Overview of Omron Low Signal Relay G6S

Omron’s G6S series consists of low signal relays for surface mounting, offering a variety of contact forms, terminal shapes, and packaging options. Adhering to stringent standards, these relays provide high dielectric withstand voltage and are suited for telecommunications, as well as general-purpose low signal switching. They present a low power consumption design, ideal for energy-sensitive applications.

Key Features and Ordering Information

The G6S series features a dielectric withstand voltage of 2,000 VAC between coil and contacts for standard types, and 1,500 VAC between contacts of different polarity. It meets FCC Part 68 and withstands Telcordia 2.5 kV surges. Compliance with UL/CSA standards is standard, with BSI EN60950-certified models (-Y versions) also available. The non-latching models consume 140 mW power and variants include through-hole or surface mount terminal (SMT) types, with packaging options including tape and reel or tube. The G6S series is RoHS compliant.

Models and Configurations

Relay models in this series cover non-latching and single or dual coil latching types, featuring a Double-Pole Double-Throw (DPDT) contact form, with options for gull-wing or inside “L” or PCB through-hole terminal shapes. When ordering, one must specify the required coil voltage and packaging preference. Additionally, high-sensitivity coil options (model suffix “-H”) for dual coil latching models are available, with a power consumption of either 140 mW or 200 mW for the 24 VDC version.

Contact and Coil Specifications

For contact data, the G6S series can handle a resistive load of 0.5 A at 125 VAC or 2 A at 30 VDC, and a bifurcated crossbar Ag (Au-Alloy) contact type. They boast a max carry current of 2 A, operating voltage of 250 VAC/220 VDC, max operating current of 2 A, and a switching capacity ranging from 62.5 VA to 60 W. The minimum permissible load for reliable operation is specified as low as 10 μA at 10 mVDC, emphasizing the series’ aptitude for low signal applications.

The coil specifications detail different parameters for standard non-latching and single or dual coil latching models, including the rated coil voltage and current, coil resistance, pick-up and dropout voltages, and power consumption figures, with conditions provided at a calibrated temperature of 23°C. The power consumption ranges from approximately 100 to 300 mW for various models, highlighting the efficiency of the G6S series. The European Version relays, certified by BSI (EN60950), also note similar specifications but with different rated voltage and current expectations.

These first two pages emphasize the versatility and certification of the G6S series to cater to a wide range of applications, particularly those requiring reliable performance in low power and low signal contexts.
