New MOSFET relays from Omron solve low-power sensing challenges

Equipment designers dealing with tight space constraints or low-strength signals in sensing applications can now look to overcome these challenges by using new G3VM MOSFET relays from Omron Electronic Components Europe. The two families being added to the Omron G3VM line-up are a range of tiny VSON devices measuring 2.45mm x 1.45mm x 1.30mm, and ultra-sensitive relays that can be triggered by a signal of just 0.2mA.
