Low Signal Relay

G6S

Precautions

• Use a DC power supply with 5% or less ripple factor to operate the coil.

• Do not use the G6S where subject to strong external magnetic fields.

• Do not use the G6S where subject to magnetic particles or excessive

amounts of dust.

• Do not reverse the polarity of the coil (+,

−).

• Latching types are delivered in the reset position. We recommend

that a reset voltage be applied in advance to start operation.

• Do not drop the G6S or otherwise subject it to excessive shock.

• Remove the relay from the packing immediately prior to usage.

■ 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.

Relay Handling

Use the Relay as soon as possible after opening the moisture-proof

package. If the Relay is left for a long time after opening the mois-

ture-proof package, the appearance may suffer and seal failure may

occur after the solder mounting process. To store the Relay after

opening the moisture-proof package, place it into the original pack-

age and sealed the package with adhesive tape.

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.

G6S (K) (-U) -2 Soldering

• Soldering temperature: Approx. 250

°C (At 260°C if the DWS

method is used.)

• Soldering time: Approx. 5 s max. (Approx. 2 s for the first time and

approx. 3 s for the second time if the DWS method is used.)

• Be sure to adjust the level of the molten solder so that the solder

will not overflow onto the PCB.

Claw Securing Force During Automatic Mounting

During automatic insertion of Relays, be sure to set the securing

force of each claw to the following so that the Relay’s characteristics

will be maintained.
