Omron: Industrial relay with lockable test-switch

Omron’s G2RV industrial relay series now features a patented, lockable test-switch mechanism that enables operators and engineers to test the functionality of a panel, machine or system, or to simulate an actuator when one or more modules are offline or have been removed.

The test-switch has a rotating protection cover to prevent accidental operation and to enable operators to see that the switch is protected when viewed from a distance in a hazardous environment, for example.

Said to be the only genuine slim industrial relay on the market, the 6mm-wide G2RV offers a wide array of benefits to machine manufacturers and panel builders, including durability and reliability, and is suitable for compact panels and equipment.

The G2RV relay features a strong mechanical pin with a large contact surface that helps ensure reliable connection and high conductivity between the socket and relay. The patented switch design with rotating protection cover is virtually impossible to achieve in an adapted PCB relay.

The G2RV comes with an LED indicator, mechanical flag, and transparent housing so that operating status and condition can be easily verified. It can be interfaced easily with PLCs, and with push-in terminals, wiring is both fast and reliable. A range of different models is available for switching loads up to 6A, with six coil voltages including universal current versions. The series includes relays specifically designed to reliably switch sensitive loads like input signals rated 50 mA up to 30 VAC or 36VDC. There is a choice of accessories and cables, making these relays useful for a wide variety of industrial applications.

The relay series conforms to relevant international standards, including CE, VDE, and cULus.
