Omron G2R-2-S 12VDC (S) Relay Socket Guide

The Omron G2R-2-S 12VDC (S) relay socket is a plug-in general-purpose relay designed for low-voltage DC control circuits. It is often used in automation panels, battery-powered systems, control interfaces, alarm equipment, and compact machine control applications where 12 VDC control power is available.

Main Technical Details

This relay uses a 12 VDC coil and DPDT contact configuration. The rated carry current for the 2-pole version is 5 A. Its maximum switching voltage is 380 VAC or 125 VDC. The 12 VDC coil has a rated current of approximately 43.2 mA and a coil resistance of 278 ohms. Power consumption is approximately 0.53 W.

Why Choose a 12VDC Relay?

A 12 VDC relay is useful in systems where control voltage comes from DC power supplies, batteries, embedded controllers, or low-voltage automation platforms. The Omron G2R-2-S 12VDC (S) relay socket provides electrical isolation between control electronics and switched loads, helping protect sensitive control devices.

Reliable Switching in Compact Panels

The slim plug-in body helps save space inside crowded control cabinets. Because the relay can be removed from its socket, maintenance becomes faster and cleaner. For more information about Omron components, visit Omron automation products.

Where It Is Commonly Used

Typical uses include signal isolation, small motor control, alarm output switching, PLC interface circuits, access control systems, and DC-powered control panels. Its mechanical operation indicator is especially useful when technicians need a quick visual check of relay status.
