Reinforced Terminals G2RV incorporates a reinforced QC style terminal avoiding the tendency to bend during replacement. In addition, the larger quick connect surface ensures a more reliable connection between socket and relay. Visible Indication The G2RV relay features two indicators: a mechanical indicator and an LED indicator. This enables efficient and accurate confirmation of both correct relay function and actuation status...

July 2006—Schaumburg, IL USA—Omron Electronic Components LLC announces the availability of the G5LE-E series of power PCB relays that switch a whopping 16AMPS at 250VAC. The industry standard “sugar cube” size (19.6Wx22.5Dx15.2H(mm) and pin-out, means these relays will drop-in to existing PCB layouts. The relays’ coils available in 5, 12, & 24VDC versions have a low power consumption of 360mW and an extended temperature class F insulation...

April, 2006—Schaumburg, IL USA—Omron has introduced new high temperature versions of its D3V miniature unsealed switch designed to withstand temperatures of up to 200ºC in domestic ovens, rotisserie cookers and timers, and other similar applications. Rated at 11A, 6A and 0.1A the new Omron D3V switches use Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) plastic molding material because of its excellent high-temperature performance, inherent flame retardance and chemical resistance...

January 2006—Schaumburg, IL USA—Omron Electronic Components LLC announces the availability of the G5LB and G5LB-25 series of power PCB relays. Measuring just 19.6Wx15.6Dx15.2H(mm) these relays require about 20% less board space and are 20% shorter than conventional “sugar cube” relays. Their small size makes them ideal for clean room filtering devices, freezer controls, and HVAC zone applications. The unique geometry of the switch contacts not only...

January, 2006—Schaumburg, IL USA—Omron Electronic Components LLC announces the availability of a family of sealed snap action switches that are designed to handle the rigors of many transportation applications. Carrying an IP67 rating these switches are mainly used to detect range of motion (limit detect) or the position of an object. All of the switches are 100% inspected for leaks (using a vacuum pump air-leak test). The family includes the D2VW, D2SW, D2HW...
