Omron G2RV-ST500 12VDC Slim I/O Relay Technical Overview

The Omron G2RV-ST500 12VDC slim I/O relay is built for compact control systems that require reliable low-voltage DC switching. With its slim relay body, integrated socket, and Push-In Plus terminal structure, it is well suited for machine builders, automation panels, test equipment, and compact electrical assemblies.

Technical Specification Highlights

This model operates with a 12VDC coil and has a coil current of 27.9 mA. It uses an SPDT contact form and Ag alloy contacts. The contact rating includes 250VAC 6 A for resistive loads and 30VDC 6 A for resistive loads, making it practical for many signal and control applications. It also includes LED and mechanical indication for quick status recognition.

Design Benefits

The Omron G2RV-ST500 12VDC slim I/O relay helps reduce wiring time through Push-In Plus terminals. This is useful in control cabinets where many relay channels must be wired neatly and consistently. Its slim form also helps engineers create cleaner panel layouts without sacrificing accessibility.

The transparent housing and operating indicators provide immediate visual feedback. In real maintenance environments, this can help technicians identify whether a relay is energized without removing components or performing unnecessary measurements.

Application Areas

This relay is suitable for PLC interfaces, signal isolation, small actuator control, alarm circuits, machine safety support circuits, and low-voltage control systems. The 12VDC coil makes it relevant for equipment that uses compact DC power supplies or battery-supported control architectures.
