- 12 V DC coil for direct microcontroller or logic-level drive via transistor stage
- High-reliability (HR) construction rated for extended 10 million+ mechanical operation cycles
- Reinforced insulation between coil and contacts for enhanced safety margins
- RoHS-compliant PCB-mount package for automated wave or hand soldering assembly
Applications
The G5RL-1-E-HR-DC12 is designed for PCB-mount power switching in home appliances, HVAC control boards, and industrial equipment where a 16 A SPDT relay must switch AC or DC loads reliably over millions of cycles. Its 12 V DC coil voltage is compatible with standard relay driver circuits using NPN transistors or dedicated relay driver ICs, enabling microcontroller-based switching of mains-voltage loads such as motors, heaters, and lighting circuits. The high-reliability rating and reinforced insulation make it ideal for safety-critical switching in smart home systems, energy management controllers, and IoT-connected appliance boards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact current and voltage ratings does the G5RL-1-E-HR-DC12 support for AC mains switching?
The G5RL-1-E-HR-DC12 features a 16 A contact rating and is rated for switching AC mains loads at 250 V AC, making it suitable for controlling resistive and moderate inductive loads such as heaters, lighting circuits, and small motor starters. Its SPDT contact configuration provides both normally open and normally closed switching paths for flexible circuit design.
How many operational cycles is the G5RL-1-E-HR-DC12 rated for, and what does this mean for appliance lifespans?
The Omron G5RL-1-E-HR (High-Reliability) series is rated for a minimum of 10 million mechanical operation cycles under no-load conditions and 100,000 to 300,000 electrical operations at rated load, depending on contact material and load type. This translates to over 10 years of service in an appliance cycling 30 to 50 times per day, making it appropriate for washing machine controllers, dishwasher timers, and HVAC thermostat boards.
Can a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO directly drive the G5RL-1-E-HR-DC12 coil, or is a driver circuit required?
A 3.3 V GPIO cannot directly drive the G5RL-1-E-HR-DC12, as the coil requires a 12 V DC supply and draws approximately 33.3 mA (based on a nominal 360 Ω coil resistance). A standard NPN transistor such as a 2N2222 or a dedicated relay driver IC like the ULN2003 is needed between the GPIO and the relay coil, with a 1N4007 flyback diode across the coil to protect the driver from back-EMF spikes during turn-off.
