G5LE-14 DC5
Overview
The G5LE-14 DC5 is a subminiature SPDT power relay capable of switching loads up to 10 A at 250 VAC. This through-hole component features a 5 VDC coil and a fully sealed construction, making it suitable for environments where flux or cleaning solvents are present. It is designed to provide high switching power in a compact 16.5 mm x 22.6 mm footprint.
Why Choose This Part
This relay offers a high switching capacity of 10 A within a small form factor and includes Class B coil insulation as standard. Its fully sealed design ensures reliable operation in harsh environments, and the SPDT (1 Form C) configuration provides flexibility for both normally-open and normally-closed logic.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To drive this relay from a microcontroller, use a logic-level NPN transistor or N-channel MOSFET as a low-side switch to handle the 79.4 mA coil current. Always include a flyback diode (such as a 1N4007) across the coil terminals to prevent inductive voltage spikes from damaging your control circuitry. Ensure the PCB traces for the 10 A load side are sufficiently wide and use thick copper to manage thermal rise.
