Overview

The G2R-1-E DC12 is a high-capacity power relay designed for heavy-duty switching on printed circuit boards. It features a SPDT (1 Form C) contact configuration capable of handling currents up to 16A at 12VDC coil voltage. This through-hole component is recognized for its reliability in industrial and consumer electronics due to its flux-protection seal rating.

Why Choose This Part

The relay offers a high 16A switching capacity in a compact footprint and provides 5kV dielectric strength between coil and contacts. Its non-latching design ensures safety by returning to a known state upon power loss, while its 15ms operate time allows for responsive control.

Applications

Appliance Control
Switching high-current heating elements or motor loads in washing machines, dishwashers, and ovens.
Industrial Automation
Used as an output interface for PLCs to drive actuators, solenoids, or larger contactors.
Smart Home Hubs
Integrating high-power AC or DC switching into smart lighting controllers and HVAC thermostats.

Getting Started

To drive this relay, use a transistor or MOSFET as a low-side switch with a 12VDC supply. Ensure a flyback diode is placed in parallel with the coil to protect the driver from inductive spikes during the 5ms release phase. Verify the PCB trace width is sufficient to handle the maximum 16A load current.

Also Consider

G2R-1-DC12 Omron Electronics - Standard version for applications that only require 10A switching instead of the 16A high-capacity rating.
RT314012 TE Connectivity - A common alternative with a similar 16A rating and SPDT configuration for power switching.
G5Q-14 DC12 Omron Electronics - A smaller footprint option if current requirements are lower (10A max) and space is a priority.
