4. Connect the coil terminals (13/14) to the control power supply (note the polarity of DC coils).
5. Connect the contact terminals to the load circuit:

Normally Open (لا) Contacts: Closed when the coil is energized.

Normally Closed (نورث كارولاينا) Contacts: Closed when the coil is de-energized.

Common (COM) Terminals: Serve as the center for contact switching.

3. Surge Suppression Recommendations

Since the MY4N-GS-R has no built-in surge suppression component, it is recommended to connect a surge suppressor in parallel across inductive loads:

– DC Loads: Connect a freewheeling diode in parallel (reverse connection).

– AC Loads: Connect an RC snubber circuit or a varistor in parallel.

سابعا. Precautions for Use

1. The coil voltage must match the control power supply to avoid burnout due to overvoltage or failure to operate due to undervoltage.
2. The contact load shall not exceed the rated value; inductive loads require additional surge protection.
3. Avoid severe impact or vibration on the relay during installation.
4. Regularly check the working status of the mechanical indicator and LED indicator light to ensure the normal operation of the relay.
5. Distinguish between coil terminals and contact terminals during wiring to prevent short-circuit faults.

With the characteristics of 4 sets of changeover contacts, 6A rated load, wide temperature adaptability, and high reliability, Omron MY4N-GS-R miniature power relay is widely used in various industrial control and electrical circuits. The specific application scenarios are as follows:

1. PLC Output Interface Expansion in Industrial Automation

This is the core application scenario. PLC output ports have low load capacity and cannot directly drive high-power or high-voltage loads such as contactors, solenoid valves, and indicator lights. Using MY4N-GS-R as an intermediate relay, the PLC’s weak signal (على سبيل المثال, DC24V) can control the relay coil, and then the relay’s 4 sets of contacts can synchronously drive multiple external loads, realizing signal amplification and circuit isolation to avoid burnout of the PLC output module due to overload.

2. Signal Transmission and Interlock in Motor Control Circuits

In motor start-stop, forward-reverse control circuits, MY4N-GS-R can act as an intermediate link to realize control signal transfer and safety interlock. على سبيل المثال, its normally closed contacts are connected in series in the reverse control circuit to prevent simultaneous triggering of motor forward and reverse commands; or multiple sets of contacts are used to synchronously control the motor’s running indicator light and fault alarm device.

3. Actuator Driving in Temperature Control Systems

It can be used in conjunction with temperature controllers (على سبيل المثال, Liuzhou Yatai CH102FE02-M): the solid-state output terminal (DC24V) of the temperature controller is connected to the coil of MY4N-GS-R, and the relay contacts are connected to high-power actuators such as heaters and cooling fans. This not only solves the problem of insufficient load capacity of the temperature controller output but also protects the core circuit of the temperature controller through electrical isolation.

4. Signal Conversion and Voltage Level Matching

It is suitable for the connection scenarios of circuits with different voltage levels. على سبيل المثال, converting a low-voltage DC control signal (DC24V) into an AC high-voltage output (تيار متردد 220 فولت) to drive an AC contactor; or vice versa, using an AC control signal to control a DC load to realize cross-voltage level signal transmission.

5. Safety Protection and Monitoring Circuits

In equipment emergency stop, الزائد, and short-circuit protection circuits, MY4N-GS-R can transmit fault signals. على سبيل المثال, when a thermal relay detects motor overload, its contacts trigger the relay coil, and the relay’s multiple sets of contacts can simultaneously cut off the motor main circuit, light up the fault indicator light, and send an alarm signal to the control room.

6. Building Automation and Security Systems

Used for controlling building equipment such as lighting, air conditioners, and access control. على سبيل المثال, controlling the on-off of lighting circuits through relay contacts, or synchronously triggering multiple actions such as audible and visual alarms, access control locking devices, and surveillance video activation in security alarm systems.

7. Signal Amplification of Instruments and Meters

For weak signals output by various sensors or detection instruments, MY4N-GS-R can convert them into strong electrical signals to drive recorders, alarms, and other equipment, ensuring stable signal transmission without interference.
