Overview

The G2RL-2A-DC12 is a 2-pole, DPST-NO (Double Pole Single Throw, Normally Open) power relay designed for high-current switching in a compact through-hole package. It features a 12VDC coil that draws approximately 33.3mA and is rated for operation in environments ranging from -40C to +85C. This component is ideal for applications requiring simultaneous switching of two independent circuits or phase/neutral isolation.

Why Choose This Part

This relay provides high-capacity switching (up to 8A depending on load type) in a low-profile 15.7mm height package. The DPST-NO configuration allows for simplified PCB layouts when switching both lines of a power circuit or dual independent loads simultaneously.

Applications

Appliance Control
Switching heating elements and motors in domestic white goods where space is limited.
HVAC Systems
Controlling fans and compressors in heating and cooling equipment.
Industrial Automation
Managing power distribution and isolation for industrial actuators and solenoid valves.
Smart Lighting
High-capacity switching for commercial LED drivers and lighting banks.

Getting Started

When designing with this relay, ensure adequate creepage and clearance distances between the high-voltage contacts and the 12VDC coil traces. Use a flyback diode (such as a 1N4007) across the coil pins to protect the driving transistor from inductive voltage spikes during turn-off.
