Three Omron electronic relays are displayed against a clean, white background. The relays feature visible technical specifications printed on their surfaces, including '5V DC' and '10A 250V AC'.

Compact telecom relays from OMRON enable high density mounting by reducing the mounting area of the surface mount package by up to 56% compared to comparable alternative devices. By also meeting Telcordia specifications, the relays are suitable for use in telecom equipment such as central office switches and broadband routers, which must typically provide many channels of switching within a confined area.

The footprint of the OMRON G6J-Y series measures 5.7 x 10.6 mm, creating a slim device that also achieves a low profile of 9.0 mm and allowing cards to be closely stacked in rack-mount systems. The relay has DPDT contacts and is available in single-side stable or energy-saving single-winding latching versions. Single-winding latching operation saves up to 40% of the relay’s overall power consumption. Package options include surface mount with optional short or long terminals, or through hole mounting.

The G6J-Y series includes coil ratings of 3 VDC, 4.5 VDC, 5 VDC, 12 VDC, and 24 VDC in single-side stable versions, and up to 12 VDC in single-winding latching versions. Contacts have 100 mΩ maximum resistance and are rated up to 1 A at 30 VDC and maximum switching voltage of 125 VAC or 110 VDC. High mechanical life expectancy of 50 million operations combines with electrical longevity at rated load of 100,000 operations. The relays will also withstand shocks up to 75G without malfunction, operating temperatures from -40 °C to + 85 °C, and up to 85% relative humidity.

Here’s why you should shop OMRON G6J relays

Reduces component count
Double-pole, double-throw configuration enables multiple simultaneous switching with a single relay, which contributes to reducing the number of parts in equipment.
Contributes to power saving
Single winding coil latching type with a contact state holding function is also available, which contributes to power saving of equipment by reducing the control power of the relay.
Supports mounting on small devices and high integration
The extremely small mounting area contributes to mounting on small devices and high integration of boards.

G6J-Y Relay Application Examples

5G

The next generation 5G communication standard is being introduced in various devices including 5G base stations. The G6J-Y contributes to the high integration of communication equipment such as exchanges and edge routers, Ethernet switches, and set-top boxes.

Smart Home

In smart home-related fields, G6J-Y can be used in a variety of devices from smart meters and thermostat controllers to security devices and digital audio players.
