Omron Introduces High Power PCB Power Relay for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Omron has introduced a new high-capacity printed circuit board (PCB) relay, G9KC, designed specifically for Mode 3 AC electric vehicle (EV) charging stations installed in AC wall boxes. This 480 V AC,40 A, 4-pole high-power relay with low contact resistance offers low heat generation contributing to higher output of EV chargers.

Key features

  • Low initial contact resistance: 6 mΩ max.
  • 4-pole 40 A switching with compact size: W: 35 mm x L: 58 mm x H: 47 mm
  • Contact gap: 3.6 mm min.
  • High short circuit capacity compliant with IEC62955
  • Low coil power consumption: approx. 613 mW with a holding voltage of 35%
  • Auxiliary contact compliant with IEC60947-4-1 mirror contact requirement
