Called the G5Q-HR range, they measure 20 x 16 x 10 above the PCB, and all of them have just one set of contacts.
The range has been designed to meet various high in-rush standards including TV-8, which has 117A in-rush testing, and breaking 8A 120Vac, said distributor Anglia, which is stocking the parts. They can also switch 3 or 5A at 277Vac (simulated electronic ballast), and 3A 277Vac 35μF for IEC60669-1.
For the TV-8 in-rush, the relays are rated for 25,000 operations at 40°C.
These are being added to Omron’s G5Q range, which until now has only had standard (‘single-side stable’) coils.
With the advent of TV-8 in-rush versions, Omron added single coil bi-stable versions (G5QU-1A-HR-HA-VH) – where impulses of opposite polarity are required to open and close the contacts – and dual-coil bi-stable versions (G5QK-1A-HR-HA-VH, with 800mW coils) – where impulses are applied to one coil to close the contact and the other coil to open the contact.
Single-side stable versions are labelled G5Q-1A-HR-HA-VH (and have 450mW coils) – these are the relays that can only switch 3A in the ‘electronic ballast’ test – while the bistable versions can handle 5A. 6,000 operation life is expected in all cases.
In all three cases, variants are available with coils designed for 3, 5, 12 or 24Vdc operation, where ‘single-side’ coil types consume approximately 400mW, single-coil bistable types 450W, and dual-coil bi-stable types 800mW.
