G5LE-14-36 DC5
Overview
The G5LE-14-36 DC5 is a subminiature power relay from Omron designed for high-capacity switching in a compact through-hole package. This SPDT (1 Form C) relay features a 5VDC coil and is fully sealed to protect against environmental contaminants and soldering processes. It is a standard solution for switching loads up to 10A in consumer electronics and industrial automation applications.
Why Choose This Part
The relay offers a fully sealed construction that allows for automatic soldering and immersion cleaning. It features a fast operate time of 10 ms and a release time of 5 ms, ensuring responsive switching. With a 72 mA coil current at 5VDC, it is compatible with many transistor-driven control circuits while providing robust SPDT contact configuration.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To drive this relay from an MCU, use a NPN transistor or MOSFET as a low-side switch along with a flyback diode (like a 1N4007) across the coil to protect against inductive spikes. Ensure the PCB traces for the contacts are sized appropriately for the load current and maintain proper creepage and clearance distances between the coil and contact pins for safety.
