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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Typical model name, photo, & detailed information of product | G5PZ | G5RL-U/-K | G3VM-61CR1/FR1 | EE-SX1330-2 Photomicrosensor (transmissive) High-speed response type  （This product is not listed in the catalog. For details, please contact your dealer or OMRON.） | A8GS-T |
| Energy-saving performance | High sensitivity with 530 mW power consumption further reduced to 133 mW at 50% holding voltage | Latching function that operates simply by applying voltage to the coil and maintains that state even when the voltage is cut off, cutting device's coil power consumption | Drive power reduced from 110 mW to 18 mW compared to mechanical relay G6DN-1A (30VDC, 5A) with the same switching capacity | Reduction in lighting time of drive LEDs by 37% | "Reset function" by external signal to turn off the power switch and eliminate standby power of the device |
