ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE

MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE AND LIFE

1. Insulation Resistance

The resistance value between all mutually isolated conducting 
sections of the relay, i.e. between coil and contacts, across open 
contacts and between coil or contacts to any core or frame at 
ground potential. This value is for the relay alone, and does not 
take into consideration the solder land on the PC board or other 
factors.
(1) Between contact and coil: between all contact terminals and 
coil terminals
(2) Between open contacts: between open contact terminals
(3) Between contact sets: between contact sets terminals

2. Dielectric Strength

When a high voltage is applied for 1 minute at the same points 
where insulated resistance is measured, the limit value for non-
occurrence of dielectric breakdown. Leakage current is usually 
set at 10 mA. In special cases, however, it may be set at 1 mA or 
3 mA.

3. Operate (Set) Time

The elapsed time from the initial application of power to the coil, 
until the closure of the Form A (normally open) contacts. This 
time does not include any bounce time.

4. Release (Reset) Time

The elapsed time from the initial removal of coil power until the 
reclosure of the Form B (normally closed) contacts. This time 
does not include any bounce time. Or, for relays with only 
Form A contact (1 Form A, 2 Form A), the time taken until the 
contact opens.

5. Contact Bounce (Time)

Generally expressed in time (ms), this refers to the intermittent 
switching phenomenon of the contacts which occurs due to the 
collision between the movable metal parts or contacts, when the 
relay is operated or released.

Shock resistance is categorized as either functional shock or 
destructive shock, which are defined below.

1) Functional

The shock which can be tolerated by the relay during operation, 
without causing the closed contacts to open for more than the 
specified time. The contact opening time itself is specified as 10 

μ

s or less.

2) Destructive

The shock which can be withstood by the 
relay during shipping, installation or use 
without it suffering damage, and without 
causing a change in its operating 
characteristics.
Testing is carried out with shock forces 
applied along each of the three axial 
directions.

2. Vibration Resistance

Vibration resistance is categorized as either functional vibration 
or destructive vibration, which are defined below.

1) Functional

The vibration which can be tolerated by the relay during service, 
without causing the closed contacts to open for more than the 
specified time. Here, the contact opening time value, is the same 
as for functional shock.

2) Destructive

The vibration which can be withstood by 
the relay during shipping, installation or 
use without it suffering damage, and 
without causing a change in its operating 
characteristics. Testing is carried out with 
vibratory forces applied along each of 
the three axial directions.

3. Mechanical Life

The number of times the relay can be operated under nominal 
conditions with no load on the contacts.

4. Electrical Life

The number of times the relay can be operated under nominal 
conditions with a specific load being switched by the contacts.

5. Maximum Switching Frequency

This refers to the maximum switching frequency which satisfies 
the mechanical life or electrical life under repeated operations by 
applying a pulse train at the rated voltage to the operating coil.

Cautions for Use

–22–

ASCTB302E   201709-T

Cautions for Use

1. Before using relays under any operating condition other 
than those listed in the catalog, please inquire our sales 
representative. After checking the specifications requested 
by your company, we will check the operating conditions in 
an actural environment as required.

2. Before using relays, please check “Automotive Relays 
Users Guide”.

3. Switching life data are based on the standard testing 
condition (temperature 15

°

C to 35

°

59

°

F to 95

°

F

, humidity 

25%RH to 85%RH) specified by JIS C 5442. Switching life 
varies by coil drive circuit, load type, ambient environment, 
etc. Please check performance using an actual presumptive 
operating environment, or inquire our sales representative.

4. Dropping a relay could cause a functional disorder. Do 
not use a relay that has been dropped.

5. Coil drive current must be pure DC current, as a rule. If 
the current includes ripples, the ripple factor should be less 
than 5%. However, check it with an actual circuit since the 
characteristics may differ slightly. Power waveform must be 
rectangular, as a rule.

6. The case is designed not to be removed in normal 
handling. Do not remove the case for product performance 
maintenance.

