Three new PCB relays from Omron Electronic Components Europe target automotive and mobility applications where space is tight and high-performance is crucial.

Omron DMS Europe has launched the first product as part of its organisation-wide focus on tackling the challenges of climate change and, specifically, helping to drive the change to net zero emission fuels.

Esports or competitive gaming has grown to a billion-dollar industry – taking computer and console games to a new level. What is little appreciated, however, is the importance of electronic components to the industry. Iker Saenz, Product Marketing Manager – Switches, Omron Electronic Components Europe discusses.

Omron Electronic Components Europe has announced the W7BB-X01 transparent “bash button”, which installs directly into the coverglass of a large display panel to enhance user interaction in casino games and similar applications. The robust, mechanical button is tactile and easy to activate without looking away from the screen.

A MOSFET relay from Omron combines a high current rating (200V 0.35A) and high ambient operating temperature range in a small-sized surface mount format, making it a suitable choice for test and measurement equipment.

Switches from Omron form the basis of a new and highly innovative gaming keypad from Latvian startup Azeron that is setting the gaming world on fire.

Omron Electronic Components Europe has launched PWM controlled versions of three of its most popular power relays offering coil power levels 75 to 90% lower than comparable standard versions.

Omron Electronic Components Europe has launched a new, extremely compact reflective photomicrosensor (PMS) with a sensing distance of three to four millimetres, plugging a gap in the market for an SMD device addressing applications such as 3D printers, mini printers, e-locks and factory automation equipment.

OMRON Industrial Automation Europe has signed a new distribution agreement with OnRobot, the Danish manufacturer of tools for collaborative robot (cobot) applications. This will enable OMRON to offer OnRobot’s products – which can be fully integrated with the OMRON TM cobot – to its customers in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

Omron Electronic Components Europe has announced that Tomonori Morimura has been appointed as its new Chief Operating Officer with full responsibility for the business in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Russia. He commences his role from the beginning of April based in Hoofddorp, the Netherlands.

OMRON Electronic Components Europe has announced a new addition to the B5W series of optical sensors. The new B5W-DB diffuse reflector sensor has a longer sensing distance of 550mm, longer than light convergent resistance sensors of the same size making it well suited for COVID safe user interfaces.

OMRON’s new i4L SCARA is a compact robot which offers strong performance at the lowest total cost of ownership. The i4L delivers quality along with scalability, preventative maintenance, and integration flexibility well above its class.

OMRON Electronic Components Europe has launched the G3VM – PSON, a compact MOSFET relay with high current capacity for industrial and test applications. With a high continuous load current, low leakage and small packing, the new relay lends itself to exciting applications in data loggers, communication devices and test equipment.

OMRON has launched a new E3AS-HL CMOS Laser Sensor with sensing technology that significantly improves detection capability. Reliable detection of difficult-to-detect targets helps eliminate the need for time-consuming installation design and adjustment at equipment commissioning.

OMRON Electronic Components Europe has announced a highly compact 500VDC power relay aimed at the pre-charge circuits in electric vehicle chargers, battery back-up systems for solar panels and other high current DC applications.

OMRON Electronics Components Europe has announced that it is supporting the roll-out of consumer electronics based on the USB-C type of I/O connector with the release of a new long-life, easy to use inspection and test socket.

OMRON has announced the launch of a ‘Robotic Integrated Controller’, the new NJ501-R, based on OMRON’s NJ series of machine controllers for industrial automation. With the integrated controller, it is possible to automate advanced and complex manual work and simulate the design and modification of production facilities in a virtual environment, and conduct maintenance remotely.

OMRON Electronic Components Europe has unveiled a new precision time-of-flight ranging sensor that delivers a convenient, modular solution offering positioning, autonomous-guidance, and proximity sensing for a wide range of applications.
