Addressing Operational Uncertainty
The new relay by Omron is equipped with a mechanical status indicator, a notable advancement that improves operational accuracy as engineers and operators can easily and accurately confirm the position and the energized state of the relay without power applied to the coil. This feature, which is lacking in a number of previous relay operations, makes the MY-GS-R relay stand out, offering clarity and handling uncertainty in operation.
A Relay with Vibration-Resistant Design
In industrial environments, the occurrence of vibration is often witnessed, especially if the operating equipment is heavy machinery. These vibrations may result in the loosening of screws that may in turn cause operational problems and consequently cause equipment downtime. To address this issue, the MY-GS-R relay is equipped with vibration resistance Push-In Plus terminals that reduce the frequency of maintenance on wire terminals and reduce, by up to 60%, the wiring time of the control panel.
Optimizing Control Panel Space
Omron has also shown its commitment to providing a compact, innovative solution that saves space within the control panel by designing the MY-GS-R relay that has uniform components that save up to 50% of panel space. This gives engineers room to add more devices to the available control panel space.
Industrial Applications of the MY-GS-R relay
The MY-GS-R relay offers versatility when it comes to its application as it finds its use in a wide industrial spectrum, from the food processing industry to packaging, assembling, palletizing/ depalletizing, and material handling.
The new relay from Omron offers easy integration, being designed with a low contact resistance for high-current loads (up to 10 A resistive and 6 A inductive loads), and provides a selection of model numbers with coils rated for common industrial voltages (from 12 to 240 VAC and from 6 to 120 VDC).

Industrial Power Plug-in Relays of the Future
As the technology in industrial power relays continues to evolve, engineers are seeking effective relay solutions for their control panels that cater to the growing demand for efficiency and compactness. Emerging solutions like Omron’s MY-GS-R relay bring more advanced features that make it stand out from previous relays. From compactness to clarity of operational status, the new relay promises efficiency and may present a go-to choice for engineers across the globe for use in automated solutions.