7. Relays generate failures with certain probability. 
Durability also varies by operating environment and 
condition. When using relays, always check performance 
with an actual circuit and operating environment. Continued 
operation with deteriorated performance could generate 
abnormal heat, smoke, or fire due to deteriorated insulation. 
In order to avoid human accident, fire accident or public 
harm as a result of a product failure or end-of-life 
performance, appropriate safety designs such as redundant 
design, fire spread prevention design and malfunction 
prevention design must be implemented together with 
scheduled maintenance.

8. Use of relays in normal temperature and humidity 
conditions with less dust and organic gas is recommended. 
Use of silicone-based resin around a relay must be 
absolutely avoided. For more details, please refer to 
“Automotive Relays Users Guide”.

condition

1. Confirmation 

under the 
actual use

The rated switching power and life mentioned in the specification and catalog are given only as guides. 
A relay may encounter a variety of ambient conditions during actual use resulting in unexpected failure. 
Therefore, it is necessary for proper use of the relay to test and review with actual load and actual 
application under actual operating conditions.

2. Safety 

precautions

1. Specification 

range

Use that exceeds the specification ranges such as the coil rating, contact rating and expected life 
should be absolutely avoided. Doing so may lead to abnormal heating, smoke, and fire.

2. Installation, 

maintenance

Never touch energized parts when power is applied to the relay. Doing so may cause electrical shock. 
When installing, maintaining, or troubleshooting a relay (including connecting parts such as terminals 
and sockets), be sure that the power is turned off.

3. Connection

When connecting terminals, please follow the internal connection diagrams in the catalog to ensure 
that connections are done correctly. Be warned that an incorrect connection may lead to unexpected 
operation error, abnormal heating, and fire.

4. Fail-safe

If there is a possibility that adhesion, contact failure, or breaking of wire could endanger assets or 
human life, please make sure that a fail-safe system is equipped in the vehicle.

3. Selection of 

relay type

1. Selection

In order to use the relays properly, the characteristics of the selected relay should be well known, and 
the conditions of use of the relay should be investigated to determine whether they are matched to the 
environmental conditions, and at the same time, the coil specification, contact specification, and the 
ambient conditions for the relay that is actually used must be fully understood in advance.

4. Load, 

Electrical life

1. General

Contact performance is significantly influenced by voltage and current values applied to the contacts 
(in particular, the voltage and current waveforms at the time of application and release), the type of 
load, frequency of switching, ambient atmosphere, contact switching speed, and of bounce, which lead 
the various other damages such as unsuitable operation contact transfer, welding, abnormal wear, 
increase in contact resistance. Therefore, please confirm that in actual use conditions such as actual 
circuit and actual load. Also, note that the automotive relay cannot be applied AC load.

2. Inductive 

load

In the case of switching on and off with inductive loads such as coil, magnet crutch, and solenoid, the 
arc at switching can cause a severe damage on contacts and greatly shortening of life. In addition, in 
the case of switching at a high frequency, a blue-green corrosion may be developed. So, please inquire 
our sales representative to use it.

If the current in the inductive load is relatively small, the arc discharge decomposes organic matter 
contained in the air and causes black deposits (oxides, carbides) to develop on the contacts. This may 
result in contact failure. So, please inquire our sales representative to use it.

3. Lamp load

Large inrush current enhancing contact welding will be impressed. Its current value is greatly affected 
by wiring resistance, switching frequency and ambient temperature. The load current characteristics in 
actual circuit and actual use condition must be examined and sufficient margin of safety must be 
provided in selection of a relay.

It is dangerous to use a lamp load whose nominal current is small even a large nominal current has 
been tested beforehand.
Please inquire our sales representative when switching at nominal current with a small lamp load (40W 
or less), because continuous ON failure may occur due to locking caused by contact-transfer 
phenomenon when switching arc is locally concentrated.

