Omron MOSFET relay minimises leakage for maximum test accuracy


The G3VM-21MT combines the advantages of mechanical and MOSFET relay technology to provide the ultimate test switching solution


In a world first for semiconductor and other test equipment, Omron Electronic Components Europe has created a MOSFET relay module that minimized leakage current.


With a unique T- circuit structure, the Omron G3VM-21MT offers an exceptionally low leakage current of just 1pA (pico-Amp) or less, giving accurate measurements in all types of test equipment. Mechanical relays have previously been preferred in the semiconductor and other test equipment, in part due to their low leakage current. However, mechanical relays have a much lower lifespan due to abrasion of contacts which reduces measurement accuracy over time. In intensive use,

frequent replacement may be necessary pushing up the maintenance costs.


With a ‘T-Type Circuit structure’ that sends most leakage current to ground, the G3VM-21MT effectively combines the advantages of the mechanical and MOSFET relays to provide an accurate, compact and long- lasting switching solution with no mechanical contacts. The compact size of 5mm x 3.75 mm x 2.7mm is achieved by the incorporation of the T-circuit into the module. The device is surface mounted and is offered in SPST with no configuration required. It features an impressive maximum load voltage of 20V and its isolation performance is less than -30dB at 1 GHz.


Omron is planning further T-circuit MOSFET relay modules, including a high current and high voltage model.

Cupio Services offers a comprehensive X-Ray, optical and acoustic non-destructive analysis service for electronic components and assemblies.


Our Nordson Dage Quadra 7 system, with 100nm resolution, full CT and tomosynthesis capability, can image the smallest of structures and our engineers are experienced in the analysis of the images and, if needed, reconstruction into 3D models.


For investigation to die level for bond wires or voiding and delamination in components, we utilise the Nordson Yestech and Nordson Sonoscan systems which can measure bond wire height and check for die contamination using optical measurement and ultrasonics to see inside packages to check for defects and voiding.


Should your issue be with finding counterfeit components within your supply, we also offer both X-Ray and electrical comparison.

New metric recyclable Ecowire launched


AlphaWire Metric Ecowire in stock at Aerco saves space and weight AlphaWire have added a new member to the EcoGen™ family of 100% recyclable wires and cables: Metric EcoWire®


. EcoGen™ products


are the new generation of eco-friendly, high- performance wire and cable designed to provide better performance, in a smaller package. EcoGen™ products contain no halogens, phthalates or heavy metals. Their innovative mPPE insulation and jacket materials allow them to meet RoHS and WEE Requirements for the elimination of hazardous substances and recyclability.


Metric Ecowire is manufactured precisely to sizes that are multiples of 0.25mm2


as opposed


to AWG sizes. In metric applications where size and weight matter, a 600V PVC wire may be overly large and occupy valuable space. Alpha Wire’s 600V Metric EcoWire®


solves this problem


with its more compact size and weight. Up to 45% smaller and 40% lighter, routing and installation is easier while meeting design requirements.


Aerco has invested in a full stock package of all colours and sizes. The standard reel sizes for the Metric EcoWire®

range are 50m, 100m and 500m. Sample lengths for evaluation are also available.


Aerco are fully approved to UL for respooling cable and wire to whatever length required, meaning that full lot traceability is maintained.


The XRCM60 series modules from Bel Power Solutions are suitable for the most cost-sensitive applications and are designed to operate across all standard DC battery voltages, i.e. from 24V through to 110V dc, and provide60 Watts of DC power, ideal for industrial and transportation applications. The


XRCM60has a ‘one-size-fits-all’ input range of 16.8V to 137.5V (continuous)and is designed to the same strict criteria as the established M, Q, P, R, S & K Series modules. The converters are RoHS-compliant and are supplied in a compact, cost-efficient case for use in space-constrained and harsh operating environments .The high-efficiency converters operate across a wide temperature range of-40 to+70°C.The XRCM60 series will be available in the UK from Relec Electronics in March 2020.

Series 04 – versatile. Robust and reliable. Intuitive, ergonomic controls promote safety in rail transport


Intuitive, ergonomic controls promote safety in rail transport – EAO’s versatile Series 04 has proven its value in modern rail vehicles by fulfilling a variety of application requirements and international standards.


Thanks to their modern design, safe and ergonomically friendly operation, and pronounced tactile feedback, the Series 04 has become an established feature of driver desks in particular. The extensive range of Series 04 products offer options in either square or round and standard or flush mount styles.


Typical applications • Driver desks • Control units • Control cabinets


Each Human Machine Interface (HMI) function can be designed precisely to meet the required specification for the given application. For instance, standardised or customised markings in the form of engraved text or symbols provide seamless and intuitive operation. Precision, speed and reliability in operation makes Series 04 suitable for machinery control applications such as control cabinets and main operator panels too.

As a result, there was a slight shift in favour of passive components (12%) and semiconductors (72%) in terms of the percentage share of the overall market. Electromechanics held its 10% share, while all other segments combined to 6%.
