Wiring and Connection Overview

The G5Q-14-DC5 features a standard 5-pin PCB layout:

  • Coil Pins: Connected to a 5V DC power supply

  • Common (COM): Central output terminal

  • NO (Normally Open): Contact closes when coil is energized

  • NC (Normally Closed): Contact opens when coil is energized

This layout allows for flexible control logic and seamless integration into circuit boards.


Use Case Scenario: Smart Thermostat Switching Relay

Scenario: A smart thermostat brand required a compact and energy-efficient relay for controlling HVAC systems.

Problem: Their existing relays consumed too much power and failed under inductive loads.

Solution: The G5Q-14-DC5 General Purpose Relays by Omron provided low-power operation with a 10A switching capacity and strong inductive load handling.

Result: Improved product reliability and lower power consumption across their device lineup.

This scenario illustrates how General Purpose Relays by Omron enhance device longevity and energy efficiency.