4. Electric- 

discharge 
lamp load

Its load current tends to cause contact welding easily because its inrush current is larger than that of 
the regular lamp load. The load current characteristics in actual circuit and actual use condition must 
be examined and sufficient margin of safety must be provided in selection of a relay.

5. LED lamp 

load

It is necessary to check the contact reliability because the load current of the LED load is very small.
Please inquire our sales representative before use.

6. Other lamp 

load

Please inquire our sales representative before use of new structured lamp except for halogen, Electric-
discharge lamp, and LED.

7. Motor load

When using of N.C. contact side of 1 Form C contact for the motor brake, electrical life might be 
affected by the brake current. Therefore, verify in actual use conditions with actual circuit.

The larger inductivity of motor may cause contact damage and transfer even the motor load current is 
same. Therefore, verify in actual use conditions with actual circuit.

8. Capacitor 

load

Note that its load current tends to cause contact welding and contact transfer easily because its inrush 
current is generally large which has a small break current and a short time period to reach an inrush 
peak value.
Also, inrush current value is influenced by wiring resistance. Therefore, the inrush current in actual 
circuit must be examined and sufficient margin of safety must be provided in selection of a relay.

9. Resistance 

load

This load causes relatively-less contact damage since its inrush current is not large. Select a relay 
based on the rating control capacity.

10. Small 

electric 
current load

- Under small current loading, high contact resistance values may result when performing continuity 

checks of contacts.

- If the switching current is small (1A or less), contact reliability decreases since the contact surface is 

not cleaned by switching arc.

Please inquire our sales representative if you are using the above-mentioned use method.

11. Load 

polarity

Electrical life may be affected by load polarity (+/-) connecting to relay contacts. So, please verify them 
in actual use polarity.

12. Voltage 

drop of 
power 
supply

Under a circuit which inrush current is applied to such as lamps and capacitors, the moment the 
contact is closed, voltage drop to the coil, return of relay, or chattering may occur. Note that it may 
remarkably reduce the electrical life.

ASCTB237E   201709-T

4. Load, 

Electrical life

13. Load 

voltage

If the load voltage is high, the arc energy which generated at contact switching increases, which may 
decrease the electrical life. Therefore, it is necessary to give consideration to the voltage which could 
occur in actual use condition.

14. Coil voltage

If coil applied voltage gets higher, the relay operate time gets faster. However, contact bounce gets 
also larger so that the electrical life may decrease.

15. Coil short-

pulse input

When the short-pulse signal is input to the relay coil, the relay movable part may operate and touch 
lightly to the contact. Therefore, please avoid short pulse input (100ms or less) since it may cause 
contact welding due to less contact pressure. Please test adequately, for example when a relay is 
operated by external manual switch (such as key switch.)

16. High- 

frequency 
of switching

When the switching frequency is high, the electrical life may decrease. Please confirm if there is a 
high-frequent switching caused by abnormal mode in actual use condition.

17. Low- 

frequency 
of switching

Note that if the contact has not been switched for a long time period, organic film tends to be generated 
on the contact surface, which may cause contact instability.

18. Ambient 

temperature

Verify in the actual use condition since electrical life may be affected by use at high temperatures.

19. Connection 

of coil surge 
absorption 
circuit

If resistor, diode, zener diode are connected parallel to the relay coil and decrease the surge voltage 
when the relay coil being turned off, the relay release time will get longer and may decrease the 
electrical life or cause light-welding.

20. Sneak or 

remaining 
current

Please test a relay in actual vehicle condition since there is a risk of deterioration at relay function or 
switching performance such as slower release time which is caused by sneak current due to diode, 
zener diode, capacitor mounted on a vehicle or by remaining current soon after a motor is turned off.

21. Wire length

If long wires (a few ten meters) are to be used in a relay contact circuit, inrush current may become a 
problem due to the stray capacitance existing between wires. In such case, add a resistor in series with 
the contacts.

