Overview

The G2RL-1A-E-CF DC12 is a high-capacity, low-profile power relay capable of switching up to 16 A at 440 VAC. This single-pole single-throw (SPST-NO) component is designed for through-hole PCB mounting and features flux protection to withstand soldering processes. It is rated for operation in high-temperature environments up to 105 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for demanding thermal conditions.

Why Choose This Part

This relay offers a high switching capacity of 16 A within a compact 15.7 mm height, ideal for space-constrained power boards. Its Class F insulation system and 105 degrees Celsius rating provide long-term reliability in high-temperature appliance environments.

Applications

Home Appliances
Switching high-current heating elements or motors in washing machines, dryers, and ovens.
HVAC Controls
Controlling compressors, fans, and pumps within residential and commercial climate control systems.
Industrial Power Supplies
Implementing soft-start circuits or output disconnects in robust power delivery systems.
Smart Lighting Systems
Managing high-wattage LED driver banks or discharge lighting in building automation.

Getting Started

To integrate this relay, ensure the PCB trace widths are sized to handle the 16 A maximum load. A flyback diode (such as a 1N4007) must be placed across the 12 VDC coil terminals to protect the driving transistor from voltage spikes during de-energization.
