It is rated for use at temperatures up to 105C, which is 20C higher than standard parts.

The G2RL-1A-E-CV is also claimed to offer good switching performance with longer electrical endurance of up to 100,000 operations switching 16A at 250VAC at 105C.

Initially released in SPST-NO open form, TTi expects Omron to release the higher-temperature versions in SPDT type and to offer normally closed (NC) versions.

Available in 24 different models, Omron's G2RL PCB relay family is suitable for ovens, washing machines, boilers and HVAC equipment.

The high-sensitivity type, G2RL-H, has a coil sensitivity of 250MW and is available with a UL 1446 Class F coil insulation system.
