OMRON unveils global release of G9KA High-Power PCB Relay

KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 -- OMRON Corporation based in Kyoto, Japan, has announced the global release of the G9KA High-Power PCB Relay on July 1.

This product improves the power generation efficiency of PV generation systems by minimising energy loss caused by heat generated by power conditioners, power supply equipment, and related equipment used in solar power generation systems.

The industry-leading ultra-low contact resistance of 0.2milliohm suppresses heat generated by the relay and improves the power generation efficiency of solar power generation systems, thereby accelerating renewable energy deployment and contributing to realising a decarbonised society.

According to a statement, the G9KA can reduce the temperature rise of the relay about 30 per cent -- compared with conventional high-power relays -- by lowering the contact resistance to the industry-leading 0.2milliohm.

This product helps to reduce the size and weight of equipment by simplifying the heatsink and cooling fan installed as a countermeasure against heat generation.

In addition, suppressing the heat generated by the relay leads to a reduction in the temperature rise of the PC board, thereby contributing to the longevity of equipment.

OMRON will continue to contribute to the realisation of a decarbonised society through its customers' products and services by creating advanced devices and modules based on the technologies it has cultivated over many years and providing them globally.
