Energy-saving for your devices that can contribute to initiatives for SDGs
The use of low power-consuming components in place of high power-consuming relays, switches, and photomicrosensors in board circuits leads to effective energy savings.
01 Significant reduction in coil power consumption
Coil power consumption can be reduced by up to 75% when used at coil holding voltage after relay operation.
02 Further miniaturization
The same switching capacity with smaller and thinner size than the conventional product, contributing to downsizing of PCB as well.
A large lineup of low power-consumption components in the relay, sensor, and switch categories.
It can be used in energy-saving designs for a variety of devices.
