Compact T-modules replace mechanical relays

The modules are in stock at authorised distributor Anglia Components.

Previously mechanical relays would have been the preferred choice for these applications, now there is a viable alternative with the OMRON G3VM T-modules which offer extremely low leakage current.

With a compact size of 5mm x 3.75mm x 2.7mm, the devices are surface mounted and incorporate the T-circuit into the module.

No configuration is required on G3VM T-modules as they are offered in SPST and their electrical load characteristics are 800 mA, 60V for the G3VM-61MT, and 550 mA and 100V for the G3VM-101MT.

In addition, the G3VM-21MT features exceptional isolation performance of less than -30dB, at 1GHz and is rated at 200 mA, 20V.

Utilising a unique T- circuit structure, that sends most leakage current to ground, the G3VM T-modules achieve exceptionally low leakage current of just 1pA or less.

The modules combine the advantages of mechanical and MOSFET relays, to provide an accurate, compact and long-lasting switching solution, with no mechanical contacts.
