Omron G2R-2-S 120VAC (S) Relay Socket Overview

The Omron G2R-2-S 120VAC (S) relay socket is a compact plug-in relay built for industrial control panels and automation circuits that use 120 VAC control power. It is part of Omron’s G2RS family, known for space-saving design, practical serviceability, and reliable switching performance.

Technical Characteristics

This relay has a DPDT contact configuration, allowing two separate circuits to be switched simultaneously. The rated carry current is 5 A, while the maximum switching voltage for the 2-pole model is 380 VAC or 125 VDC. The 120 VAC coil has an approximate rated current of 8.6 mA at 50 Hz and 7.5 mA at 60 Hz, with a coil resistance of 7,286 ohms.

Designed for 120VAC Control Systems

Many North American industrial panels and control cabinets use 120 VAC as a standard control voltage. The Omron G2R-2-S 120VAC (S) is well suited for these environments because it combines familiar coil voltage, plug-in installation, and dependable contact switching in one compact relay body.

Maintenance-Friendly Plug-In Format

The plug-in design makes the relay practical for panels that require quick servicing. Instead of removing wiring, technicians can replace the relay from its socket, reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance routines. For related Omron automation components, see Omron relay solutions.

Common Use Areas

This relay is commonly selected for PLC output isolation, alarm systems, pump controls, HVAC panels, machine interlocks, and auxiliary switching. Its transparent case and mechanical indicator support fast visual inspection during commissioning or fault diagnosis.

Omron G2R-2-S 120VAC (S) FAQ

What type of relay is the Omron G2R-2-S 120VAC (S)?
