General Purpose Relay G7J 321
General Purpose Relay
G7J
Ideal for 3-phase motor control applications and resistive
and inductive loads.
No contact chattering for momentary voltage drops up to
50% of rated voltage.
Withstands more than 4 kV between contacts that are of
different polarity and between the coil and contacts.
Flame-resistant materials (UL94V-0) used for all insulation.
Push-to-test button on all models lets user check contact
operation.
Class B coil insulation available.
Ordering Information
To Order: Select the part number and add the desired coil voltage rating (e.g., G7J-3A1B-B-AC100/120).
Note: The G7J-B and G7J-T relays require a W-bracket for mounting. Order the bracket separately below. To order a relay and bracket packed
together, add “-W1” to the part number before the coil voltage suffix. For example, G7J-2A2B-B-W1-AC100/120. Consult Omron for available
versions.

Note: 1. The rated current and coil resistance are measured at a coil temperature of 23°C (73°F) with tolerances of +15%/-20% for AC rated cur-
rent and ±15% for DC coil resistance. Performance characteristic data are measured at a coil temperature of 23°C (73°F).
2. The values given for AC rated current apply at 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
Characteristics
Note: 1. Data shown are of initial value.
2. The contact resistance was measured with 1 A at 5 VDC using the voltage drop method.
3. The operate and release times were measured with the rated voltage imposed and with any contact bounce ignored at an ambient
temperature of 23°C.
4.
The insulation resistance was measured with a 500-VDC megger applied to the same places as those used for checking the dielectric strength.

Precautions
Handling
To preserve performance, do not drop or otherwise subject the G7J
relay to shock.
The case is not designated to be removed during normal handling
and operation. Doing so may affect performance.
Use the power relay in a dry environment free from excessive dust,
SO2, H2S, or organic gas.
Do not allow a voltage greater than the maximum allowable coil
voltage to be applied continuously.
Do not use the relay outside of specified voltages and currents.
Do not allow the ambient operation temperature to exceed the
specified limit.
Microloads
The G7J is used for switching power loads. Do not use the G7J for
switching minute loads, such as signals.
Installation
Although there are not specific limits on the installation site, it should
be as dry and dust-free as possible.
PCB terminal-equipped relays weigh approximately 140 g. Be sure
that the PCB is strong enough to support them. OMRON recom-
mends dual-side through-hole PCBs to reduce solder cracking from
heat stress.
Mount the G7J with its test button facing downwards. The relay may
malfunction due to shock if the test button faces upwards. Be careful
not to press the test button by mistake, because the contacts will
actuate (ON) if the test button is pressed.
If the normal mounting direction is not used, carbides or powder from
contact abrasion that results from load switching will accumulate
inside the relay. If the relay is used past its endurance in this state,
insulation failure between circuits of different polarity or relay burning
may occur.
Be sure to use the test button for test purposes only. The test button
is used for relay circuit tests, such as a circuit continuity test. Do not
attempt to switch the load with the test button.
If a voltage is applied to the coil, the test button will retract in an ON
state (i.e., an excited state).
Soldering PCB Terminals
Be sure to solder the PCB terminals manually only. In the case of
automatic soldering, some flux may stick to the test button and the
relay. As a result, the G7J may malfunction.
Cleaning PCB Terminals
PCB terminals have semi-sealed construction which prevents flux
from penetrating into the relay base housing due to capillary action.
This type of relay cannot be immersed for cleaning. Do not wash with
any water or detergent.
Connection
Refer to the diagram below when connecting a wire to the screw ter-
minals on G7J.
Allow suitable slack on leads when wiring, and do not subject the ter-
minals to excessive force. Tighten the screw terminals to a torque of
0.78 to 1.18 N-m.
Quick-connect Terminals
Do not impose excessive external force on the G7J in the horizontal
or vertical directions when inserting the G7J to the quick-connect ter-
minals or when removing the terminals from the G7J. Do not attempt
to insert or pull out more than one terminal at a time.

328 General Purpose Relay G7J
Coil Internal Circuit
If a transistor drives the G7J, then check the leakage current and connect a bleeder resistor if necessary.
AC operating coil
The G7J incorporates a bridge rectifier circuit in the AC coil versions
that prevents contact chatter or dropout during a voltage drop. This
circuit allows the relays to withstand, with no vibration or shock, volt-
age drops to the coil of up to 50% of the rated coil voltage for one
second maximum.
If a triac, such as an SSR, drives the G7J, the G7J may not release.
Use a Power MOS FET in this case.
DC operating coil
As a rule, either a DC battery or a DC power supply with a maximum
of 5% ripple must be used for the operating voltage for DC relays.
Before using a rectified AC supply, confirm that the ripple is not
greater than 5%. Ripple greater than this can lead to variations in the
operating and reset voltages. As excessive ripple can generate
pulses, the insertion of a smoothing capacitor is recommended as
shown below.
E max.:Maximum ripple
E min.:Minimum ripple
E mean:Mean DC voltage value
When driving the coil with a transistor, check the leakage current and
connect a bleeder resistor if necessary.
