical relay. They can displace reed relays as well as relays containing mercury. Omron has also recently expanded the product lineup with the smallest relay on the market to date. New VSON series relays lead the industry in size and performance, with high switching capacity and high sensitivity versions available, says the company.
