Overview

The G5LE-14-AP3 DC5 is a subminiature power relay from Omron, designed for high-capacity switching in a compact footprint. This SPDT (1 Form C) relay features a 5VDC coil and is fully sealed to protect against harsh environments and soldering fluxes. It is capable of switching loads up to 10A, making it a reliable choice for power management in consumer and industrial electronics.

Why Choose This Part

This relay offers a high switching capacity of 10A in a small through-hole package, optimizing PCB real estate. The fully sealed construction allows for automatic soldering and cleaning processes, while the 10ms operate time ensures responsive switching for time-sensitive applications.

Applications

Home Appliances
Switching heating elements, motors, or power supplies in washing machines, refrigerators, and microwave ovens.
HVAC Controls
Controlling fans, dampers, and small compressors in climate control systems.
Smart Outlets
Providing the switching mechanism for IoT-enabled power strips and remote-controlled wall sockets.
Industrial Automation
Acting as an isolation interface between low-power logic circuits and higher-voltage actuators.

Getting Started

To drive this relay, ensure your control circuit can provide the required 79.4 mA coil current at 5VDC, typically using a BJT or MOSFET switching transistor. Always include a flyback diode (e.g., 1N4007) across the coil terminals to protect your driver circuitry from inductive voltage spikes during turn-off.

Also Consider

ALZ Relay Panasonic - Offers a higher 16A switching capacity in a similar form factor for more demanding power loads.
G5Q-14 DC5 Omron Electronics - A more compact SPDT relay option if 10A is required but PCB space is even more limited.
