Overview

The G2RL-1-E-CF DC12 is a high-capacity power relay from Omron, designed for robust switching of loads up to 16A at 250VAC. This single-pole double-throw (SPDT) relay features a 12VDC coil and is built with Class F insulation to withstand elevated temperatures. Its compact through-hole package makes it ideal for power management on PCB designs requiring high isolation and reliable performance.

Why Choose This Part

This relay provides a high switching capacity of 16A in a low-profile 12.7mm width, optimizing board space. It is rated for operation in temperatures up to 105 degrees Celsius and features a fast 15ms operate time for responsive control.

Applications

Home Appliances
Ideal for controlling heating elements, cooling fans, and motors in washing machines or refrigerators.
HVAC Systems
Used for switching compressors and ventilation fans in smart thermostats and climate control units.
Industrial Automation
Suitable for output switching in PLC modules and machinery control circuits requiring up to 16A.
Power Supplies
Effective as a safety disconnect or main power switch in AC-DC converters and UPS systems.

Getting Started

When integrating this relay, ensure the PCB traces are sized to handle the 16A load to prevent overheating. Include a flyback diode across the 12VDC coil pins to protect driving transistors from inductive spikes. For prototyping, this component fits standard 0.1 inch pitch grids but requires specific footprints for the high-current power terminals.
