Omron unveils compact MOSFET relay

Omron Electronic Components Europe has launched the G3VM – PSON, a compact MOSFET relay with high current capacity for industrial and test applications.

The relay provides high continuous load current, low leakage and small packing and lends itself to new applications in data loggers, communication devices and test equipment.

The G3VM is available in three versions in an industry standard PSON package with load voltages of 30V (G3VM-31WR), 60V (G3VM-61WR) and 100V (G3VM-101WR), offering a continuous load current of 4.5A, 3A and 2A respectively.

All feature a low on-resistance, which is 50mOhm – 200mOhm depending on the version.

The higher current in a small package of only 3.4 x 2.1 x 1.3mm helps designers achieve a compact overall board layout.

The relay boasts a high dielectric strength of 500VAC between the input and the output, and has a leakage current of 1000nA when open. In addition, the terminal shape is designed to support the creation of a good soldering joint despite the small size of the device, and supports easy solder inspection.

The G3VM – PSON has a range of potential applications. Its ambient operating temperature of -400C to +1100C is intended for demanding industrial environments. Building automation systems and air conditioning will also benefit from the relay.
