The OMRON G5A234P is a high-performance, compact 8-pin electromagnetic relay designed for precision switching in telecommunications, security systems, and professional electronic control circuits. Engineered for reliability, this low-profile relay offers exceptional signal integrity and low power consumption for sensitive PCB applications.
Dual-Pole Double-Throw (DPDT): Features a versatile 8-pin configuration that allows for simultaneous control of two separate circuits.
Precision 12VDC Coil: Optimized for standard 12V DC power systems, providing consistent and fast-acting switching performance.
High Sensitivity Design: Engineered for low power consumption, making it ideal for battery-operated devices and dense PCB layouts.
Resistive Load Protection: Rated for precise switching of resistive loads, ensuring durability and reduced contact wear over time.
Gold-Clad Crossbar Contacts: Utilizes premium contact materials to maintain high reliability when switching low-current signals.
Rugged Sealed Construction: Encased in a durable black resin housing that protects internal components from environmental contaminants and flux during soldering.
Coil Voltage: 12VDC.
Pin Count: 8-Pin Through-Hole Mounting.
Contact Configuration: DPDT (2 Form C).
Load Rating (Resistive): 0.5A at 60VAC / 0.5A at 60VDC.
Origin: Made in Japan.
Safety Standards: CSA and UL recognized.
Telecommunications Equipment: Ideal for line switching and signal routing in modems and PBX systems.
Audio Signal Routing: Used in high-fidelity audio equipment to switch between different inputs or output stages without signal degradation.
Security & Alarm Systems: Provides reliable control for sensor interfaces and siren triggers in commercial and residential security panels.
Industrial Automation: Serves as a compact interface relay for PLC outputs and logic-level signal conversion.
Can this relay handle 240V mains power? No. This model is rated for resistive loads up to 60VAC/60VDC. It is specifically designed for low-power signal switching and should not be used for high-voltage household appliances.
Is this compatible with a breadboard? The 8-pin through-hole design is standard for PCBs. While the pins may fit some breadboards, we recommend using a dedicated PCB or a relay socket to ensure stable connections and prevent pin damage.
What does "2 Form C" mean? This refers to the DPDT configuration. It means the relay contains two independent switches, each having a Common, Normally Open, and Normally Closed terminal.
