G5V-1

Overview

The Omron G5V-1 is a highly reliable, miniature signal relay designed for low-level switching applications in a compact SPDT (1 Form C) configuration. It is an industry-standard component known for its small footprint and fully sealed construction, making it suitable for environments where exposure to dust or soldering flux is a concern. The relay is optimized for signal-level loads rather than high-power switching.

Why Choose This Part

The G5V-1 offers excellent sensitivity with a low power consumption coil, typically around 150mW. Its fully sealed structure allows for automatic soldering and cleaning processes, while the gold-plated crossbar contacts ensure high reliability when switching low-current loads.

Applications

Getting Started

When designing with the G5V-1, ensure that the PCB layout accounts for the specific coil voltage of the selected variant, such as 5VDC, 12VDC, or 24VDC. It is standard practice to include a flyback diode (like a 1N4148) in parallel with the coil to protect driving circuitry from inductive voltage spikes. Ensure the load remains within the signal-level rating, typically 1A at 24VDC or 0.5A at 125VAC.
