NRND5,053 in stock

Overview

The G6K-2G-Y-DC5 is a compact, surface-mount DPDT low signal relay designed for high-density PCB layouts. It features a single-side stable (non-latching) configuration with a 5VDC coil and a low power consumption of approximately 100mW. Its Inside-L terminal design ensures efficient use of board space while maintaining reliable mechanical and electrical contact.

Why Choose This Part

This relay offers a very low profile height of 5.4mm and a small 10mm x 6.5mm footprint, making it one of the smallest signal relays available for space-constrained designs. It is highly efficient, operating at just 21.1mA at 5VDC, which reduces thermal load on the PCB.

Applications

Telecommunications Equipment
Ideal for switching low-level signals in networking hardware and communication lines.
Test and Measurement
Used in automated test equipment (ATE) to route signals with minimal interference.
Home Automation
Suitable for low-power control circuits in smart building devices and security systems.
Industrial Instrumentation
Integrates into sensor interfaces and PLC outputs requiring isolated signal switching up to 2A.

Getting Started

When designing for the G6K-2G-Y-DC5, ensure the PCB footprint accounts for the Inside-L terminal geometry to facilitate proper solder fillet formation. Because this is a non-latching relay, the coil must remain energized to maintain the set position, so consider using a flyback diode to protect the driving transistor from inductive spikes.
