Overview

The G5LE-1 DC5 is a subminiature, single-pole double-throw (SPDT) power relay designed for general purpose switching. It features a 5VDC coil and is capable of handling load currents up to 10A, making it a reliable choice for interfacing low-voltage logic with high-power AC or DC loads.

Why Choose This Part

This relay offers a compact footprint with a high switching capacity of 10A at a competitive price point. The 5VDC coil is compatible with common 5V logic supplies, and its sealed flux-protection construction ensures reliable performance during the soldering and cleaning process.

Applications

Smart Home Appliances
Switching heating elements or motors in small household appliances like coffee makers and toasters.
HVAC Control
Controlling fans, dampers, or small compressor units in environmental control systems.
Industrial PLC Output Modules
Acting as the physical switching element for digital output cards in automation controllers.
Power Strip Control
Managing individual socket switching in smart power distribution units (PDUs).
