G5V-1 DC12
Overview
The G5V-1 DC12 is an ultra-miniature, highly sensitive SPDT (1 Form C) signal relay designed for PCB mounting. It features a fully-sealed construction and conforms to FCC Part 68 standards, making it ideal for telecommunications and precision switching. With a low 150mW power consumption and a compact 12.5mm length, it is optimized for high-density board layouts.
Why Choose This Part
The G5V-1 offers a fast 5ms operate and release time, ensuring responsive switching in time-sensitive circuits. Its fully-sealed housing allows for automated soldering and cleaning processes while protecting contacts from harsh environments. The high sensitivity allows the relay to be driven by a modest 12.5mA coil current at 12VDC.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
When integrating this relay, ensure the drive circuit includes a flyback diode to protect against inductive spikes. The 12VDC coil can be driven directly from a transistor or a dedicated relay driver IC. Adhere to the through-hole footprint specified in the datasheet to ensure proper alignment and mechanical stability during assembly.
