G5V-1-2 DC5
Overview
The G5V-1-2 DC5 is a compact, ultra-miniature SPDT low-signal relay designed for high-density PCB mounting. It features a fully sealed construction to protect against soldering flux and environmental contaminants, making it suitable for demanding signal switching applications. With a low 150mW power consumption and a 1A contact rating, it provides reliable switching for logic-level and small power loads.
Why Choose This Part
The relay offers a highly sensitive 150mW coil, allowing it to be driven by standard logic circuits with minimal power overhead. Its small footprint (12.5mm x 7.5mm) saves significant PCB real estate compared to standard power relays while maintaining a 1A switching capacity.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To integrate this relay, ensure the driving circuit can provide at least 30mA at 5VDC to the coil. A flyback diode must be placed in parallel with the coil to protect driving transistors from inductive spikes during de-energization. The 2.54mm pin pitch allows for easy prototyping on standard perfboards or breadboards using a suitable adapter.
