Surface Mounting Relay G6K
Surface Mounting Relay with the
World’s Smallest Mounting Area and a
Height of Only 5.2 mm
Subminiature model as small as 5.2 (H) x 6.5 (W) x
10 (L) mm is ideal for high-density mounting.
Low profile of 5.2 mm and weight of only 0.7 g
combine to improve mounting efficiency.
Models with inside-L surface mounting terminals
are available.
Consumes approximately 70% the power of a
conventional OMRON model and operates at a
current that is as low as 100 mW.
Surface mounting terminal models incorporate a
unique terminal structure with high infrared
irradiation efficiency which allows the terminal
temperature to rise easily when mounting the IRS,
thus ensuring excellent soldering.
Ensures a dielectric strength of 1,500 VAC and
conforms to FCC Part 68 (i.e., withstanding an
impulse withstand voltage of 1,500 V for 10 x
160 !s).
New-Y models offer an impulse withstand voltage
of 2,500 V for 2 x 10 !s (conforms to Bellcore
specifications) by optimizing the distance between
coil and contacts.
Conforms to UL1950 (FileNo. E41515)/CSAC22.2
No. 950 (File No. LR24825)
The above specifications are ensured as of August 1999.

Note: 1. When ordering, add the rated coil voltage to the model number.
Example: G6K-2F 12 VDC
2. When ordering tape packing, add “-TR” to the model number.
Example: G6K-2F-TR 12 VDC
Be sure since “-TR” is not part of the relay model number, it is not marked on the relay case.

Environmental Conditions During Operation, Storage, and
Transportation
ProtecttheRelayfromdirectsunlightandkeeptheRelayundernor-
mal temperature, humidity, and pressure.
If theRelay isstoredforalongtimein anadverse environment with
high temperature, high humidity, organic gases, or sulfide gases,
sulfide or oxide films will form on the contact surfaces. These films
mayresultinunstablecontact,contactproblems,orfunctionalprob-
lems. Therefore,operate,store,ortransporttheproductunderspe-
cified environmental conditions.
Latching Relay Mounting
Make sure that the vibration or shock that is generated from other
devices, such as relays in operation, on the same panel and im-
posed on the Latching Relay does not exceed the rated value,
otherwisetheLatchingRelaythathasbeensetmaybereset orvice
versa. The Latching Relay is reset before shipping. If excessive
vibrationor shock is imposed, however, the Latching Relay may be
set accidentally. Be sure to apply a reset signal before use.
Maximum Allowable Voltage
Themaximumallowablevoltageofthecoilcanbeobtainedfromthe
coiltemperatureincreaseandtheheat-resistingtemperatureofcoil
insulating sheath material. (Exceeding the heat-resisting tempera-
ture may result in burning or short-circuiting.) The maximum allow-
able voltage also involves important restrictions which include the
following:
%Must not cause thermal changes in or deterioration of the
insulating material.
%Must not cause damage to other control devices.
%Must not cause any harmful effect on people.
%Must not cause fire.
Therefore, be sure to use the maximum allowable voltage beyond
the value specified in the catalog.

ceeding the rated value, however, can be applied to the coil pro-
videdthatthevoltageislessthanthemaximumallowablevoltage.It
must be noted that continuous voltage application to the coil will
