Has anyone got a fritzing part for the G6K-2F-Y (SOP) and G6K-2P-Y (DIP) Relays?
I found an Omron part but it’s a standard 2.54 pitch (non -Y) - but every relay I can find available on AliExpress is the -Y version which has slightly different pin spacing!
PDF Datasheet here: https://omronfs.omron.com/en_US/ecb/products/pdf/en-g6k.pdf
A google search of the form “fritzing part G6K-2F-Y” says there is one here:
Peter
I already checked that part, that’s actually the non “-Y” version using 2.54mm pitch, incorrectly labelled as -Y
I assume you are using the THT version rather than SMD?
Peter
The part in the post you referenced doesn’t have any other G6K variants. It’s simply the G6K-2P version - 2.54mm pitch THT.
The -Y variants have:
“Between Coil-Contact Terminal 3.2 mm
Between Contact Terminal 2.2 mm pitch”
For my current project I will be using THT yes but other projects I may use SMD
If you can use SMD, the relay-G6K-2F-Y-DC5V.fzpz part in the referenced post should do you as it matches the footprint of the G6K-2F-Y SMD version.
Peter
Hmmm, when I check the variants of the part you reference, there’s no SMD version with the correct footprint for me!
I’ll delete it, re-download and re-add it and see if that works
EDIT: Nope - I don’t see an SMD version. “Variant 3” is the only one that is the G6K - all the others variant choices are different relays entirely
There’s no package / variant combo that works for me or gives me an SMD version
Looks like my Fritzing got muddled (or my senior brain did) - I apparently have 2 G6K relays in my parts bins but I thought I only had 1. What ever that other one was, it was not the one imported from your reference link! Somehow I got in a right muddle there!!
I have now found the SMD version after I removed what I thought was the only G6K I had in the bins, tried to re-add it and it wouldn’t let me saying it still existed (after a program restart) - I then searched all bins and found that one - that correctly has your name in the metadata, whereas the one seen in my pcb screenshot in previous posts had a different name in the metadata so obviously a different part.
Yeesh, sometimes I annoy myself so much ha!
A THT version would still be handy as it saves me adding loads of vias but I can still do it for this project 
Thanks for your patience with me there!
It is easy enough to do a tht version of the part. The layout is much the same. It is possible the first part you have is the tht version referenced in the same post, it is someone else’s on github and is tht although I didn’t look at it closely to see if it was right I’ll make a tht version and post it in a bit.
Peter
You’re absolutely correct, the github one by ‘houtbrion’ was the one I was using that is THT 2.54mm pitch! Ooof I’m such an idiot! What’s worse is I can now see I had already downloaded both the github one and your one 2 weeks ago, I must’ve got distracted and got myself in a muddle and not realised clearly.
Out of curiosity, since you seem well versed in Fritzing, or at least enjoy it and the parts creation etc - does that mean you have good knowledge of PCB Design as well? I always see “arguments” about right angles in PCB traces but I gather the general consensus these days, technology being much more advanced than 20 years ago, is that for hobbyist stuff or even non mission critical that doesn’t have any highly sensitive signal stuff should be fine - I’m curious as to your opinion?
I’ve never used the 45 degree angles you see often in KiCAD/Eagle/EasyEDA designs etc but I’ve also never had an issue (that I know of) in the years of doing random PCBs with right angles etc
Here is the tht part
relay-G6K-2P-Y-DC5V.fzpz (5.0 KB)
As to traces at 45 degrees, it only really matters with rf and for EMI suppression, so for hobby use right angle is fine. I do 45 degrees simply because it is best practice and is easy to do.
Peter
Awesome, thank you so much!
Ah that’s fair enough. Good to know too, thanks for the input/info
Edit: @vanepp I think the pin designation and the dot marker needs rotating 180.
The ‘top’ 2 pins that have the 3.2mm spacing to the next pins are the coil + and -.
(Unless I’m misreading the datasheet)
I can easily edit and reupload though now that the main layout is done
I’m using 3v version on my PCB - touch wood though I think this is the correct layout for THT now
G6K-2P-Y-DC3V.fzpz (6.3 KB)
I think the original one is correct as the data sheet is shown bottom view but Fritzing uses top view so needs to be inverted (I assumed vertically since that makes the pins in the correct order although it could be horizontal, that seems unlikely.)
Peter
oof, I tell you what, the longer I look at that data sheet the more confused I get!
The first pins with the 3.2mm space to next pins are def the coil according to the Orientation Mark (meaning your black dot is on the wrong pin) - I will double check when I have the THT version in my hand. Currently awaiting delivery - takes about a week normally from AliExpress
