DS1E-M-DC5V
Overview
The DS1E-M-DC5V is a high-sensitivity miniature signal relay from Panasonic, featuring a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) contact configuration. It is housed in a compact DIP package that is compatible with standard 14-pin IC sockets, making it an ideal choice for dense PCB layouts and automated assembly. With a 5VDC coil and 2A contact rating, it provides reliable switching for both low-level signals and moderate power loads up to 60W or 125VA.
Why Choose This Part
This relay features bifurcated contacts as standard to ensure high contact reliability even at low signal levels. Its fully sealed construction allows for automatic wave soldering and cleaning processes, while the 1,500V FCC surge breakdown voltage between open contacts provides robust protection against transients.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
When integrating this relay, ensure the driving circuit can sink the 80mA coil current, typically requiring a BJT or MOSFET driver with a flyback diode. The 15mm by 9.9mm footprint fits into standard 2.54mm pitch grids, allowing for easy prototyping on perforated boards or 14-pin IC sockets. Use a 5VDC regulated power supply to maintain the coil voltage within the specified 3.5V to 7.5V range for reliable operation.
