GUIDELINES FOR USAGE  
■ For cautions for use, please read ” GUIDELINES FOR SIGNAL RELAYS USAGE ” and ” GUIDELINES FOR  
RELAY USAGE “.  
■ Cautions for usage of GN relay  
● Latching  
● Precautions for usage of automatic insertion machine  
Set the chucking pressure of the pick-up mechanism  
by the automatic mounting machine with the pressure  
shown in table 1 to maintain the internal function of the  
relay.  
• Use latching when conditions involve continuous  
carrying current.  
• Regarding the set and reset pulse time, for the purpose  
of reliable operation under ambient temperature  
fluctuations and different operating conditions, we  
recommend setting the coil applied set and reset pulse  
time to 10 ms or more at the rated coil voltage.  
• The relay is shipped in the reset position. But jolts  
during transport or impacts during installation can  
change the reset position. It is, therefore, advisable to  
build a circuit in which the relay can be initialized ( set  
and reset ) just after turning on the power.

PRECAUTIONS FOR COIL INPUT  
■ Long term current carrying  
■
Coil connection  
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 )  
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.  
Continuous,long-term current to the coil will facilitate  
deterioration of coil insulation and characteristics due to  
heating of the coil itself. 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.  
■
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.  
■
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.  
● Operate voltage change due to coil temperature rise  
( hot start )  
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.  
In DC relays, after continuous passage of current in the  
coil, if the current is turned OFF, then immediately turned  
ON again, due to the temperature rise in the coil, the  
operate 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 ℃, 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 operate voltage and  
the operate voltage rises in accordance with the increase  
in the resistance value.  
However, for some polarized relays, this rate of change is  
considerably smaller.

NOTES  
■
Usage, Storage, and Transport Conditions  
During usage, storage, or transportation, avoid locations  
subject to direct sunlight and maintain normal temperature,  
humidity, and pressure conditions.  
The allowable specifications for environments suitable for  
usage, storage, and transportation are given below.  
1) Temperature:  
● Condensation  
Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature  
drops suddenly from a high temperature and humidity,  
or the relay and microwave device is suddenly transferred  
from a low ambient temperature to a high temperature  
and humidity.  
The allowable temperature range differs for each relay,  
so refer to the relay’s individual specifications.  
In addition, when transporting or storing relays while  
they are tube packaged, there are cases when the  
temperature may differ from the allowable range.  
In this situation, be sure to consult the individual  
specifications.  
Condensation causes the failures like insulation  
deterioration, wire disconnection and rust etc.  
Panasonic Industry Co., Ltd. does not guarantee the  
failures caused by condensation.  
The heat conduction by the equipment may accelerate  
the cooling of device itself, and the condensation may  
occur.  
2) Humidity: 5 to 85% RH  
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. )  
The humidity range varies with the temperature.  
Use within the range indicated in the graph.  
( The allowable temperature depends on the relays. )  
Humidity (% RH)  
● Icing  
Condensation or other moisture may freeze on relays  
when the temperature become lower than 0 ℃.  
This icing causes the sticking of movable portion, the  
operation delay and the contact conduction failure etc.  
Panasonic Industry Co., Ltd. does not guarantee the  
failures caused by the icing.  
The heat conduction by the equipment may accelerate  
the cooling of relay itself and the icing may occur.  
Please conduct product evaluations in the worst condition  
of the actual usage.

periods of time.  
● High temperature and high humidity  
Storage for extended periods of time ( including  
transportation periods ) at high temperature or high  
humidity levels or in atmospheres with organic gases  
or sulfide gases may cause a sulfide film or oxide film  
to form on the surfaces of the contacts and/or it may  
interfere with the functions.  
Check out the atmosphere in which the units are to be  
stored and transported.  
● Package  
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.

GUIDELINES FOR SIGNAL RELAYS USAGE  
● Storage requirements  
Since the surface-mount terminal type is sensitive to  
humidity it is packaged with tightly sealed anti-humidity  
packaging. However, when storing, please be careful of  
the following.  
4 ) The following cautionary label is affixed to the anti-  
humidity pack.  
1) Please use promptly once the anti-humidity pack is  
opened. ( within 72 hours, Max. 30 ℃ / 70% RH ).  
If left with the pack open, the relay will absorb  
moisture which will cause thermal stress when reflow  
mounting and thus cause the case to expand. As a  
result, the seal may break.  
2) If relays will not be used within 72 hours, please store  
relays in a humidity controlled desiccator or in an anti-  
humidity bag to which silica gel has been added.  
* If the relay is to be soldered after it has been exposed to excessive  
humidity atmosphere, cracks and leaks can occur.  
Be sure to mount the relay under the required mounting conditions.  
3) When relays ( which is packaged with humidity  
indicator and silica gel ) meeting one of below criteria,  
please bake ( dry ) before use.  
• When the storage conditions specified in 1) are  
exceeded.  
● 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.  
• When humidity indicator is in Ⅲ or Ⅳ status according  
to judgement standard.  
<How to judge>  
Please check humidity indicator color and decide if  
baking is necessary or not.  
Do not use any sources of silicone gas around the relay  
( Including plastic seal types ).  
●: indicate brown, ○: Other than brown ( blueish color )  
Bake treatment  
● NOx Generation  
5%  
10%  
60%  
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.

■ Cleaning  
• 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.  
• Cleaning
 
with the boiling method is recommended ( The  
temperature of cleaning liquid should be 40℃ 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 the ultrasonic  
energy.  
Doing so may deteriorate the sealing performance.  
•
Surface-mount terminal type relay is sealed type and it  
can be cleaned by immersion.  
Use pure water or alcohol-based cleaning solvent.
