Omron Electronic Components Europe has achieved the tough, new ISO/TS16949:2002 automotive supply chain standard for the supply of the G6S and other signal relays. These relays are sourced from Omron Relay and Devices Corporation in Kumamoto Japan, and the ISO/TS16949:2002 management system certificate validates their processes for the design, development and manufacture of signal relays. ISO/TS16949:2002 is a recently launched harmonised international standard for the automotive supply chain.

Commenting, Nigel Blakeway, Chief Operating Office for Omron Electronic Components Business Europe, said: ‘Our certificate validates to our growing automotive customer base that Omron is a quality supplier of signal relays’.

‘The G6S-series, for example, is already widely used in telecom applications and is now being increasingly used in the advanced electronics for automotive applications’.

The Omron G6S relay’s 2.5kV surge voltage capability, combined with its miniature 15 x 7.5 x 9.4mm dimensions, has attracted significant interest from the automotive as well as the telecomms industry.

Available in surface mount and through hole form, the DPDT relay is fully sealed and draws just 140mW.
