Notes: *1. This value can change due to the switching frequency, environmental conditions, and desired reliability level, therefore it is recommended to check this with the
actual load.
*2. Wave is standard shock voltage of ±1.2×50µs according to JEC-212-1981
*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temper ature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. Ref er to “Usage, tr ansport and storage
conditions” in NOTES.

Usage, transport and storage
conditions
1) Temperature:
–40 to +85°C –40 to +185°F
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.
3) Atmospheric pressure: 86 to 106 kPa
Temperature and humidity range for
usage, transport, and storage 4) 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.
5) Freezing
Condensation or other moisture may
freeze on the relay when the
temperatures is low er than 0°C 32°F. This
causes problems such as sticking of
movable parts or operational time lags.
6) 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.
