Relay adds latching contact options

The relay series is in stock at authorised distributor AngliaComponenyts.

Omron says that the G5Q has become a global standard for compact power relays having sold more than 500 million units since its launch in 2001.

The company has now introduced the compact latching relay/single-stable relay G5Q-HR, an advanced addition to the G5Q family, combining low power consumption, high inrush current resistance, and a compact design.

Available in coil voltages from 3V to 24 VDC the new -HR type includes option of stable, single or double winding latching contacts. The addition of latching contact options help meet the demand for energy saving making the relays suitable for applications requiring high efficiency when in standby mode or when used in battery operated equipment.

The G5Q-HR range has been designed to meet various high inrush standards including TV-8 (Peak inrush 117A / Break 8A 120 VAC), E Ballast 3A & 5A 277 VAC and IEC60669-1 (3A 277 VAC Capacitor 35uF).

A compact slim design measuring just 20.3 x 10.3 x 15.8mm, compared with the popular G5RL OMRON relay represents an approximately 43% reduction in PCB mounting area, yet the relay is still capable of handling currents up to 10A at 277 VAC.

The relay combines low power consumption, high inrush current resistance, and a compact design. This PCB power relay is tailored for high-inrush current applications, including Inverters, Lighting, Building Automation, Smart Plugs, Factory Automation, Motor Control and Home Appliances.

Anglia are offering customers FREE samples of the G5Q-HR high inrush miniature PCB power relay.