22. Contact 

protective 
circuit

Use of contact protective devices or protection circuits can suppress the counter electromotive force to 
a low level. However, note that incorrect use will result in an adverse effect. Typical contact protection 
circuits are given in the table below.
Also, note that release time will slow down due to sneak in the circuit and may cause the electrical life 
to shorten and slight-welding.

In the actual circuit, it is necessary to mount the protective device (diode etc.) in the immediate vicinity 
of the load. If it is mounted too far away, the effectiveness of the protective device may diminish. As a 
guide, the distance should be within 50cm.

Avoid using the protection circuits shown in the figures below.
Although it is usually more difficult to switch with DC inductive loads compared to resistive loads, use 
of the proper protection circuit will raise the characteristics to that for resistive loads.

Diode circuit

Circuit

Features/Others

The diode connected in parallel causes the energy stored in the coil to flow to 
the coil in the form of current and dissipates it as joule heat at the resistance 
component of the inductive load. This circuit delays the release time.

Devices Selection

Use a diode with a reverse breakdown voltage at least 10 times the circuit 
voltage and a forward current at least as large as the load current.
In electronic circuits where the circuit voltages are not so high, a diode can be 
used with a reverse breakdown voltage of about 2 to 3 times the power supply 
voltage.

electrical life

23. Connection 

of load

Connect the load to one side of the power supply as shown in Fig. (a). Connect the contacts to the 
other side. This prevents high voltages from developing between contacts. If contacts are connected to 
both side of the power supply as shown in Fig. (b), there is a risk of shorting of the power supply when 
relatively close contacts short.

Note that regarding the following circuit constructions with 2-coil relays (twin relays) or single-pole 
relays, an arc between contacts may be generated when breaking of load current depending on the 
type of load current, voltage, and load.

24. Short 

between 
inter 
electrodes

When using of multiple pole relays such as 2-coil relays (twin relays), verify insulation and dielectric 
strength between contacts in each pole in order to avoid an accident caused by short.

25. Dry-

switching

The two relays are connected in series as 
shown in the right side figure. When each relay 
is controlled with a different timing chart 
(shown in the right side figure bottom), the 
relay No.2 does not flow the load current during 
operation and release time. This relay No.2 
operation is called “Dry-switching”.
Dry-switching can reduce the consumption of 
contact material without current conduction, on 
the other hand, as the contact cleaning effect 
disappear, conduction failure may occur. 
For the abovementioned reasons, note that our 
relay application in this dry-switching condition 
is not recommended in applying our relay.

5. Coil operate 

voltage

1. Hot start 

voltage

After continuous applying of current to coil and contacts, if the current is turned OFF then immediately 
turned ON again, coil resistance and operate voltage will increase due to the temperature rise in the 
coil.

Temperature rise value of coil is greatly affected by circuit board, connected harness, connected 
connector, heat dissipation of system/modules, and heat source around relay. Please verify whether it 
is operating properly or inoperative under actual vehicle and actual use conditions.

2. Ambient 

temperature 
characteristic

Coil resistance and operate voltage will increase when the relay is used in a higher temperature 
atmosphere. The resistance/temperature coefficient of copper wire is about 0.4% for 1

°

C, and the coil 

resistance increases with this ratio. On the other hand, coil resistance and the release voltage will 
decrease at lower temperature. Coil resistance change decreases with the same ratio at higher 
temperature, about 0.4% for 1

°

C.

Therefore, please confirm the relay operation in used operating temperature range, with attention to 
such temperature characteristic.

The ambient usage temperature should be set as around the relay inside the box because a heat 
generated by a relay itself or other instruments causes increase of temperature inside the box.

3. Applied 

voltage

Note that application of a voltage equal to or greater than the maximum applied voltage may cause a 
temperature rise that could cause coil burning or a layer short. Furthermore, do not exceed the usable 
ambient temperature range listed in the catalog. Please inquire our sales representative regarding 
PWM control.

