Omron

Omron’s S8AS2 compact smart power supply combines DC power supply, electronic circuit protection, and real-time monitoring in one panel-mountable unit. Reducing the number of components required in the control cabinet will simplify panel design and wiring, highlights the company. Factory automation and industrial control applications are the main target for the system. S8AS2 features UL Class 2 output compliant, the ...

Omron is expanding its G9EK screw-terminal relay family with the G9EK-1-EX, for 250A/500VDC switching in a compact, gasless design. The high-current relay targets EV charging, renewable energy, and e-mobility applications, says Omron. Note that it expands the safety margin compared to the G9EK-1-E, which is rated for 200A/500VDC. G9EK-1-EX In terms of switching responses, the relay has a 50ms operating ...

Omron is expanding its TM S Series of collaborative robots. There are three new models and an update to the TMflow Software for programming and managing the systems. TM S series The TM30S (pictured, above and right) is a 30kg payload model designed for heavy-duty collaborative tasks, for example, palletising and machine tending. And the expanded range  includes the TM20S, ...

Omron has created a pre-charge relay weighing 36g that can handle at least 100,000 800V switching operations into capacitive loads with in-rush up to 30A, according to component distributor Rutronik, which is handling the part. “Thanks to its contact resistance of 100 mΩ max, the component features low power dissipation,” said Rutronik. “It also provides shock resistance up to 490 ...

Omron has a series of compact PCB mount power relays designed to handle ‘TV-8’ in-rush surges, and they are available with standard coils or two forms of bi-stable coils. Called the G5Q-HR range, they measure 20 x 16 x 10 above the PCB, and all of them have just one set of contacts. The range has been designed to meet ...

Omron has designed a relay that can interrupt 200A at 500V, aiming to displace contactors from dc electric vehicle chargers, batteries and solar inverters. “A proprietary gas-less design cools arcs without the need for any special parts or materials in the manufacturing process, while eliminating the possibility of gas leakage,” according to the company. Gas-less? “G9EA, G9EC, and G9EH relays ...

DigiKey is launching Series 3 of its video sequence on logistics technology called ‘Supply Chain Transformed’. The new set of videos focus on innovative technologies, including IoT, that are driving the logistics industry. The first of three videos in the series, “Optimizing Supply Chain Logistics” is already live on DigiKey’s website. It considers the evolving landscape of supply chain and ...

Omron has launched a high-capacity PCB-mount relay for switching dc in 15 to 40kW household electricity storage systems, bi-directional EV chargers and uninterruptible power systems. G9KB-E is based on the earlier G9KB family, and is the same size and weight (37 x 50mm footprint and 50mm tall), but can switch higher power, up to maximums of 800Vdc or 100A. Envisaged ...

Omron has introduced 400V and 600V 110°C versions of its G3VM photo mos isolated electronic relay family, as well as a 40V 2Ω type in the 1.5 x 2.5 x 1.3mm 4pin VSON package. With G3VM-401xY2 and G3VM-601xY2 base numbers, the 400V (120mAdc, or peak ac, continuous) and 600V (90mA) devices have typical on-resistances of 22 and 45Ω respectively with ...

Omron has created a colour sensor component “which enables monitoring of equipment, plant and industrial processes through detection of small colour changes,” it said. B5WC, as it is called, measures 8.4 x 40 x 15.9mm and detects the colour of objects or liquids 40mm away from its sensing face by reflection from an in-built white LED. Data output over an ...
