Tiny SM relays save almost half the PCB
space
Omron claims its latest surface-mount relay has the industry's smallest footprint, occupying just 55% of the board space of existing models.
Omron claims its latest surface-mount relay has the industry's smallest footprint, occupying just 55% of the board space of existing models The double-pole relay is ideal for high density switching arrays and space critical applications - especially in its energy-saving single-winding form, which reduces power consumption and hence heat emitted by over 30%

Telecomms relays offer compact compliance
New compact telecomms relays from Omron enable high density mounting by reducing the mounting area of the surface mount package by up to 56% compared with comparable devices.
The new Omron G6J occupies a board area of just 4.8 x 10.3 x 9mm, which gives it the industry's smallest board space for its type.
It conforms to North American Telcordia (formerly Bellcore) FCC part 68 specifications in terms of dielectric strength and impulse withstand voltage, opening up applications in telecomms switching equipment, PABXs and modems.
In addition to the highly compact surface-mount short-terminal version, Omron is offering the G6J with longer surface-mount terminals, to simplify board assembly, and in through-hole form.
All three styles are available as single-side stable or energy saving single-winding latching relays.
The latter style consumes typically only 100mW, as opposed to 140mW for the single-side stable equivalent.
The G6J is available with coils rated at 3-12V, with a 24V version being offered in single-side stable form only.
