The Panasonic AGQ20024 is a compact GQ Series electromechanical signal relay designed for reliable switching in communication equipment, measurement systems, industrial controls and other low-level signal applications.
The relay uses a 24V DC coil and a single-side stable / non-latching operating mechanism. Its contact arrangement is 2 Form C, also commonly described as DPDT (double-pole double-throw), allowing two independent changeover circuits to be controlled simultaneously.
For resistive loads, Panasonic specifies a contact rating of 2A at 30V DC and 0.3A at 125V AC, with a maximum switching current of 2A. The minimum recommended switching capacity is approximately 10µA at 10mV DC, making the relay suitable for both ordinary switching and relatively low-level signal applications.
The AGQ20024 uses a sealed construction, helping protect the internal contact system from environmental contamination during normal PCB assembly and operation. The stationary contacts use AgPd with Au clad, while the movable contacts use AgPd, providing reliable electrical contact performance.
The rated coil operating power for this exact 24V version is 230mW. Distributor data lists a coil resistance of approximately 2.5kΩ and coil current of approximately 9.6mA. The maximum initial pick-up voltage is 75% of nominal coil voltage, corresponding to approximately 18V DC, while the drop-out specification is 10% or more of nominal voltage.
The relay provides strong electrical isolation, including 1,500Vrms withstand voltage between coil and contacts, 750Vrms between open contacts, and 1,000Vrms between the two contact sets for one minute under Panasonic’s specified test conditions.
Panasonic specifies a mechanical life of at least 50 million operations. Electrical life is at least 50,000 operations at 2A / 30V DC resistive load, and at least 100,000 operations under specified lower-load conditions.
The AGQ20024 operates over an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Its compact body measures approximately 10.6 × 7.2 × 5.2mm and weighs approximately 1g, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts.
The device uses standard through-hole PCB terminals and is supplied in tube packaging, with Panasonic specifying 50 pieces per inner package and 1,000 pieces per case.
