Overview

The G5V-1-2 DC24 is a highly sensitive SPDT low signal relay designed for PCB mounting. It features a 24VDC coil with a low power consumption of 150mW and is fully sealed to withstand soldering and cleaning processes. This relay is capable of switching loads up to 1A, making it ideal for telecommunications and security applications.

Why Choose This Part

The 150mW high-sensitivity coil allows the relay to be driven with very low current, specifically 6.3 mA at 24VDC. Its fully sealed construction ensures reliable operation in harsh environments and during automated PCB cleaning. The compact through-hole footprint saves significant board space in dense signal-routing designs.

Applications

Telecommunication Equipment
Used for switching signal paths in telephone systems and network interfaces.
Security Control Panels
Ideal for triggering alarms or controlling low-power notification devices in security systems.
Computer Peripherals
Facilitates signal routing and isolation in external interface hardware and I/O modules.
Industrial Instrumentation
Provides reliable signal switching in measurement equipment and sensor interfaces.

Getting Started

To integrate this relay, ensure your PCB layout includes the standard 2.54mm pitch for the 6-pin through-hole footprint. Use a flyback diode (such as a 1N4148) across the coil pins to protect your driver circuitry from inductive voltage spikes. Since this is a 24VDC coil, ensure your power rail can provide the necessary 6.3 mA pick-up current.
