G2RL-1-E DC5
Overview
The G2RL-1-E DC5 is a high-capacity power relay designed for switching loads up to 16A in a low-profile through-hole package. It features an SPDT (1 Form C) contact arrangement and is driven by a 5VDC coil, making it suitable for integration with common 5V logic systems. This relay is engineered with flux protection and meets multiple international safety standards including VDE and UL.
Why Choose This Part
The G2RL-1-E series offers a slim 15.7mm height profile, allowing for compact board stacking in dense enclosures. It provides a high switching capacity of 16A at 5VDC coil excitation, combining power efficiency with high load handling. The component is also rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -40C to 85C, ensuring reliability in harsh industrial environments.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
When designing for this relay, ensure the PCB traces are wide enough to handle the 16A maximum current and include a flyback diode across the 5VDC coil to protect your driving transistor. The coil draws 80mA, so it should be driven via a MOSFET or BJT rather than directly from a microcontroller GPIO. Follow the through-hole footprint layout precisely to maintain clearance and creepage distances required by safety agencies.
