G5Q-14 DC12
Overview
The G5Q-14 DC12 is a compact, SPDT (1 Form C) power relay capable of switching loads up to 10A at 24VDC. It features a 12VDC coil with a 33.3mA operating current and is fully sealed to protect contacts during PCB soldering and cleaning processes.
Why Choose This Part
This relay offers a high switching capacity of 10A in a small footprint, measuring 20.3mm x 10.6mm. The fully sealed construction allows for reliable operation in dusty or humid environments and simplifies manufacturing by allowing for automatic wave soldering.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
When designing a PCB for this through-hole component, ensure trace widths are sufficient for the 10A maximum output current. Use a standard flyback diode (such as a 1N4007) across the 12VDC coil pins to protect driving transistors from inductive back-EMF during the 5ms release time.
