Overview

The G5V-1-DC5 is a compact Omron signal relay with a 5 V DC coil intended for low-power switching and space-constrained applications. It is a small-footprint electromechanical relay commonly used where signal-level switching or simple isolation is required. Its low coil voltage makes it convenient to drive from standard logic-level electronics with an appropriate driver stage.

Why Choose This Part

Compact size and a 5 V coil make the relay easy to integrate into 5 V systems and breadboard/PCB prototypes. As an Omron part, it offers predictable electromechanical behavior and widespread availability. It is well suited for low-current switching where the robustness of a mechanical contact and electrical isolation are required.

Applications

Microcontroller-driven switching
Switching small DC loads, signal lines, or enabling/disabling circuits from a 5 V MCU or logic domain when isolation is needed.
Prototyping and test fixtures
Board-level switching and test jigs where compact relays can route signals or isolate circuits for measurement.
Audio and signal routing
Low-power analog or logic signal routing in small equipment, allowing mechanical isolation between channels.
Telecom and instrumentation
Switching or routing of low-voltage signals in measurement instruments, communication modules, or control panels.

Getting Started

Consult the Omron datasheet for exact pinout, coil current, and contact ratings before use. Drive the coil with a transistor, MOSFET, or a dedicated relay driver and include a flyback diode or snubber to protect the driver. For easy replacement during development, use a relay socket or leave footprint room on the PCB.

Also Consider

G5V-2-DC5 Omron - DPDT variant with a 5 V coil when you need two poles instead of the single pole of the G5V-1.
G5V-1-DC12 Omron - Same small form factor but with a 12 V coil if your system uses a 12 V rail instead of 5 V.
