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

Telecommunication Equipment
Ideal for switching signal-level lines in modems and telephony interfaces due to its FCC Part 68 compliance.
Small Signal Switching
Commonly used in audio signal routing or low-power sensor signal switching where a small PCB footprint is required.
Test and Measurement
Utilized in automated test equipment for routing low-current signals between measurement nodes.
Security Systems
Reliable for dry contact switching in alarm panels and control interfaces.

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.
