Compact mains relay also slim

10 March 2004 Switches, Relays & Keypads

A compact, slim profile relay for 5 A mains switching applications has been introduced by Omron, for use in industrial control relay banks. Measuring just 7,2 mm wide, compared to 10,3 mm for standard version, the new Omron G5NB-EU is a highly compact solution for resistive load and other applications where current levels are limited. These include fans, water heaters and other small electric appliances.

Suitable for switching 5 A loads at European 250 V a.c. mains voltage levels, the G5NB-E carries VDE, UL and CSA approval. Highly efficient, it features a low power coil that draws only 200 mW, to save power supply size and cost, and has tracking resistance that exceeds CTI250. The relay does not contain lead or cadmium, and will meet the upcoming European environmental standards.

Offered in SPST-NO form, the G5NB-E is available in PCB mounting form, and is sealed against flux contamination during assembly. Voltages for the control coil are 5, 12, 18 or 24 V d.c. The relay can handle up to 1250 VA at 90 W, and has an electrical life of 100 000 operations at mains voltage.
