The new G3PE industrial solid state relay and successor to Omron’s popular G3PB series of compact, slim-profile solid state relays, offers improved endurance and reliability characteristics compared with previous solid state relays. Key to the G3PE’s robustness is its increased resistance to surge voltages; using an original surge-pass circuit that gives it outstanding surge endurance and protects it against voltages in excess of 30 kV.
The basis for the G3PE’s superior all-round performance is the DBC (direct bonded copper) substrate, which yields a super-thin base, eliminating the thick, heavy copper bases achieved previously. This not only results in fewer layers and excellent electrical insulation, it also achieves lower thermal resistance values and because the expansion coefficient matches silicon, much better power cycling capabilities (up to 50 000 cycles).
The G3PE is suitable for a wide range of applications, especially those in the areas of moulding, packaging and food processing, where reliability is essential for process continuity and therefore productivity.
