G2RL15DC – OMRON

Overview

The OMRON G2RL-1 DC5 is a robust general-purpose relay designed for reliable switching of moderate power loads, featuring a SPDT (1 Form C) contact configuration and a 5VDC coil. Its critical operational characteristic lies in its 12A contact rating, enabling it to handle significant current demands. A key design consideration for engineers is the trade-off between its compact through-hole form factor and the necessity for adequate PCB thermal management, as continuous operation at its maximum current rating can generate substantial heat, potentially impacting adjacent components or requiring heatsinking strategies.

Key Features

• Contact Form: SPDT (1 Form C)
