MOSFET relays shrink into SSOPs
At two-thirds the size of competing alternatives, a new range of ultraminiature MOSFET relays is believed to be the world's smallest with SSOP packaging.
At two-thirds the size of competing alternatives, a new range of ultraminiature mosfet relays is believed to be the world's smallest with SSOP packaging The Omron G3VM-21LR and -41LR are offered in 20 and 40V versions, and higher voltage versions are planned for release later in 2004

Quick-release range of 22mm pushbutton switches
Omron launches new 22mm pushbuttons New from Omron is the easy-connection / quick-release A22 range of 22mm pushbutton switches.
The new, ultraminiature devices have been created using Omron high precision assembly technology, and achieve package dimensions of just 4.2 x 2.0 x 1.8mm including the terminals.
As a result of their exceptionally compact dimensions, the new mosfet relays also offer the lowest CR (capacitance times resistance) product on the market, rendering them highly suitable for fast switching applications.
Omron offers a very extensive range of G3VM mosfet relays, offering favourable operating characteristics, including a low on-resistance, and fast response times.
A key feature of the Omron range is the dual mosfet load circuit, so that an AC or DC load can be connected in either direction without modification to the drive circuit.
This makes them an ideal alternative to reed relays, especially for antimasking security applications as they cannot be compromised by external magnetic influence.
Typical operating time is 0.6ms and release time is 0.1ms.
Operating over the temperature range -40 to +85C, the relays are available in a range of packaging options, on tape and reel if required.
