Ultra-thin Low Signal Relay
G6L
Extremely Thin SPST-NO Flat Relay, One
of the Thinnest Relays in the World
• For high-density mounting and slim finished packaging,
G6L uses 20% less mounting area and 67% less volume in
comparison with the G5V-1 relay.
• Measures just 7.0 (W) x 10.6 (L) x 4.2 (H) mm for surfacemount or 3.8 (H) for through-hole.
• High dielectric strength: 1,000 VAC between coil and
contacts and 750 VAC between contacts of the same
polarity.
• Conforms to FCC Part 68 impulse withstand voltage rating
of 1.5kV for 10 x 160 µs.
• Conforms to UL60950 (File No. E41515) / CSA C22.2 No.
60950 (File No. LR31928).
• Use of lead completely eliminated.

2. Values in parentheses are actual values.
3. The insulation resistance was measured with a 500-VDC Megger Tester applied to the same parts as those used for checking the dielectric strength.
4. This value was measured at a switching frequency of 120 operations/min. This value may vary, depending on switching frequency, operating conditions, expected reliability level of the relay, etc. It is always recommended to double-check relay suitability under actual load
conditions.

Precautions
■ Correct Use
Maximum Voltage
Handling
Leave the Relays packed until just prior to mounting them.
Soldering
The maximum voltage of the coil can be obtained from the coil temperature increase and the heat-resisting temperature of coil insulating sheath material. (Exceeding the heat-resisting temperature may
result in burning or short-circuiting). The maximum voltage also
involves important restrictions which include the following:
Soldering temperature: Approx. 250ºC (At 260ºC if the DWS method
is used.)
• Must not cause thermal changes in or deterioration of the insulating
material.
• Must not cause damage to other control devices.
• Must not cause any harmful effect on people.
• Must not cause fire.
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.)
Therefore, be sure not to exceed the maximum voltage specified in
the catalog.
Be sure to adjust the level of the molten solder so that the solder will
not overflow onto the PCB.
As a rule, the rated voltage must be applied to the coil. A voltage
exceeding the rated value, however, can be applied to the coil provided that the voltage is less than the maximum voltage. It must be
noted that continuous voltage application to the coil will cause a coil
temperature increase thus affecting characteristics such as electrical
life and resulting in the deterioration of coil insulation.
Solder: JIS Z3282, H63A
Claw Securing Force During Automatic
Insertion
During automatic insertion of Relays, make sure to set the securing
force of the claws to the following values so that the Relay characteristics will be maintained.

Coating
Relays mounted on PCBs may be coated or washed. Do not apply
silicone coating or detergent containing silicone, otherwise the silicone coating or detergent may remain on the surface of the Relays.
Direction A: 5.0 N max.
Direction B: 5.0 N max.
Direction C: 5.0 N max.
Secure the claws to the area indicated by shading.
Do not attach them to the center area or to only part of the
Relay.
Environmental Conditions During
Operation, Storage, and Transportation
Protect the Relays from direct sunlight and keep the Relays under
normal temperature, humidity, and pressure.
