G6K-2P-Y-DC12

Overview

The G6K-2P-Y-DC12 is a subminiature, low-profile DPDT signal relay designed by Omron for high-density PCB mounting. It features a 12 VDC coil and is optimized for switching low-level signals in telecommunications and test equipment applications. With a height of only 5.2 mm and a 2.54 mm pin pitch, it is ideal for space-constrained designs requiring mechanical isolation.

Why Choose This Part

This relay offers an extremely small footprint and low profile of 5.2 mm, making it suitable for applications with tight vertical clearances. Its high sensitivity allows for low power consumption during operation, while the 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) terminal pitch simplifies layout on standard grid PCBs.

Applications

Getting Started

When designing with the G6K-2P-Y-DC12, ensure a flyback diode is placed across the 12 VDC coil to protect driving circuitry from inductive spikes. The 2.54 mm pin pitch is compatible with standard breadboards and prototyping boards, though the relay is intended for permanent PCB mounting. Reference the Omron footprint guide to ensure proper pad layout for the 8-pin DPDT configuration.
