Additional Details
The G6H-2-12VDC has a coil voltage of 12VDC. It is a double pole double throw (DPDT) relay, providing two independent sets of contacts that can switch two separate circuits. The contact rating specifies the maximum voltage and current that the relay contacts can safely handle. The datasheet contains detailed information on coil resistance, operate and release times, insulation resistance, and operating temperature range (typically -40°C to +85°C). Proper coil suppression (e.g., with a diode) is recommended to protect driving circuits from voltage spikes during relay deactivation.
