Notes:
*1. Minimum switching load is a guide to the lower current limit of switching under the micro-load. This parameter is changed by the condition, such as switching times,  
environment condition, and expected reliability. Therefore, Panasonic Corporation cannot assure the reliability. When the relay is used lower than minimum  
switching load, reliability is attrition. Please use the relay over minimum switching load.  
*2. Wave is standard shock voltage of ±1.2×50μs according to JEC-212-1981  
*3. The upper limit of the ambient temperature is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. Refer to Usage, transport and storage  
conditions in NOTES.  
*4. Allowable range when in original packaging is –40°C to +70

–40°F to +158°

NOTES  
1. For cautions for use, please read  
“GENERAL APPLICATION  
GUIDELINES”.  
3.
Max. applied voltage  
It is not allowed to apply the  
continuous maximum voltage to the  
coil.  
In order to obtain the specified  
performance, please apply nominal  
coil voltage.  
2. Solder and cleaning conditions  
1) Flow solder mounting conditions  
Please obey the following conditions  
when soldering automatically.  
(1) Preheating: within 120°C
248°F  
(solder surface terminal portion)  
and within 120 seconds

Cautions to observe when

the relay are greatly dependent on  
the way different parts are located  
a PC board and the heating  
method of the reflow device.  
Therefore, please conduct testing  
on the actual device beforehand

do not clean it as is. Also, be careful  
not to allow flux to overflow above  
the PC board or enter the inside of  
the relay.

Precautions for Coil Input  
Long term current carrying  
Maximum allowable voltage and temperature rise  
Proper usage requires that the rated coil voltage be impressed on the  
coil. Note, however, that if a voltage greater than or equal to the  
maximum continuous voltage is impressed on the coil, the coil may  
burn or its layers short due to the temperature rise. Furthermore, do  
not exceed the usable ambient temperature range listed in the catalog.  
A circuit that will be carrying a current continuously for long periods  
without relay switching operation. (circuits for emergency lamps, alarm  
devices and error inspection that, for example, revert only during  
malfunction and output warnings with form B contacts)
 
Continuous,  
long-term current to the coil will facilitate deterioration of coil insulation  
and characteristics due to heating of the coil itself.  
Operate voltage change due to coil temperature rise  
(Hot start)  
For circuits such as these, please use a magnetic-hold type latching  
relay. If you need to use a single stable relay, use a sealed type relay  
that is not easily affected by ambient conditions and make a failsafe  
circuit design that considers the possibility of contact failure or  
disconnection.  
In DC relays, after continuous passage of current in the coil, if the  
current is turned OF
F
,
t
hen immediately turned ON again, due to the  
temperature rise in the coil, the pick-up voltage will become somewhat  
higher. Also, it will be the same as using it in a higher temperature  
atmosphere. The resistance/temperature relationship for copper wire  
is about 0.4% for 1°C, and with this ratio the coil resistance increases.  
That is, in order to operate of the relay, it is necessary that the voltage  
be higher than the pick-up voltage and the pick-up voltage rises in  
accordance with the increase in the resistance value. However, for  
some polarized relays, this rate of change is considerably smaller.  
DC Coil operating power  
Steady state DC current should be applied to the coil. The wave form  
should be rectangular. If it includes ripple, the ripple factor should be  
less than 5%.  
However, please check with the actual circuit since the electrical  
characteristics may vary. The rated coil voltage should be applied to  
the coil and the set/reset pulse time of latching type relay differs for  
each relays, please refer to the relay’s individual specifications.  
Coil connection  
When connecting coils of polarized relays, please check coil polarity  
(+,-) at the internal connection diagram (Schematic). If any wrong  
connection is made, it may cause
 
unexpected malfunction, like  
abnormal heat, fire and so on, and circuit do not work. Avoid  
impressing voltages to the set coil and reset coil at the same time.  
Ambient Environment  
Usage, Transport, and Storage Conditions  
Dew condensation  
During usage, storage, or transportation, avoid locations  
subjected to direct sunlight and maintain normal temperature,  
humidity and pressure conditions.  
Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature drops  
suddenly from a high temperature and humidity, or the relay is  
suddenly transferred from a low ambient temperature to a high  
temperature and humidity. Condensation causes the failures like  
insulation deterioration, wire disconnection and rust etc.  
Panasonic Corporation does not guarantee the failures caused  
by condensation.  
Temperature/Humidity/Pressure  
When transporting or storing relays while they are tube  
packaged, there are cases the temperature may differ from the  
allowable range. In this case be sure to check the individual  
specifications. Also allowable humidity level is influenced by  
temperature, please check charts shown below and use relays  
within mentioned conditions. (Allowable temperature values  
differ for each relays, please refer to the relay’s individual  
specifications.)  
The heat conduction by the equipment may accelerate the  
cooling of device itself, and the condensation may occur.  
Please conduct product evaluations in the worst condition of  
the actual usage. (Special attention should be paid when high  
temperature heating parts are close to the device. Also please  
consider the condensation may occur inside of the device.)  
Icing

Condensation or other moisture may freeze on relays when the  
temperature become lower than 0°C.This icing causes the sticking of  
movable portion, the operation delay and the contact conduction failure  
etc. Panasonic Corporation does not guarantee the failures caused by  
the icing.  
The tolerance temperature range differs for each relays,  
please refer to the relay’s individual specifications

5 to 85 % RH

GUIDELINES FOR POWER RELAYS AND HIGH-CAPACITY DC CUT OFF RELAYS USAGE  
Package  
NOx Generation  
In terms of the packing format used, make every effort to keep the  
effects of moisture, organic gases and sulfide gases to the absolute  
minimum.  
When relay is used in an atmosphere high in humidity to switch a load  
which easily produces an arc, the NOx created by the arc and the  
water absorbed from outside the relay combine to produce nitric acid.  
This corrodes the internal metal parts and adversely affects operation.  
Avoid use at an ambient humidity of 85%RH or higher (at 20°C). If use  
at high humidity is unavoidable, please contact our sales  
representative.  
Silicon  
When a source of silicone substances (silicone rubber, silicone oil,  
silicone coating materials and silicone filling materials etc.) is used  
around the relay, the silicone gas (low molecular siloxane etc.) may be  
produced.  
This silicone gas may penetrate into the inside of the relay. When the  
relay is kept and used in this condition, silicone compound may adhere  
to the relay contacts which may cause the contact failure. Do not use  
any sources of silicone gas around the relay (Including plastic seal  
types).  
Others  
Cleaning  
1) Although the environmentally sealed type relay (plastic sealed type,  
etc.) can be cleaned, avoid immersing the relay into cold liquid (such  
as cleaning solvent) immediately after soldering. Doing so may  
deteriorate the sealing performance.  
2) Cleaning with the boiling method is recommended(The temperature  
of cleaning liquid should be 40°C or lower ).  
Avoid ultrasonic cleaning on relays. Use of ultrasonic cleaning may  
cause breaks in the coil or slight sticking of the contacts due to  
ultrasonic energy.
