Tiny Relay Adapter PCB Design
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need a straightforward PCB laid out that lets me drop-in one electromechanical relay where my existing board is laid out for another. The task is purely mechanical/electrical adaptation—no signal conditioning or extra components—just clean, reliable pin-to-pin routing so I can “hot-swap” the two relay footprints without touching the main board.
Both the Omron G6K-2F-Y DC5 and the Teledyne 712D-5/G are electromechanical relays. Unlike solid-state or reed relays, they use an electromagnetic coil to physically move mechanical contacts to switch circuits.
Specifically, they are classified as:
Low Signal / Telecom Relays: Designed for switching low-level signals (typically up to 1A).
DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw): Both have a "2 Form C" contact arrangement, meaning they can control two separate circuits, each with its own set of normally open and normally closed contacts.

Since you are using the through-hole (TH) version of the Omron relay (likely the G6K-2P series), I have adjusted the specification to reflect a "through-hole to through-hole" adapter.
Title: PCB Design: Miniature Through-Hole Adapter Board (OMRON G6K to TELEDYNE TO-5)
Project Description: I need a small PCB interposer designed to adapt a standard through-hole signal relay footprint to a circular TO-5 relay package.
Technical Specifications:
- Bottom Interface (Male/Pins): Must match the footprint of an OMRON G6K-2P-Y DC5 (Through-hole). This side will utilize pin headers or long-tail pins to plug into an existing Omron-style socket or PCB.
- Top Interface (Female/Socket): Must accept a TELEDYNE 712D-5/G (TO-5 circular 8-pin "can" package).
- Relay Type: Both components are Electromechanical DPDT Signal Relays.
- Form Factor: The adapter PCB should be only slightly larger than the Omron footprint (10mm×6.5mm).
-Pin-to-Pin Mapping: Accurate mapping of Coil (+), Coil (-), and the 6 contact pins (Common, NC, NO for two poles) is required.
- all components used >105°C rated
Deliverables:
- Gerbers BOM
- assembly drawing that labels top vs. bottom layer mapping
- the layout must already meet common 2-layer FR-4 fabrication rules so I can order immediately without tweaks.
- Altium EDA files
If you have questions about pin numbering or need the exact relay datasheets, just let me know early so we stay on track.The image attached shows a comparable PCB for which unfortunately design files were lost.
