G6K-2F-Y-DC5
Overview
The G6K-2F-Y-DC5 is a subminiature, surface-mount DPDT (2 Form C) low signal relay designed for high-density PCB layouts. It features a low power consumption of approximately 100mW and a compact footprint of 6.5mm by 10mm, making it ideal for precision switching in space-constrained environments. This model is a single-side stable, non-latching relay with a nominal 5VDC coil voltage.
Why Choose This Part
This relay offers an extremely small footprint and low profile, saving significant PCB real estate. The high sensitivity 100mW coil reduces power consumption and thermal load, while the gullwing surface-mount terminals ensure compatibility with standard automated assembly processes.
Applications
Getting Started
When designing with this relay, ensure the 5VDC coil is driven by a transistor or MOSFET circuit as most MCU pins cannot source the required current. Include a flyback diode across the coil pins to protect your control circuitry from inductive voltage spikes during turn-off. For high-frequency signals, keep PCB traces short and maintain consistent impedance to minimize signal loss.
