We help you create durable devices.

With the recent increase in orders and labor shortages, long-term stable operation of devices is more important than ever.
OMRON contributes to making devices less prone to sudden stoppages and breakdowns by providing electronic mechanical components with high durability and long life.

OMRON's long-life technology and adopted products

01 Toughness

Toughness is achieved through technologies in die design, machining, materials, and assembly that have been cultivated over many years

Tactile Switch B3□-4000 Series Long life of 3 million cycles*1 in a 12 mm square size with good operational feeling made possible through materials and processing technology for the dome contact Application example: Machine tool command input, vending machine Click here for more information
Power Relay G6DN Industry's highest*2 electrical durability of more than 100,000 cycles*3 with large contacts on a tiny card relay Application example: Industrial equipment I/O unit Click here for more information
Testing Socket for Devices with USB Type C Connectors XP2U-001 200,000 cycles of attaching and detaching with our original electro-casting technology Application example: Inspection of USB Type-C devices Click here for more information

02 No mechanism

Replacing mechanical contacts with semiconductor eliminates wear and tear and supports high-speed and high-frequency switching

MOS FET Relay G3VM Series Application example: Semiconductor inspection machine Click here for more information
MOS FET Relay Module G3VM-MT Series Application example: Semiconductor inspection machine Click here for more information
Photomicrosensor EE-SX Series Application example: Mounter analytical equipment Click here for more information

03 Heat measures

Heat dissipation and heat suppression design technology reduces thermal stress

High-Capacity Power Relay G9KA Contact resistance of 0.2 mΩ to suppress heat generation Application example: Solar power generation system Click here for more information
3D TOF Sensor Module B5L Long life equivalent to 5 years of continuous operation made possible with OMRON's unique circuit design and heat emission design (Based on OMRON's evaluation method*4) Application example: AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot), monitoring device Click here for more information