4. Twin-relay 

coil 
simultaneous 
operation

For relays which have multiple coils such as twin relay for forward-reverse operation of motor, if the 
coils are continuously turned on at the same time, the coil temperature may exceed the tolerance in a 
short time due to heat generation of each coil. Please inquire our sales representative before use.

5. Continuous 

current

Coil heating due to continuous current applying to coil for extensive time periods will cause 
deterioration in insulation performance for coil.
For such circuit types, please consider the fail-safe circuit design in case of contact failure or breaking 
of coil.

circuit

1. Relay drive 

by means of 
a transistor

1. Connection method

Collector connection method is the most recommendable when the relay is driven by means of a 
transistor.
To avoid troubles in use, the rated voltage should always be applied on the relay in the ON time and 
zero voltage be done in the OFF time.

2. Countermeasures for surge voltage of relay control transistor

If the coil current is suddenly interrupted, a sudden high voltage pulse is developed in the coil. If this 
voltage exceeds the dielectric strength of the transistor, the transistor will be degraded, and this will 
lead to damage. It is absolutely necessary to connect a diode in the circuit as a means of preventing 
damage from the counter emf. In case of DC relay, connection of Diode is effective. As suitable ratings 
for this diode, the average rectified current should be equivalent to the coil current, and the reverse 
blocking voltage should be about 3 times the value of the power source voltage. Connection of a diode 
is an excellent way to prevent voltage surges, but there will be a considerable time delay when the 
relay is open. Consequently, electrical switching performance of relay may be reduced. If it is need to 
reduce this time delay, performance will be improved by connecting a Zener diode that is rated for 
more than double the voltage in the circuit between the transistor’s Collector and Emitter.

Take care of Area of Safe Operation (ASO).

(Good) Collector connection

This is the most common 
connection, which operation is 
usually stable with.

(Care) Emitter connection

When the circumstances make 
the use of this connection 
unavoidable, the voltage may 
not be completely applied on 
the relay and the transistor 
would not conduct completely.

(Care) Parallel connection

As the power consumption of 
the entire circuit increases, the 
relay voltage should be 
considered.

circuit

1. Relay drive 

by means of 
a transistor

3. Snap action (Characteristic of relay with voltage rise and fall)

It is necessary for the relay coil not to apply voltage slowly but to apply the rated voltage in a short time 
and also to drop the voltage to zero in a short time.

4. Schmitt circuit (Snap action circuit)

When the input signal does not produce a snap action, ordinarily a Schmitt trigger circuit is used to 
produce safe snap action.
- The common emitter resistor RE must have a sufficiently small value compared with the resistance of 

the relay coil.

- Due to the relay coil current, the difference in the voltage between at point P when Tr2 is conducting 

and at point P when Tr1 is conducting creates hysteresis in the detection capability of Schmitt circuit, 
and care must be taken in setting the values.

- When there is chattering in the input signal because of waveform oscillation, an CR time constant 

circuit should be inserted in the stage before the Schmitt trigger circuit. (However, the response 
speed drops.)

5. Avoid Darlington circuit connections.

Care must be taken in this circuit due to increase of VCESAT. It does not cause a failure immediately, 
but it may lead to troubles by using for a long period or by operating with many units.

operating 
circuit

1. Relay drive

6. Residual Coil Voltage

In switching operation where a semiconductor (transistor, UJT, etc.) is connected to the coil, a residual 
voltage is retained at the relay coil which may cause incomplete restoration and faulty operation. Using 
of DC coils may cause incomplete restoration or reduction in contact pressure and vibration resistance, 
because its release voltage is lower than that of AC coil (10% or more of the rated voltage) also 
because there is a tendency to increase the life by lowering the release voltage.
When the signal from the transistor’s collector is taken and used to drive another circuit as shown in 
the figure as follows, a minute dark current flows to the relay even if the transistor is off. This may also 
cause the problems described above.

Connection to the next stage through collector

2. Relay drive 

by means of 
SCR

1. Ordinary drive method

For SCR drive, it is necessary to take particular care with regard to gate sensitivity and erroneous 
operation due to noise.

