Note: P level: λ60 = 0.1 x 10–6/operation
This value was measured at a switching frequency of 120 operations/min and the criterion of contact resistance is 50 Ω. This value may vary
depending on the switching frequency and operating environment. Always double-check relay suitability under actual operating conditions.

Precautions
Precautions for Correct Use
Long-term Continuously ON Contacts
Using the Relay in a circuit where the Relay will be ON continuously
for long periods (without switching) can lead to unstable contacts
because the heat generated by the coil itself will affect the insulation,
causing a film to develop on the contact surfaces. We recommend
using a latching relay (magnetic-holding relay) in this kind of circuit. If
a single-side stable model must be used in this kind of circuit, we rec-
ommend using a fail-safe circuit design that provides protection
against contact failure or coil burnout.
Installation
Do not reverse the polarity of the coil (+, -).
Provide sufficient space between Relays when mounting two or more
on the same PCB, as shown in the following diagram.
Wiring
Refer to the following diagram when wiring to switch a DC load. The
difference in polarity applied to the contacts will affect the endurance
of the Relay due to the amount of contact movement. To extend the
endurance characteristics beyond the performance ratings, wire the
common (pin 7) terminal to the positive (+) side.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Do not use ultrasonic cleaning on standard relay models. Doing so
may result in resonance, coil burnout, and contact adhesion within
the Relay.
Relay Handling
When washing the product after soldering the Relay to a PCB, use a
water-based solvent or alcohol-based solvent, and keep the solvent
temperature to less than 40°C. Do not put the Relay in a cold clean-
ing bath immediately after soldering.
Hints on Correct Use
Single-winding type (G6EU)
Example of low-power consumption driver circuit
1. This is an example of a driver circuit that allows Model G6E to
function as a normal relay with a normal switching pulse input.
2. The relay is set by an abrupt current charged to capacity C. This
current flows in the relay via diode D1 and C and out via diode D2.
3. The relay is reset by the discharge current of C flowing in the relay
via transistor TR and C.
Note: 1. Give adequate consideration to the circuit constant when
actually using this circuit, confirming the set and reset status
of the relay.
2. OMRON owns the patent on this circuit. Consult OMRON
when using this circuit.
