![Can power consumption be reduced by increasing sensitivity?](/eu-en/sites/components.omron.com.eu/files/2023-05/onboard_268_1_01_en.png)
![Environmental Responsiveness](/eu-en/sites/components.omron.com.eu/files/2023-05/onboard_icon_2_18_en.png)
The most effective way to reduce power consumption is to choose highly sensitive electronic components.
Low power consumption is becoming increasingly valuable as companies' efforts to address climate change is gaining more attention. There are various design methods to reduce power consumption in the development of new products. If the selection of electronic components directly leads to the realization of low power consumption, it will not only reduce the design burden but also contribute to the expansion of functionality.
OMRON offers a wide range of electronic components that realize low power consumption by increasing sensitivity. Helping customers realize low power consumption of their products easily and conveniently.
Power relay
High sensitivity enables operation with "less power"
![Optimized coil design](/eu-en/sites/components.omron.com.eu/files/2023-05/onboard_268_1_03_en.png)
![G5V-2 => G5V-2-H1:Operates with less power (70% reduction)](/eu-en/sites/components.omron.com.eu/files/2023-05/onboard_268_1_04_en.png)
Up to 70% reduction in power consumption of the reference product*1
*1. Value obtained by comparing the power consumption of the high-sensitivity product and the reference product with the same rated voltage.
MOS FET relay
High sensitivity enables operation even with "low-light intensity"
