Omron
Compact DPDT PCB relay available with a 24 V DC coil for similar PCB-mounted signal switching in a different manufacturer family.
NRND8,430 in stock

Overview

The G6K-2F-Y-DC24 is a compact, surface-mount DPDT (2 Form C) telecom relay designed for high-density PCB layouts. It features a 24V DC coil with a low power consumption of approximately 100mW (4.6 mA) and is fully sealed to withstand soldering and cleaning processes. This relay is particularly suited for signal switching applications requiring high insulation and a small footprint.

Why Choose This Part

This relay offers high sensitivity with a low coil current of 4.6 mA and extremely fast switching times of 3ms for both operate and release. The gold-layered silver contacts ensure high contact reliability for low-level signal switching in a miniature SMT package measuring only 6.5mm by 5.2mm.

Applications

Telecommunications Equipment
Ideal for line switching and signal routing in networking hardware due to its compact 10mm length.
Test and Measurement
Used in automated test equipment (ATE) for switching low-level signals with minimal signal loss.
Industrial Control Systems
Suitable for PLC output modules and communication interfaces requiring reliable dry-contact switching.
Instrumentation
Fits in portable or benchtop precision instruments where PCB real estate is limited.

Getting Started

When designing for the G6K-2F-Y-DC24, ensure the PCB footprint accounts for the Outside-L terminal configuration to maintain proper solder fillet visibility. Since this is a non-latching relay, continuous power is required to maintain the set position, so thermal management should consider the 70 degrees Celsius maximum ambient rating. For protection against inductive back-EMF, a flyback diode should be placed across the 24V coil terminals.
