Omron has 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.

Free samples are available from authorised distributor Anglia Components.

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 measures just 20.3 x 10.3 x 15.8mm. Compared with the popular G5RL OMRON relay this represents an approximate 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.

It is tailored for high-inrush current applications, including Inverters, Lighting, Building Automation, Smart Plugs, Factory Automation, Motor Control and Home Appliances.
