| 50% Smallest and Lightest High Capacity DC Power Relay |
OMRON Corporation announced the release on of the G9EN DC power relay, the world's smallest and lightest high capacity DC power relay of its class . The relay is 50% smaller and lighter than Omron's previous comparable relays thanks to the use of newly developed proprietary sealing technologies and new magnetic control methods.
With the global expansion of the market for environmentally-friendly clean energy vehicles such as hybrid and fuel-cell cars, there is quickly growing demand for mileage extension and new high-capacity battery DC load control technologies. Omron has been working over the last decade to meet the needs of clean energy car manufacturers for greater circuit design flexibility and components that enable down-sizing and weight reduction of onboard electrical equipment. With the G9EN (60A), Omron is taking down-sizing and weight reduction to the next level, and the company is also preparing for the release of other advanced new products including a 150A main relay, and an air-break switch pre-charge relay .
Features of the G9EN DC power relay
- 50% reduction in volume (28x40x50mm) and weight (140g) compared with previous Omron models in the same product class.
- Non-polarized contact circuit (contact terminal) (the first model in this class to feature this). This contributes not only to device downsizing and weight-reduction, but also makes wiring and mounting much simpler.
Main applications
- Main relays and pre-charge relays for vehicles with high voltage batteries such as hybrid and electric vehicles (in BDUs - Battery Disconnect Units).
- Chargers, feeders, and accessories for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid cars.
- Feeder circuits and condensers for fuel cell cogeneration systems and solar power systems
- Industrial equipment (elevators, industrial robots, testing devices, etc.)
Technical information
Air-tight seal construction
DC power relays enclose pressurized gas which enables them to hinder arc formation (*4) by cooling. Typically, a ceramic housing is used to keep the pressurized gas sealed in, but Omron has achieved down-sizing and weight reduction of the relay body by changing the ceramic sealing construction from a conventional box-shaped ceramic case to a combination of ceramic plating and metal casing.
This makes it possible to maintain or increase the interior volume of the air-tight space of the main contact circuit (main terminal) structure compared with existing comparable products.
(*4) An arc is a type of discharge which occurs in a gas between electric poles with low voltage and high current. Arcing damages contacts and worsens the interruption characteristics by creating a temporary current flow between contacts resulting in considerable localized heating.
New magnetic control and arc extinguishing methods
Omron has designed the layout, spacing, and shape of the switching circuit and the permanent magnet circuit specifically to extinguish the arcing which occurs during DC load interruption across narrow contact gaps.
This enables high-speed arc interruption regardless of current direction, and has resulted in a non-polarized main contact circuit (main terminal) which up till now has been difficult to achieve with direct-current type relays using arc interruption via magnetic blow-out.
This non-polarization means the device is suitable for use in applications requiring two-way current flow. It also means it is not necessary to consider the mounting direction or the orientation of the device, making wiring and mounting much easier, and reducing the risk of incorrect wiring.
