KEY INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

• In February 2024, Toshiba Electronics Europe announced the availability of two more -60 V P-channel MOSFETs based on the company's U-MOS VI process. The devices are designed for use in the automotive industry, such as load switches, solid-state relays, and motor motors. The new XPH8R316MC and XPH13016MC are already qualified to meet the AEC-Q101 automotive reliability standard. As part of this, they are housed in the SOP Advance (WF) package, a surface mount style with a wettable side termination design. This facilitates automatic optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints, which is critical to reliability in harsh automotive environments. An additional benefit is the package's copper connectivity, which reduces package resistance, improves efficiency, and reduces heat.

• In January 2024, Omron Electronic Components Europe expanded its range of MOSFET relays to offer higher operating temperatures and improved power in a high current six-pole DIP style. Omron has expanded its 60V DIP6 MOSFET relay range with the introduction of the G3VM-63BR and G3VM-63ER models. These relays can withstand up to 0.7A continuous load current and are designed to operate at high temperatures up to 110°C.

OMRON's long-life MOSFET relays are pioneers in the field of optical semiconductor technology, offering fast operation and small size. This allows them to overcome the limitations normally associated with mechanical relays. The company's latest MOSFET relays operate in the temperature range from -40 to 110 °C. These relays are able to significantly reduce the size of the devices and increase the density compared to similar mechanical devices. The input current consumption is much lower than all electromechanical relays, especially reed relays, which further improves the energy-saving ability of the devices.
