*3: For ambient temperature, please read ” GUIDELINES FOR RELAY USAGE “.  
*4: When using relays in a high ambient temperature, consider the operate voltage rise due to the high temperature ( a rise of approx. 0.4 % V for each 1 ℃ with 20 ℃  
as a reference ) and use a coil impressed voltage that is within the maximum applied voltage range.

GUIDELINES FOR POWER, HIGH-CAPACITY DC CUT OFF AND SAFETY RELAYS USAGE  
■ For cautions for use, please read ” GUIDELINES FOR RELAY USAGE “.  
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 ) 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.  
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.  
■ 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 %.  
●Operate voltage change due to coil temperature rise  
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.  
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.

Ambient Environment  
■ Usage, Transport, and Storage Conditions  
During usage, storage, or transportation, avoid locations  
subjected to direct sunlight and maintain normal  
temperature, humidity and pressure conditions.  
●Temperature/Humidity/Pressure  
●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.  
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. )  
●Low temperature and low humidity  
The plastic becomes brittle if the relay is exposed to a  
low temperature, low humidity environment for long  
periods of time.  
1) Temperature:  
The tolerance temperature range differs for  
each relays, please refer to the relay’s individual  
specifications  
2) Humidity: 5 to 85 % RH  
●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.

Ambient temperature (℃)  
3) Pressure: 86 to 106 kPa  
●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 sealed types ).  
●Dew condensation  
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 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.  
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. )  
●NOx Generation  
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 ℃ ). If use at high humidity is unavoidable,  
please contact our sales representative.

■ Cleaning  
• 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 ultrasonic energy.  
• 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.  
Please refer to
“the latest product specifications”  
when designing your product.
