Overview

The G5Q-14-EU DC5 is a compact, high-capacity miniature power relay designed for PCB mounting. It features a SPDT contact arrangement and is specifically engineered to comply with EN60335-1 safety standards for household appliances. This model offers high insulation performance with a clearance and creepage distance of 8mm between the coil and contacts.

Why Choose This Part

This relay offers a high switching capacity in a small footprint, saving valuable PCB real estate. It provides 10kV impulse withstand voltage between coil and contacts, ensuring superior protection against voltage surges in harsh electrical environments.

Applications

Smart Home Appliances
Switching power for washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators while meeting safety insulation requirements.
HVAC Controls
Actuating fans, dampers, and pumps in residential heating and cooling systems.
Power Supplies
Implementing soft-start circuits or output disconnects in industrial and consumer power units.
Lighting Control
Managing automated lighting circuits in building automation systems where high inrush currents may occur.

Getting Started

To integrate this relay, ensure your PCB layout accommodates the 8mm creepage requirements for mains isolation. Use a flyback diode across the DC5V coil terminals to protect your driving transistor or MCU from inductive voltage spikes during turn-off.
