MOSFET relays conform to SOP4 format
Omron Electronic Components Europe has expanded its MOSFET relay G3VM series offering increased sensitivity and higher dielectric strength capability. The G3VM-61VY4 extends the 60V SOP4 relay up to 0.7A continuous load current with 3750Vrms dielectric strength. Omron has also released the 350V G3VM-35VY1 which increases continuous load to 110mA with 3750Vrms dielectric strength between I/O.
The new Omron relays conform to SOP4 special format, measuring 3.7 x 7.0mm and a height of 2.1mm. They share the same mounting pad footprint as that used for existing SOP4 relays.
The high dielectric strength of the new models supports any applications requiring high isolation between I/O. The high-sensitivity G3VM-61VY4 and G3VM-351VY1 are especially suitable for sensor applications, for example transferring sensor signals and output signal switching from control units in security solutions.
Omron’s MOSFET relays are based on optical semiconductor technology, using an input LED, with a photo diode dome array (PDA) used as a photocoupler and MOSFET chip in the load switching current. In addition to being maintenance-free, the MOSFET relay features high speed operation and a compact size, to replace mechanical relays.
Both new models will provide further lowering of power consumption during switch-on, claimed Omron, as well as reducing input current by one third during operation. Omron’s MOSFET relays contribute to smaller and denser equipment than equivalent mechanical devices. Compared to reed relays, power consumption on the input is exceptionally low, further contributing to energy-saving equipment, added the company.
The G3VM-61VY4 and G3VM-351VY1 relays are available now.
On 1 April 2022, Omron announced that its Electromechanical Components (EMC) division was renamed as Omron Device and Module Solutions (DMS).
