Omron G2RL-1 12VDC PCB Power Relay
The Omron G2RL-1 12VDC PCB power relay is a low-profile electromechanical relay designed for printed circuit board applications where dependable switching and compact height are important. It is widely used in appliance controls, HVAC systems, power control boards, and industrial electronics that require a compact relay with strong switching performance.
The G2RL family is known as a PCB power relay series. A typical 12 VDC G2RL-1 configuration uses an SPDT contact form, through-hole PCB mounting, non-latching coil operation, silver alloy cadmium-free contacts, Class F coil insulation, and flux protection. Common published data for the 12 VDC version includes 360 ohm coil resistance, 33.3 mA coil current, 8.4 VDC must-operate voltage, 1.2 VDC must-release voltage, 15 ms operate time, 5 ms release time, and operation across a broad industrial temperature range.
Omron G2RL-1 12VDC PCB Low-Profile Relay for PCB Designs
The Omron G2RL-1 12VDC is especially useful when relay height must be controlled inside a compact enclosure. Its PCB pin termination allows direct mounting onto electronic control boards, reducing the need for external sockets or panel wiring. This makes it a practical choice for embedded power switching, appliance control modules, heating and ventilation control boards, and compact electrical assemblies.

Omron G2RL-1 12VDC PCB FAQ
What is the Omron G2RL-1 12VDC used for?
It is used for PCB-based power switching in appliance controls, HVAC systems, industrial electronics, and compact control boards.
Is the Omron G2RL-1 12VDC a DIN rail relay?
No. Unlike slim interface relays, this model is intended for through-hole printed circuit board mounting.
What does SPDT mean for this relay?
SPDT means single pole double throw. It provides one changeover contact, allowing one circuit path to switch between normally open and normally closed contacts.
Is this relay latching or non-latching?
The common 12 VDC G2RL-1 version is a non-latching relay, meaning the coil must remain energized to keep the relay in its operated state.
Why is Class F coil insulation important?
Class F insulation supports reliable coil performance under demanding thermal conditions, helping the relay remain suitable for compact electronic assemblies.
Can this relay be used in HVAC control boards?
Yes. The G2RL family is commonly associated with HVAC and appliance control applications, including blower motors, dampers, and related control circuits, provided the electrical load remains within the relay’s specified ratings.
