OMRON launches new G2RV-ST industrial 6mm relay
OMRON, the world’s largest single-brand relay manufacturer, has announced the launch of its latest industrial 6mm electromechanical relay – the G2RV-ST. This new design offers machine manufacturers and panel builders the ideal solution for compact panels and equipment, while providing all the durability and reliability required for industrial applications.
The G2RV-ST relay is a pre-assembled 6mm slim relay with an industrial pin. Its new design offers easy wire inserting thanks to an angled inclination and 2.5 mm2 wire dimensions. In addition, screw wiring with anti-loss structure and OMRON’s unique Push-In Plus technology make installation and maintenance a breeze. The larger contact surface of the industrial-quality pins does not bend during maintenance and provides excellent connection, ensuring reliability and a longer lifespan.
Testing and inspection of the relay are easy thanks to a LED that indicates when the coil is powered up, a mechanical flag that indicates the movement and position of the contacts, and a lockable test switch that allows for testing of panel, machine or system functionality. Additionally, the relay fall protection features a security lever that prevents relay misuse and keeps the relays firmly in place, preventing falls caused by external impacts.
The G2RV-ST relay features a short bar that is easy to cut and provides a physical sensation of a secure connection. Additionally, OMRON's harmonized labelling concept ensures that labels for the G2RV-ST relay and other OMRON sockets are of the most common dimensions (5x10) and are designed to be fully compatible with each other, providing a consistent and streamlined labelling solution that is both user-friendly and efficient.
“OMRON has been designing and manufacturing relays for over 50 years, and while creating the perfect relay may seem like a simple task, it's a complex process that requires the most advanced manufacturing techniques. This ensures that every component inside our relays is precisely assembled and protected from any external contaminants which could seriously compromise the reliability of the relays by affecting the switching activity. In fact, it's thanks to the high level of manufacturing know-how that enables OMRON to deliver the highest quality and reliability for our customers’ industrial relay needs". said Manuela Mazza, EMEA Product Marketing Manager for Switching Components at OMRON.
“When designing the G2RV series, we did not adapt an existing PCB relay design but instead developed a new design specifically for the G2RV relay series, making it the only slim industrial relay on the market,” Mazza continues. “The relay offers the ideal solution for machine manufacturers and panel builders looking for a compact design that does not compromise on durability or reliability. With easy wiring options, test and inspection features, and added protection against falls and misuse, the G2RV-ST is the perfect choice for industrial applications.”
The G2RV-ST relay is suitable general-purpose applications where space is at premium and small loads need to be switched, such as electromechanical valves, contactor-coils, and other small actuators. It is often seen in panels to control systems for wind turbines, packaging machines, and as an interface unit for the PLC.
