Omron MY2N-D2 6VDC (S)

Omron MY2N-D2 6VDC (S) Miniature Power Relay

The Omron MY2N-D2 6VDC (S) miniature power relay is a low-voltage DPDT relay for applications where a 6 VDC control signal must switch separate electrical circuits. It is part of Omron’s MY relay family and is designed with plug-in terminals, LED indication, socket mounting, and a built-in diode for coil surge absorption.

Distributor technical data lists this model as a general-purpose DPDT socketable relay with a 6 VDC coil, diode feature, lighted indicator, silver contacts, plug-in termination, and non-latching operation. Reported coil values include 151 mA coil current and 39.8 ohms coil resistance, with 20 ms operate and release time.  Omron’s product overview also identifies it as a 2-pole plug-in miniature power relay with built-in diode surge absorption and operation indicator.

Where It Is Used

The Omron MY2N-D2 6VDC (S) miniature power relay is useful in low-voltage control circuits, test equipment, battery-powered systems, laboratory panels, prototype automation, and compact control assemblies. Its DPDT contact form makes it more versatile than a single-pole relay because it can switch two circuits at once or provide both normally open and normally closed outputs.

The built-in diode is particularly helpful when the relay coil is controlled by a small electronic circuit. When a relay coil is turned off, stored magnetic energy can create a reverse voltage spike. The diode helps absorb that spike, reducing stress on transistors, driver boards, and control electronics.

Omron MY2N-D2 6VDC (S) FAQ

What is the Omron MY2N-D2 6VDC (S) used for?

It is used in low-voltage switching applications where a 6 VDC control signal operates two relay contact circuits.

Is this relay suitable for electronic control boards?

Yes, if the control board can supply the required coil current. The built-in diode helps protect electronic drivers from coil surge voltage.

What does DPDT mean?

DPDT means double pole double throw. The relay can control two separate circuits, each with normally open and normally closed contact paths.

Does this relay have a visual indicator?

Yes. The LED indicator shows when the coil is energized, which is useful during installation, testing, and troubleshooting.

Why should polarity be checked?

Because this model includes a built-in diode, the coil must be connected with the correct polarity. Incorrect wiring can prevent operation or damage the driving circuit.
