A webinar will be co-hosted by element14, an Avnet Community, with OMRON to educate its members on the new high-power 200 A printed circuit board (PCB) relay for energy-efficient inverter products. In this webinar, OMRON will present the G9KA PCB relay, which achieves lower heat generation that helps extend end product life for solar photovoltaic (PV) string inverters, online UPSs and other diversified inverter designs. The use of flow soldering will be discussed with respect to mitigating printed wiring board aging risk and benefiting industrial contactor replacement.
The webinar, “PCB Relay Solutions for Energy Management,” will take place on November 16 at 11 a.m. CT.
“With the energy industry working towards self-generated solar power as a primary source of electricity,
Source: Premier Farnell Limited engineers and designers need affordable, reliable products for their energy management solutions,” said Dianne Kibbey, global head of community and social media for element14. “We’re proud to be partnering with OMRON to share this new offering with our community and dive deeper into some of the sustainable energy design options we provide.”
Members of the element14 community can join the webinar to understand more about:
- A detailed understanding of OMRON's power relays
- How the G9KA relay expands design possibilities with ultra-low contact resistance maintained throughout the lifetime of the relay
- The G9KA PCB relay performance in an actual application
- Description of a greater than 200 A reference PCB design
- Reference soldering condition
Attend this webinar to receive a hardcover book on PV/thermal systems (a $165 value) by asking the best questions during the presentation. In addition, following the presentation, there will be a short quiz to test your knowledge. Complete the quiz and watch the presentation either live or on demand to earn a certificate.
The webinar will feature Steve Drumm, strategic marketing manager at OMRON Electronics Components. Drumm provides application support for component and module-based solutions in energy management products, including solar PV inverters, energy storage systems, electric vehicle chargers (AC and DC), fuel cells and smart metering. With a tenure of nearly 30 years at OMROM, he can provide both technical and commercial application guidance for webinar participants.
