G5LE-1-E DC5
Overview
The G5LE-1-E DC5 is a subminiature SPDT (1 Form C) power relay from Omron designed for high-capacity switching up to 16A at 250VAC. It features a 5VDC non-latching coil with a power consumption of approximately 400mW, making it suitable for logic-level control via a driver circuit. This through-hole relay is flux-protected and rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -40C to 85C.
Why Choose This Part
The E-series variant offers enhanced switching capacity up to 16A, significantly higher than standard general-purpose relays of this footprint. It maintains a compact subminiature size while providing 10ms operate and 5ms release times for responsive switching.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To drive this relay from a microcontroller, use a NPN transistor or MOSFET as a low-side switch with a 1N4148 or 1N4007 flyback diode across the coil to protect against inductive spikes. Ensure the 5V rail can provide the required 79.4 mA coil current during activation.
