G5V-1 DC5
Overview
The G5V-1 DC5 is a compact, ultra-miniature SPDT (1 Form C) signal relay designed for low-level switching applications. This fully-sealed through-hole relay features a 5VDC coil and is FCC Part 68 compliant for telecommunication equipment requirements.
Why Choose This Part
The relay offers a highly compact 12.5mm by 7.5mm footprint with a fast 5ms operate and release time. Its fully-sealed construction ensures reliability in harsh environments and allows for automatic soldering and cleaning processes.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To drive the G5V-1 DC5 from a microcontroller, use a standard NPN transistor or N-channel MOSFET as a low-side switch with a 1N4148 flyback diode across the coil to protect against inductive spikes. Ensure the power supply can provide the 30mA coil current required at 5VDC.
