G6K-2P-Y-DC5
Overview
The G6K-2P-Y-DC5 is a compact, surface-mount DPDT (2 Form C) electromechanical relay designed for low-signal switching applications. It features a 5 VDC coil and highly insulated PCB terminals, making it compatible with standard 5 V logic circuits in dense layouts. Its small 10 mm x 6.5 mm footprint and high dielectric strength make it a reliable choice for signal routing and communication interfaces.
Why Choose This Part
This relay offers a compact footprint with an 8-pin through-hole configuration and a standard 2.54 mm pitch for easy PCB integration. It provides 2 A switching capacity and excellent insulation performance between the coil and contacts. The 5 V coil is specifically optimized for direct operation in 5 V digital systems without requiring complex level shifting.
Applications
Getting Started
When integrating this relay, ensure the 5 V DC supply can handle the coil current and use a flyback diode to protect driving transistors from inductive spikes. For prototyping, the 2.54 mm pin pitch allows for easy placement on breadboards or perfboards. Review the contact load ratings to ensure signal currents do not exceed the 2 A maximum rating.
