Driver: Increasing demand for instrumentation devices
MOSFET relays are mainly utilized in test & measurement/instrumentation devices. Increasingly sophisticated testing and measuring devices are in demand for the electronics, medical, healthcare, and automotive sectors, among others. These complex applications require a high density of assembled components along with high reliability and the utmost accuracy. They are suitable for applications like Automated Test Equipment (ATE), multimeters, semiconductor test boards, oscilloscopes, data loggers, and other measurement instruments. As mentioned earlier for reed relays, as the demand for electronic devices increases, the need for test and measurement instruments will also increase.
According to the statistics shared by the National Investment Promotion & Facilitation Agency (INVEST INDIA), the global electronics market is estimated to be over USD 2 trillion in the next ten years (by 2030). As different industries, including automotive, aerospace & defense, and healthcare, have started adopting electronic devices on a large scale, testing of such devices has also become a prime concern for manufacturers worldwide. Hence, as the demand for electronic devices increases, the need for test and measurement instruments will also increase. This will further boost the demand for reed relays. Furthermore, the advent of advanced communication technologies like 5G and wireless is increasing the demand for testing equipment further.
Restraint: Higher cost and requirement of higher initial investment as compared to EMR
About 70% of end-user industries still use electromechanical relays (EMRs), considering their low cost, reliability, and simple construction. EMR operates on the principle of electromagnetic attraction. In this relay, an electromagnetic field is created as the current passes through the circuit that attracts the nodes and closes the circuit. The working of an EMR is based on mechanical, electrical, and magnetic operations. EMRs are used for functions such as control, automation, and protection of electrical equipment. They are used in applications such as electric fuel pumps, audio amplifiers, lighting control systems, telecommunications, industrial process controllers, motor drive controls, protection systems, HVACs, automobiles, and home appliances.
MOSFET relays exhibit features such as high switching frequency, resistance to shock, long operating life, low noise while operating, small size, and less maintenance. However, the use of MOSFET relays requires the use of heat sinks, which increases their overall cost. The average cost of MOSFET relays is almost double the cost of an EMR. The advanced features of MOSFET relays over EMR come with a higher cost. In the long run, the total ownership of MOSFET relays is beneficial over EMR. However, the high initial investment acts as a restraining factor for the growth of the MOSFET relays market.
Opportunity: Strong growth from enterprises shift towards cloud applications
Cloud-based computing, networking and storage infrastructure, and cloud-native applications are trending in all business verticals. With the growing need for a truly connected world through cloud computing systems, the demand for cloud-based applications is rising. The construction of data centers and deployment of data warehousing are still vital for data storage, computation, and information management.
However, the transfer of data to-and-fro from a centralized data center system is costly and delayed. Thus, the industrial end-users are moving toward cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, IBM Bluemix, and SaaS. The growth trends show the fast deployment of cloud-based applications across end-users. This, in turn, creates opportunities for smart and compact MOSFET relays that can meet the rising power demand for operating such platforms.
Challenge: Robust features and benefits of MOSFET relays
MOSFET relays rely on an electronic circuit to fulfill the desired input and output characteristics. The output of MOSFET relays can be either AC or DC, which is dependent upon the input current rating. The AC load-switching SSRs turn the circuit off when the AC wave passes through the zero point. Similarly, the response time for DC loads is in the millisecond range. MOSFET relays can be made to switch at high frequencies, serving as interfaces for high-speed counting and high-frequency applications. MOSFET relays are an ideal option to be used in harsh environments as they can withstand shocks and vibrations needed to work under erratic and unreliable operating conditions. For instance, an EMR typically has a functional shock resistance of about 50 G and functional vibration resistance of only 20 G, whereas MOSFET relays have a functional shock resistance of up to 500 G and a time duration is 0.5 milliseconds, making it highly resistible.
The typical life expectancy of MOSFET relays is 50 times that of an EMR. The life of an EMR is calculated based on the number of switching cycles, whereas the life of a MOSFET relay is calculated by time-in-operation. The life of MOSFET relays is further increased by the use of a heat sink. The heat sink protects MOSFET relays from overheating and causing a meltdown, thus having a long operating life.

Test & Measurements is the second largest growing segment of the MOSFET relay market
For the spread of microcomputer chips, the latest instruments are required to measure a variety of signals at high speeds under various conditions. MOSFET relays are used for measurement scanning functions, automatic zero-point compensation to eliminate zeropoint error, and measurement sequence interfaces (e.g., alarm interface). They offer a substantial advantage over an electromechanical relay because they significantly reduce the test time in a production environment due to their fast-switching speed. MOSFET relays are used in many parts of the test & measurement market to route high voltage signals and charge/discharge and isolate different parts of test circuits and systems.
Above 1kV voltage rating is the third largest segment by voltage rating in MOSFET relay market
High-voltage MOSFET relays in this segment have a voltage range of up to 7.5 kV. It is specifically designed for high-current applications commonly found in industrial equipment. The relay is a solid-state replacement for single-pole, normally open, electromechanical relays. They are prominent in providing highly efficient performance characteristics in insulation resistance and stand-off voltage.
These types of MOSFET relays feature very high isolation voltages (7.5 kV–10 kV) and high vacuum switches with either rhodium or tungsten contacts. They also have PCB or panel mounting and excellent AC characteristics. Rhodium contact relays have low contact resistance, while tungsten contact relays can switch at higher voltages. These relay applications include cardiac defibrillators, test equipment, and high-voltage power supplies.
This MOSFET relay features high-voltage switching and high-load current. The relay provides a surface mount option when the application requires it. Both configurations are ideally suited to test & measurement, solar, and battery management applications. These relay applications include telecommunications, measuring and testing equipment, industrial controls, automatic meter reading devices, and high-inspection arc-free machines with no snubbing circuits.
