Ratchet Relay
G4Q
CSM_G4Q_DS_E_3_1
Unique Ratchet Mechanism Assures Positive
Alternate Transfer/Switching Operation
• Each contact in the double-pole contact mechanism performs
alternate make-brake operation at each pulse input and is thus
ideal for alternate operation or transfer/switching operation of a
motor.
• Positive operation is assured due to the unique ratchet mecha-
nism.
• Satisfies dielectric strength of 2,000 VAC.
• Low power consumption.
(AC: approx. 6.4 VA; DC: approx. 3.9 W)

Note: 1.
The rated current and coil resistance are measured at a coil temperature of 23°C with tolerances of +15%/–20% for AC rated current and
±15%
for DC coil resistance.
2.
The AC coil resistance values are for reference only.
3.
Performance characteristic data is measured at a coil temperature of 23°C.
4.
The maximum voltage is one that is applicable instantaneously to the Relay coil at an ambient temperature of 23°C and not continuously.
5.
The AC power consumption is measured at 60 Hz.

The data shown above are initial values.
The contact resistance was measured with 0.1 A at 5 VDC using the voltage drop method.
The operate time was measured with the rated voltage imposed with any contact bounce ignored at an ambient temperature of 23°C.
The insulation resistance was measured with a 500-VDC megger applied to the same places as those used for checking the dielectric
strength.
5.
The electrical endurance was measured at an ambient temperature of 23°C.
6.
This value was measured at a switching frequency of 60 operations per minute. The value in parentheses is for the cased model.

Surface Mounting Socket
Be sure to provide a mounting space according to the width of the
Relay. The width of the Relay is 63.5 mm and the width of the Socket
is 51 mm.
■
Mounting
Mount the Relay so that the coil faces upward and the cam faces
downwards with the mounting plate secured vertically. Do not
change the cam angle.
Make sure that Relay terminals are free of flux or any other foreign
substance before soldering the Relay terminals.
