A global leader in advanced automation, Omron India, a subsidiary of Omron Corporation, has announced new additions in its existing categories of Rocker Switches, FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connectors and Battery Connectors under its Electronic Components business.

"Omron is one of the leading manufacturers and providers of advanced electronic components in the country. By expanding our existing range of high-precision, high-performance components, we strive to widen customer base and deepen penetration across India. The new range has all to help manufacturers across diverse industries to help them give birth to revolutionary products," said Vinod Raphael, country manager- India- Omron Electronic Components.

The Remote Reset Rocker Switch, A8GS is one of the smallest Remote Reset Rocker switches in its size class in the industry and is designed to achieve energy saving, safety and convenience. It is widely used as the main power ON/OFF switch in various applications such as printing devices, FA devices, measuring devices and electronic music instruments.

OMRON Battery connector- With a pitch of 2mm and a depth of 2.6mm, this new battery connecter is the smallest of its kind currently available in the industry.

The XF3M FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connectors feature a rotary backlock mechanism in which a rotary slider for securing the FPC cable is mounted independently from the FPC socket. This results in improved cable connection efficiency and more reliable lock action. The connector has a height of 2.0 mm and a depth of 6.4 mm (when locked).

The new OMRON XF3M utilizes a rotary backlock mechanism in which the rotary latch is located on the opposite side of the socket. This mechanism also enables the socket to be constructed with a four-sided housing that which securely holds the FPC/FFC cable for enhanced mounting reliability.

A sharp "click" on engagement makes it easy to confirm that the latch is completely locked. These features add up to improved work efficiency for cable mounting.

FPC cables are increasingly used to connect LCD panels to printed circuit boards or to connect two printed circuit boards in a wide range of products and equipment, such as industrial equipment, home appliances, printers, LCD TV sets, and mobile devices. This has led to increased demand for connectors applicable for these cables, informed the company in a press release.
