G6K Surface Mounting Relay

Category: Electronics, OMRON Automation and Safety, Relays

Overview

The G6K Surface Mounting Relay is an ultra-compact and lightweight component designed specifically for high-density mounting in electronic devices. Its small size is emphasized by dimensions of 5.2 mm in height, 6.5 mm in width, and 10 mm in length, making the G6K series an ideal solution for space-constrained applications. The series includes various models that offer different configurations and specifications to suit a range of requirements.

Key Features

High-Density Mounting: The optimization of the relay’s dimensions aids in efficient use of circuit board space. The low-profile G6K(U)-2F(-Y) model with a height of only 5.2 mm and a weight of 0.7 g significantly enhances mounting efficiency and is suitable for automated, high-speed placement on printed circuit boards.

Reliable Soldering: The surface mounting terminal models feature a distinctive terminal structure that improves infrared irradiation efficiency. This design facilitates quicker terminal temperature increases during the Infrared Reflow Soldering (IRS) process, resulting in a more reliable soldering connection.

Electrical Endurance: The G6K series ensures a dielectric strength of 1,500 VAC, complying with FCC Part 68. Certain models—the “~Y” variants—can even handle an impulse withstand voltage of 2,500 V for 2 x 10 μs, in accordance with Telcordia standards. The standard model meets UL/CSA standards and has been certified by BSI for EN62368-1.

Customizability: Options include a 2.54-mm terminal pitch for integration flexibility. The series can accommodate a rated carry current of 2A, ensuring suitability for a range of load requirements.

Environmental Compliance: G6K relays are RoHS compliant, adhering to regulations restricting the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
