Overview

The G3VM-61ER2 is a high-current SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) solid-state MOSFET relay designed for PCB mounting. It features a robust load voltage capacity of 60V and can handle high continuous load currents up to 4A (4000mA) in a compact DIP6 package.

Why Choose This Part

The G3VM-61ER2 provides a significant current-handling advantage of up to 4A, which is rare for standard DIP-size solid-state relays. Because it utilizes MOSFET technology, it offers near-infinite switching cycles without mechanical wear, silent operation, and high-speed response compared to electromechanical alternatives.

Applications

Industrial Equipment Control
Switching solenoid valves, actuators, and small motors in factory automation systems.
Automated Test Equipment (ATE)
High-speed, high-cycle signal and power switching in semiconductor testing rigs.
Security Systems
Silent, reliable switching for alarm sirens or electronic lock mechanisms.
Power Supply Management
Input/output isolation and bypass switching in distributed power architectures.

Getting Started

To drive the input, treat the control side as an LED; use a current-limiting resistor to ensure the forward current stays within the recommended operating range (typically 5mA to 25mA). Ensure the PCB layout includes sufficient copper area around the load pins to manage thermal dissipation when operating near the 4A maximum current limit.
