A new addition to the MOSFET relay range from Omron can handle up to 2A, five times the current of existing devices, but is offered in the same compact packaging.

The new Omron G3VM-61CR is rated at 60V, 2A, making it ideal for power supply applications that require low noise switching, yet are also space constrained. In common with other G3VM devices, the new part has a low on-resistance, in this case just 1.2O typical. The G3VM-61CR is offered in a compact 8-pin DIL package, and is also available in surface mount form as the G3VM-61FR. Typical operating time is 5.0ms and release time is 3.0ms.

Like other products in the range, the G3VM-61CR features a 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 attractive alternative to reed relays, especially for anti-masking security applications as they cannot be compromised by external magnetic influence.
