In case of a contact welding, the other keeps a min. 0.5mm .020inch contact gap. * Independent operation contacts (4 Form A 4 Form B) There are 4 points of forced operation contacts. Each pair of contacts is free from the main armature and is independent from each other. So if a N.O. pair of contacts are welded, the other 3 N.O. contacts are not effected (operate properly) That enables to plan a circuit to detect welding or go back to the beginning condition. * Separated chamber structure (2 Form A 2 Form B, 4 Form A 4 Form B) N.O. and N.C. side contacts are put in each own space surrounded with a card and a body-separater. That prevents short circuit between contacts, which is caused by their springs welding or damaged. * High breakdown voltage 2,500 Vrms between contacts and coil * High sensitivity Realizes thin shape and high sensitivity (500 mW nominal operating power) by utilizing high-efficiency polarized magnetic circuit with 4-gap balanced armature. * Complies with safety standards Standard products are UL, CSA, TUV and SEV certified. Comform to European standards. TUV certified (945/EL, 178/ 88). Complies with SUVA European standard. SPECIFICATIONS Contact Contact arrangement Initial contact resistance, max.

It is easy to make weld detection circuits and safety circuits in the design to ensure safety even if contacts weld. Internal Contacts Weld If the internal contacts (No. 2, 3, 6, and 7) weld of 4a4b type, the armature becomes non-operational and the contact gaps of each of the four form "a" contacts are maintained at greater than 0.5 mm .020 inch. Reliable isolation is thus ensured. The 2a2b type operates in the same way. No.8 No.1 No.8 No.1 No.7 No.2 No.7 No.2 No.6 No.3 No.6 No.3 No.5 No.4 No.5 No.4 Non-energized If the No. 2 contact welds. Each of the four form "a" contacts (No. 1, 3, 5, and 7) maintains a gap of greater than 0.5 mm .020 inch. Energized (when no. 2 contact is welded) External Contacts Weld If the external contacts (No. 1, 4, 5, and 8) weld of 4a4b type, gaps of greater than 0.5 mm .020 inch are maintained between adjacent contacts and the other contacts return by an non-energized. No.8 No.1 No.8 No.1 No.7 No.2 No.7 No.2 No.6 No.3 No.6 No.3 No.5 No.4 No.5 No.4 Energized Non-energized (when no. 1 contact is welded) If external connections are made in series. Even if one of the contacts welds, the other contacts operate independently and the contact gaps are maintained at greater than 0.5 mm .020 inch. If the No. 1 contact welds. The adjacent No. 2 contact maintains a gap of greater than 0.5 mm .020 inch. The other contacts, because the coil is not energized, return to their normal return state; each of form "a" contacts (No. 3, 5, and 7) maintains a contact gap of greater than 0.5 mm .020 inch; each of the form "b" contacts (No. 4, 6, and 8) return to a closed state. Weld Energized Contact gap min 0.5 mm .020 inch Non-energized Contact Operation Table The table below shows the state of the other contacts. In case of form "a" contact weld the coil applied voltage is 0 V. In case of form "b" contact weld the coil applied voltage is nominal.

If the contact transfer is caused by load switching, it is necessary to check the actual loading. 7 NOTES 2/19/2003 (2) High-frequency load-operating When high-frequency opening and closing of the relay is performed with a load that causes arcs at the contacts, nitrogen and oxygen in the air is fused by the arc energy and HNO3 is formed. This can corrode metal materials. Three countermeasures for these are listed here. 1. Incorporate an arc-extinguishing circuit. 2. Lower the operating frequency 3. Lower the ambient humidity 3) For secure operations, the voltage applied to the coil should be nominal voltage. In addition, please note that pickup and drop-out voltage will vary according to the ambient temperature and operation conditions. 4) Heat, smoke, and even a fire may occur if the relay is used in conditions outside of the allowable ranges for the coil ratings, contact ratings, operating cycle lifetime, and other specifications. Therefore, do not use the relay if these ratings are exceeded. Also, make sure that the relay is wired correctly. 5) Incorrect wiring may cause unexpected events or the generation of heat or flames. 6) Check the ambient conditions when storing or transporting the relays and devices containing the relays. Freezing or condensation may occur in the relay, causing functional damage. Avoid subjecting the relays to heavy loads, or strong vibration and shocks. 6. Usage, transport and storage conditions 1) Ambient temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure during usage, transport, and storage of the relay: (1) Temperature: -40 to +70C -40 to +158F (2) Humidity: 5 to 85% RH (Avoid freezing and condensation.) The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the range indicated in the graph below. ;;;;;;;;;; ; ;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;; 1. Coil operating power 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. 2. Coil connection When connecting coils, refer to the wiring diagram to prevent mis-operation or malfunction. 3. Cleaning For automatic cleaning, the boiling method is recommended. Avoid ultrasonic cleaning which subjects the relays to high frequency vibrations, which may cause the contacts to stick. It is recommended that a fluorinated hydrocarbon or other alcoholic solvents be used. 4. Soldering We recommend the following soldering conditions 1) Automatic soldering 1) Preheating: 100C 212F, max. 60 s 2) Soldering: 250C 482F, max. 5 s 5. Others 1) If the relay has been dropped, the appearance and characteristics should always be checked before use. 2) The cycle lifetime is defined under the standard test condition specified in the JIS* C 5442-1986 standard (temperature 15 to 35C 59 to 95F, humidity 25 to 85%). Check this with the real device as it is affected by coil driving circuit, load type, activation frequency, activation phase,ambient conditions and other factors. Also, be especially careful of loads such as those listed below. (1) When used for AC load-operating and the operating phase is synchronous. Rocking and fusing can easily occur due to contact shifting. Humidity, %R.H. 85 Tolerance range (Avoid freezing when (Avoid used at temperatures condensation when lower than 0C 32F) used at temperatures higher than 0C 32F) 5 -40 -40 0 +32 Temperature, C F +70 +158 (3) Atmospheric pressure: 86 to 106 kPa Temperature and humidity range for usage, transport, and storage: 2) Condensation 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. 3) Freezing Condensation or other moisture may freeze on the relay when the temperatures is lower than 0C 32F. 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.
