Omron G2RV-SL500-AP 230VAC Relay Socket Technical Overview

The Omron G2RV-SL500-AP 230VAC relay socket is a slim interface relay solution designed for control panels where space, signal reliability, and clear wiring structure matter. As part of Omron’s G2RV slim relay family, this model combines a relay and socket format in a compact body with push-in terminal connection. Its 230 VAC input rating makes it suitable for industrial automation panels that use mains-level control signals.

This model belongs to the AP input type range, which is intended for low-level input applications. The AP contact structure uses gold-plated contact material, helping maintain reliable switching behavior in microload circuits. For systems where PLC inputs, signal feedback, interlock circuits, or low-current control signals are involved, this detail is especially important.

Key Technical Characteristics

The Omron G2RV-SL500-AP 230VAC relay socket has a slim 6 mm class design, helping engineers reduce panel footprint without compromising serviceability. It uses SPDT contact configuration and is built for DIN rail installation. The 230 VAC version has an approximate power consumption of 1.7 VA, with rated current values measured at 23°C ambient temperature.

For AP input-type models, the rated load is 50 mA at 30 VAC or 50 mA at 36 VDC. The maximum switching voltage is 30 VAC or 36 VDC, and the maximum switching current is 50 mA. This makes the product more suitable for signal-level switching than for direct power-load switching.

Where It Fits in a Control Panel

This relay socket is commonly used between field devices and control systems, especially where signal isolation and organized panel wiring are required. The push-in terminal design supports faster wiring compared with conventional screw-based layouts, while the transparent housing helps visual inspection during maintenance.

Omron G2RV-SL500-AP 230VAC FAQ

Is Omron G2RV-SL500-AP 230VAC suitable for high-current loads?

No. The AP version is intended for microload or signal-level switching. For higher current resistive loads, standard G2RV models should be evaluated instead.

What does AP mean in this model?

AP refers to an input-type contact structure with gold-plated contacts, designed to improve reliability in very low current applications.

Does this model use screw terminals?

No. The SL500 series uses push-in terminals, which are useful in dense control panels where installation speed and neat wiring are important.

What is the main benefit of the 6 mm slim relay format?

The narrow body helps reduce panel width, allowing more relay channels to be installed in limited cabinet space.
