Benefits & Applications
-
Compact, High-Performance Design
The small footprint makes it ideal for dense PCB layouts, while the 8 A rating allows handling of many common loads such as small motors, solenoids, or lighting circuits. -
Reliable Switching & Long Life
With fast response times and a sealed enclosure, this relay offers dependable performance even in challenging or dusty environments. -
Flexible Use Across AC & DC Loads
Although rated for 8 A resistive, this relay can switch both AC (up to 250 VAC) and DC (up to 30 VDC) loads, making it versatile for various control systems. -
Industrial & Automation Ready
A great choice for control panels, machines, instrumentation, building automation, or any application requiring a solid, high-reliability relay.
Installation & Application Tips
-
PCB Layout & Clearance
Ensure your board footprint matches the Omron G6B series pin layout and provide adequate spacing especially between high-voltage traces and relay coil pins. -
Inductive Load Protection
If switching inductive loads (e.g. motors, solenoids), include a flyback diode or snubber circuit to reduce arc damage and lengthen relay life. -
Temperature & Mounting
Allow space for cooling; avoid placing the relay near heat sources. Operate within –25 °C to +70 °C for best reliability. -
Test Under Load
Always perform a test with the intended load to verify contact performance and timing before final deployment. -
Shielding & Isolation
In noisy electrical environments or where EMI is present, consider additional board guard traces or shielding to maintain signal integrity.
