Product Information
Full details
This Omron G2RV-ST series relay is designed for engineers and technicians working with compact control panels who need reliable switching in a space-saving format. Its key benefit is the integrated socket and pre-assembled design, simplifying installation and reducing wiring time. A potential caveat is its specific 24 VAC/DC power requirement, necessitating careful power supply selection. This electromechanical interface relay features a 6mm slimline profile, SPDT contact configuration, and a 6A current rating, making it suitable for various control applications.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the G2RV-ST series?
The primary advantage is its ultra-slim 6mm width and integrated socket design, which allows for significant space savings in control panels and simplifies installation.
What type of terminals does this relay use?
The Omron G2RV-ST uses push-in terminal connections for quick and secure wiring without the need for special tools.
Can I use this relay with a 12V DC power supply?
No, this relay is specifically designed for a 24 VAC or 24 VDC coil supply. Using a 12V supply will prevent it from operating correctly.
What is the maximum current this relay can switch?
The relay contacts are rated to switch a maximum load current of 6A.
Is this relay suitable for high-power motor control?
No, with a 6A rating, it is generally suitable for control circuits, indicator lamps, or small contactor coils, but not for directly switching high-power motors.
How do I mount this relay?
The relay is designed to be mounted on a standard 35mm DIN rail.
What does SPDT mean in relation to this relay?
SPDT stands for Single Pole Double Throw. It means the relay has one set of contacts that can switch between two different circuits – a normally closed (NC) circuit and a normally open (NO) circuit.
Troubleshooting
Relay does not energize when coil voltage is applied.
Verify the coil voltage is exactly 24 VAC or 24 VDC. Check the polarity if using DC. Ensure the coil terminals are securely connected and that no other components in the control circuit are preventing power flow.
Relay contacts are stuck in one position (not switching).
Ensure the load current and voltage do not exceed the contact ratings (6A, 250V AC). Check for any physical obstruction or damage to the relay mechanism. If the issue persists, the relay may need replacement.
Intermittent operation or unreliable switching.
Check that the push-in terminals are fully engaged with the wire conductors. Verify the DIN rail mounting is secure, as a loose connection can cause issues. Ensure the operating environment is within specifications (temperature, humidity).
Short circuit or overload on the load side.
Immediately disconnect power. Inspect the load circuit for short circuits or excessive current draw. Ensure the connected device does not exceed the relay's 6A rating. Check wiring integrity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significant space-saving due to its slim 6mm width.
- Reduced installation labor with the integrated socket and pre-assembled unit.
- Tool-less wiring thanks to push-in terminals.
- Versatile operation with 24 VAC/DC coil voltage.
- Reliable switching performance for industrial control.
Cons
- Limited to a 6A current rating, not suitable for high-power loads.
- Requires a specific 24 VAC/DC power supply.
- SPDT configuration might not be sufficient for applications needing multiple normally open or normally closed contacts simultaneously.
- Replacement requires specific G2RV series socket compatibility.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Mounting: Securely attach the relay to a standard 35mm DIN rail by pressing it onto the rail until it clicks. Ensure it is firmly seated.
- Wiring: Connect the control circuit wiring to the push-in terminals on the relay socket. For the coil, connect the positive (+) and negative (-) wires (or AC phases) to the designated coil terminals (typically marked 'A1' and 'A2'). Connect the load circuit to the common, normally open, and normally closed terminals as required by the SPDT configuration.
- Power: Apply the correct 24 VAC or 24 VDC power to the coil terminals.
Compatibility:
- Coil Voltage: This relay is designed for a 24 VAC/DC coil supply. Using other voltages will result in malfunction or damage.
- Load Voltage/Current: The contacts are rated for a maximum of 250V AC and 6A. Ensure the connected load does not exceed these ratings.
- Mounting: Compatible with standard 35mm DIN rails. Use with other mounting methods may require additional hardware.
Care:
- Environment: Operate within the specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid dusty, corrosive, or excessively humid environments.
- Cleaning: If cleaning is necessary, disconnect all power and use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents or abrasive materials.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect wiring connections for security and signs of wear.
