NOTES  
1. Coil operating power  
3) Freezing  
8) Please do not use silicon based  
substances such as silicon rubber, silicon  
oil, silicon coatings and silicon fillings, in  
the vicinity of the rela
y
.
D
oing so may  
cause volatile silicon gas to form which  
may lead to contact failure due to the  
adherence of silicon on the contacts  
when they open and close in this  
atmosphere.  
9) Please note that when switching  
contacts (latching type only), you must  
apply reset (ALL) voltage and release all  
contacts first. (SP6T type)  
Pure 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, check it with the actual circuit  
since the characteristics may be slightly  
different. The nominal operating voltage  
should be applied to the coil for more  
than 50 ms to set/reset the latching type  
rela
y
.  
Condensation or other moisture may  
freeze on the relay when the temperature  
is lower than 0°C
32°
F
. This causes  
problems such as sticking of movable  
parts or operational time lags.  
4) Low temperature, low humidity  
environments.  
The plastic becomes brittle if the relay is  
exposed to a low temperature, low  
humidity environment for long periods of  
time.  
Please use the latching type for circuits  
that are continually powered for long  
periods of time.  
5) Low-temperature and low-humidity  
atmosphere.  
10) Do not use multiple contacts  
simultaneousl
y
.
(
SP6T type)  
2. Coil connection  
When exposed to low temperature and  
low humidity for a long time, the relay’s  
plastic casing may become breakable.  
5. Other handling precautions.  
1) The relay’s on/off service life is based  
on standard test conditions (temperature:  
15 to 35°C
59 to 95°
F
, humidity: 25 to  
75%) specified in JIS C5442-1996. Life  
will depend on many factors of your  
system: coil drive circuit, type of load,  
switching intervals, switching phase,  
ambient conditions, to name a few.  
2) Use the relay within specifications  
such as coil rating, contact rating and on/  
off service life. If used beyond limits, the  
relay may overheat, generate smoke or  
catch fire.  
When connecting coils, refer to the wiring  
diagram to prevent mis-operation or  
malfunction.  
3. Connection of coil indicator and  
washing conditions  
1) The connection of coil indicator  
terminal shall be done by soldering.  
Soldering conditions  
Max. 260°C
500°F
(solder temp) within  
10sec (soldering time)  
Max. 350°C
662°F
(solder temp) within  
3sec (soldering time)  
2) This product is not sealed type,  
therefore washing is not allowed.  
4. Conditions for operation, transport  
and storage conditions  
1) Ambient temperature, humidit

use.  
–55 to +85°C
–67 to +185°F  
(2) Humidity: 5 to 85% RH  
4) Be careful to wire the relay correctl

.  
Otherwise, malfunction, overheat, fire or  
other trouble may occur.  
(Avoid freezing and condensation.)  
The humidity range varies with the  
temperature. Use within the range  
indicated in the graph below.  
(3) Atmospheric pressure: 86 to 106 kPa  
T
e
mperature and humidity range for  
usage, transport, and storage:  
5) The latching type relay is shipped in  
the reset position. But jolts during  
transport or impacts during installation  
can move it to the set 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.  
6) If a relay stays on in a circuit for many  
months or years at a time without being  
activated, circuit design should be  
reviewed so that the relay can remain  
non-excited. A coil that receives current  
all the time heats, which degrades  
insulation earlier than expected. A  
latching type relay is recommended for  
such circuits.  
7) For SMA connectors, we recommend  
a torque of 0.90
 
0.1 Nꢀm for installation,  
which falls within the prescribed torque of  
MIL-C-39012. Please be aware that  
conditions might be different depending  
on the connector materials and how it  
interacts with surrounding materials.

Condensation forms when there is a  
sudden change in temperature under  
high temperature and high humidity  
conditions. Condensation will cause  
deterioration of the relay insulation.
