Overview

The G6KU-2P-Y DC12 is a surface-mount, low signal relay featuring a single-winding latching mechanism. This DPDT (2 Form C) relay is designed for high-density PCB mounting with a compact 10mm x 6.5mm footprint and low power consumption of 100mW. It is specifically engineered for telecommunication and instrumentation applications requiring high insulation and signal integrity.

Why Choose This Part

This relay offers a high dielectric strength of 2,500 VAC between coil and contacts and meets Telcordia surge withstand requirements. The latching architecture significantly reduces heat dissipation and power draw in long-duration switching states compared to non-latching variants.

Applications

Telecommunication Equipment
Ideal for line switching and signal routing in network equipment where low power consumption is critical.
Test and Measurement
Used in automated test equipment (ATE) to switch high-precision analog signals with minimal distortion.
Medical Instrumentation
Suitable for portable diagnostic devices that require reliable switching in a small form factor.
Battery Powered Devices
The single-winding latching design allows the relay to maintain its state without continuous power, extending battery life.

Getting Started

When designing with this latching relay, ensure the driving circuit provides the minimum set/reset pulse width specified in the datasheet, typically 10ms. Engineers should implement a H-bridge or dual-driver circuit to reverse polarity for the single-winding coil to toggle between the set and reset positions.
