Omron G2R-1-S 12VDC (N) Relay Socket Technical Article

The Omron G2R-1-S 12VDC (N) relay socket is a compact plug-in electromechanical relay used in control circuits where a 12 VDC coil is required. It is commonly applied in automation panels, machine control systems, auxiliary switching circuits, and interface applications between low-voltage control signals and switched loads.

Main Technical Details

This model uses a 12 VDC coil voltage and has a SPDT contact configuration. SPDT means single pole double throw, allowing one common contact to switch between normally open and normally closed paths. This structure is widely used in control logic, status change circuits, alarm systems, and interlock applications.

The relay is designed with a 5-pin plug-in format and a 10 A contact rating. Its plug-in design helps simplify maintenance because the relay can be removed from the socket without disturbing wiring. The mechanical indicator provides a direct visual reference of relay operation, which is useful during testing and troubleshooting.

Typical Uses

The Omron G2R-1-S 12VDC (N) relay socket is suitable for DC control panels, small automation equipment, signal conversion tasks, and auxiliary machine circuits. Its 12 VDC coil makes it practical for systems where low-voltage DC control power is already available.

Engineering Perspective

In panel design, this relay offers a balance between current capacity, serviceability, and simple circuit integration. The SPDT structure provides flexibility, while the 10 A rating supports many standard switching duties. For more Omron-related technical information, visit Omron product details.
