G6C PCB Power Relay

Category: Electronics, OMRON Automation and Safety, Relays

Overview

The G6C series are miniature high-capacity relays designed for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) power switching. These relays are compact and efficient, tailor-made for space-saving requirements in various applications, and cater to the escalating demand for low power consumption, reduced footprint, and high performance. They come in two primary configurations: the SPST-NO 10A and the SPST-NO + SPST-NC 8A, signifying single-pole single-throw normally open contacts with a 10-ampere rating and a combination of normally open and normally closed contacts with an 8-ampere rating, respectively.

Features

The relays boast a petite size of 20 x 15 x 10 mm (Length x Width x Height), ensuring a minimal presence on the PCB. They efficiently operate with low power consumption, requiring only 200 milliwatts to function. Furthermore, they are well-suited for power switching and output needs. Another notable attribute is the availability of ultrasonically cleanable models, which ensure high standards of cleanliness when integrated into sensitive systems. In line with contemporary environmental standards, the relays are RoHS compliant, indicating they restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Designation and Approvals

The relays are designated with the model number G6C. Features such as relay function, contact material, number of poles, contact form, contact type, enclosure rating, washability, terminal shape, and mounting preferences are specified in the model’s nomenclature. For instance, the G6C-E DD-O- 2 3 10 nomenclature denotes the relay’s specific characteristics, with each letter and number representing a particular feature such as contact material or terminal shape.

Configurations

Options include single-side stable or latching configurations, with silver-alloy or silver-tin-indium contact materials suited for diverse applications. In terms of inductive loads with high inrush currents, the relays can handle such demands efficiently. The relays are suitable for SPST-NO or SPST-NO + SPST-NC contact forms and come with different levels of sealing such as fully sealed or flux protection, depending on the model.

Applications

The relays are ideal for control equipment output applications, providing reliable switching capabilities for power currents. An exclusive P6C model for socket mounting is available, offering a dedicated solution that augments ease of installation and replacement.
