Driving a 5V relay with NI USB 6216/6218

Hello,

 

I was wondering if it could be possible to use a 5V relay to switch 24V to a solenoid using either USB 6126 or 6218. I'm using a A5W-K relay, so the ~5V ~50mA digital output to me should be enough. So could I just plug the relay coil to the digital output and ground, and control the relay switch via LabVIEW this way? Or do I need to place a transistor or an octo-coupler in between?

I have both 6216 and 6218 at my disposal so a solution with either of those would be most preferable.

 

Here is a link to the relay datasheet.

 

 

Br,

 

Jack
