Solid State Relay

G3MB
Low cost Subminiature PCB mounting
2 amp Single in-line package (SIP) SSR
• Bottom is approximately 3 times smaller than G3M.
• Low cost “SIP” package switches up to 2A loads.
• Built in Snubber circuit and input resistor as option.
• Two footprints available for design flexibility.
• The G3MB-202PEG-4-DC20MA crosses directly to the
Motorola M0C2A-60 series power triac.

Note: 1. For versions without input voltage specified, a current limiting resistor must be placed in series with the input. See LED drive specifications
and recommendations.
2. TUV versions available. When ordering models certified by VDE (TUV), add “-UTU” to the model number given in the above table.
