G5LE-1-36 DC5
Overview
The G5LE-1-36 DC5 is a subminiature SPDT power relay designed for high-capacity switching in a compact PCB-mount form factor. It operates with a 5VDC coil voltage and is capable of handling switching currents up to 10A, making it suitable for mains-level control in consumer and industrial electronics. This model features flux-protection sealing and AgSnO2 contacts for reliable switching of resistive loads.
Why Choose This Part
The relay offers a high switching capacity of 10A while maintaining a compact footprint of 22.5mm by 16.5mm. With a fast 10ms operate time and 5ms release time, it provides responsive switching for time-sensitive control loops. The non-latching design ensures the system returns to a known safety state upon loss of control power.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To drive this relay from a microcontroller, use a NPN transistor or N-channel MOSFET as a low-side switch to handle the 72mA coil current. Always include a flyback diode (such as a 1N4007) across the coil terminals to protect the driving circuitry from inductive voltage spikes during turn-off. Ensure PCB traces for the contact pins are sized appropriately for the 10A load to prevent excessive heating.
