Miniature Power Relay
G4A
Miniature Power Relay
G4A
� High switching capacity from normally open contact loop
terminal construction.
� Miniature power relay ideal for motor switching in appliances
and HVAC equipment.
� Designed specifically for high inrush compressor loads.
� Space-saving design.
� Semi-sealed construction, standard.
� Standard versions approved by UL, CSA, and VDE.
Ordering Information
To Order: Select the part number and add the desired coil voltage rating, (e.g., G4A-1A-E-DC12).
