G3VM Series
MOS FET Relays
Look at the biggest thing in MOS FET relays
SOLID STATE PERFORMANCE & ACCURACY
SMALLEST SIZE IN THE INDUSTRY
LOWEST POWER REQUIREMENTS
First in Relays
ON Resistance: 1ohm, Output Capacity: 1pF
All from the industry’s smallest MOS FET relays
Omrons G3VM-LR Series MOS FET relays have an ON-Resistance as low
as 1 ohm and an output capacity of 1 pF and even less. This small wonder
gives your equipment greater accuracy, reliability and performance.
Measuring only 2 mm wide, 4.2 mm long and 1.8 mm high, the G3VM-LR
Series gives designers the ability to reduce overall equipment and
instrumentation size. That translates into the luxury of adding more
features and components in the same amount of space. In addition,
Solid State Technology means hundreds of millions of operations.
You're saving money while maintaining equipment specifications.

One bad relay = one bad board
Reduce waste and save money. Circuit boards
covered with relays, such as reed relays, require
replacement if just one relay fails. That’s waste,
which means lost dollars and productivity for end
users. Omron’s G3VM Series MOS FET relays
eliminate the need for such repair operations
allowing you to design equipment that is reliable
and accurate.
60% smaller than reed relays and
still outperforms the competition
The G3VM delivers design flexibility without sacri-
ficing accuracy or performance. Its now possible for
designers to give their products more functionality
and reduce overall machine size.
Omrons MOS FET relays are
perfectly suited for use in:
Automated test equipment
Instrumentation
Medical ultrasound equipment
Automated meter reading
Hospital bed controls
Automotive diagnostic equipment
Communications
Security
100,000 hours and still going
An independent firm ran tests on the only part of the
G3VM that might possibly waver in performance –
the LED chip. They simulated operation for a total
of 100,000 hours (equivalent to more than 11 years!)
and the G3VM was still operating successfully.

Competitors Black
Mold Resin
For maximum performance and accuracy, the G3VM
is cast in white resin, which reflects more light from
the LED chip to the MOS FET driver than black
resin, which absorbs light. White resin also helps the
relay dissipate heat more effectively. This means
relays can be placed closer together on circuit
boards with no worry of overheating, and no loss of
accuracy or function.
For greatest accuracy
it has to be white resin

Low Signal Relays
Get the best reliability, the
lowest power, high surge-
withstand capability, and the
most options in PCB and
SMT packages. Omron has
developed the smallest
electromechanical relays
(EMR) in overall size and the
industry's most efficient and
innovative armature.
Power PCB Relays
Regardless of space
constraints, Omron's power
PCB relays deliver high
capacity power switching
(3-30 A) in a PCB-mounted
component. Our models
