Overview

The G5V-13 DC12 is an ultra-miniature, SPDT (1 Form C) low signal relay designed for high sensitivity and reliable switching in space-constrained PCB designs. Featuring a fully-sealed construction, this relay is built to withstand automated soldering and cleaning processes while conforming to FCC Part 68 standards for telecommunications equipment.

Why Choose This Part

This relay offers a highly sensitive coil requiring only 12.5 mA at 12VDC, making it suitable for low-power drive circuits. Its fully-sealed housing provides protection against environmental contaminants, and the fast 5 ms operate and release times ensure responsive switching performance.

Applications

Telecommunication Equipment
Ideal for signal switching in telephony and networking hardware due to its FCC Part 68 compliance.
Measurement Instrumentation
Used in test equipment where low power consumption (150mW) and small footprint are critical for high-density boards.
Audio Signal Routing
Suitable for switching low-level audio signals in consumer electronics and professional audio interfaces.
Embedded Control Systems
Acts as a reliable interface between 12V logic circuits and small external loads or signals.

Getting Started

When integrating this relay, ensure the driving transistor or MCU GPIO can sink the required 12.5 mA coil current and include a flyback diode (e.g., 1N4148) across the coil pins to prevent inductive voltage spikes. The 6-pin through-hole footprint requires a standard PCB drilling layout with a 7.5mm by 12.5mm area.
