Overview

The G5V-2-H1 DC12 is a 12VDC ultra-sensitive DPDT low signal relay from Omron, designed for reliable switching in a compact DIP-8 footprint. This fully-sealed component is rated for loads up to 2A at 30VDC or 0.5A at 125VAC, making it suitable for signal routing and small power switching. Its high sensitivity coil consumes only 12.5 mA, allowing it to be driven by low-power circuits.

Why Choose This Part

The ultra-sensitive coil design allows for direct interfacing with logic circuits while consuming minimal power. Its fully-sealed construction ensures reliability in harsh environments and allows for automated solder cleaning processes. With a fast 7ms operate time and 3ms release time, it provides responsive switching for time-sensitive applications.

Applications

Telecommunication Equipment
Switching signal paths and routing voice or data lines in telecom infrastructure.
Medical Instrumentation
Providing galvanic isolation and signal switching in diagnostic and monitoring devices.
Security Control Panels
Activating sirens, strobe lights, or auxiliary dry-contact outputs in alarm systems.
Test and Measurement
Automated switching of measurement probes or signal sources in ATE systems.

Getting Started

To use this relay, ensure the 12VDC coil is driven with a flyback diode to protect sensitive control circuitry from inductive spikes. The 2.54mm pitch pins are compatible with standard breadboards and 0.1-inch grid PCBs for rapid prototyping. Consider the 12.5mA coil current when selecting a driving transistor or logic-level MOSFET.
