Omron G8b-201-01 ^hot^ [VERIFIED · ANTHOLOGY]

A: No. This relay is rated for DC only (75V max). Do not use on AC mains voltage. For AC, look at Omron’s G2R or G5LE series.

Omron uses a silver alloy (typically AgSnO₂ - Silver Tin Oxide) for the contacts. Silver tin oxide is superior to pure silver because it resists arc-induced transfer and welding. This material is specifically chosen for DC loads, where arcing is more sustained than with AC loads. omron g8b-201-01
