The new Omron G5RL U/K latching relays are ideal for movement control, smart meter, power line switching and PV inverter applications. Latching relays are only energized while switching and use less power than non-latching designs in most applications.

Both the G5RL-U and the G5RL-K can switch up to 16 A and are capable of dealing with inrush currents of up to 150 A. Both are offered in SPST-NO form, and are approved to a VDE standard demanding resistance to over 150 A inrush. They also carry UL TV-8, a standard that exposes components to 117 A inrush currents. The G5RL-U features a single coil while the G5RL-K has a double coil architecture.