2. Cautions regarding ON/OFF control circuits 

(when used for temperature control circuits or similar one)

Care must be taken because the electrical life suffers extreme shortening when the relay contacts 
close simultaneously with an AC single phase power source.
1. When the relay is turned ON and OFF using a SCR, the SCR serves as a half wave power source as 
it is, and there are ample cases where the SCR is easily restored.
2. In this manner the relay operation and restoration timing are easily synchronized with the power 
source frequency, and the timing of the load switching also is easily synchronized.
3. In case of the load for temperature control whose load is a high current load such as a heater, some 
relays switch only peak values and some other relays switch only zero phase values as a phenomenon 
of this type of control. (Depending upon the sensitivity and response speed of the relay)
4. Accordingly, it causes either an extremely long life or an extremely short life resulting in wide 
variation. So, it is necessary to take care with the initial device quality check.

7. Contact 

reliability

1. Load 

switching

Note that when switching with a very small load after switching with a large load, contact failure by 
small load switching may occur due to particles generated during switching of the contact with large 
load.

2. Installation 

condition

Note that if it is connected or installed with a high heat-capacity such as bus bar, connector, harness, 
and PCB, heat removal phenomenon at low temperature will make relay terminals and contacts cool 
and condensate a small amount of organic gas inside the relay, which may cause a contact failure. So, 
please inquire our sales representative before use.

8. Contact 

resistance

1. Transient 

state

Contact resistance consists of dynamic and static contact resistance. Contact resistance on the 
catalogue and the specifications refers to static contact resistance. Note that dynamic contact 
resistance usually shows a large value due to just after the contact operation.

2. Contact 

voltage, 
current

Note that if the contact-applied voltage is small (at 6V or less) and contact-applied current is small (at 
1A or less), contact resistance may become a larger value due to a small amount of film on a contact 
surface.

9. Operation 

noise

1. Coil applied 

voltage

Mechanical relays produce an operational noise at operate and release time. Note that if the coil-
applied voltage is higher at operate time, the noise becomes larger.

2. Operation 

noise after 
installation

It is necessary to test relays in actual installation condition because operation noise may become 
larger in the installation condition than with a relay by itself due to resonance and sympathetic 
vibrations of installation PCB and system module.

10. Mechanical 

noise

1. Abnormal 

noise

Note that if a large current is applied to the contact, electromagnetic repulsion makes contact vibrate 
and may produce small abnormal noise. Please inquire our sales representative if quietness is 
required.

Note that if an external vibration and shock are applied to a relay while the relay turns off, a movable 
part of the relay may vibrate and produce a noise. If quietness is required, after mounting, please test 
in the actual use condition.

11. Electrical 

noise

1. Surge 

voltage

When the relay turns off, surge voltage is generated from the coil. This surge voltage can be reduced if 
a resistor is connected in parallel to the coil. Likewise, it can be reduced more if a diode instead of 
resistor is connected in parallel.
However, please note that if a resistor and a diode is connected in parallel electrical life may be 
affected due to slowing down of release time.

12. Usage 

ambient 
condition

1. Temperature, 

humidity, air 
pressure

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: The allowable temperature range differs with each relay, so refer to the relay’s 
individual specifications. In addition, note that in the case of transporting and storing relays in a tube 
package, the temperature may differ from the allowable range of the relay.
2. Humidity: 5 to 85% R.H.
3. Pressure: 86 to 106 kPa

*1. The humidity range varies with the temperature. So, use relays within the range indicated in the 

graph below.

*2. If products are air freighted, as long as they are kept in a regular air transportation environment 

(approx. 80 kPa), product quality will not be affected.

     (The allowable temperature range differs for each relay.)

- Be sure the usage ambient temperature does not exceed the value listed in the catalog.
- When switching with a load which easily generates arc in high-humidity environment, the NOx 

generated 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 using them at an 
ambient humidity of 85%RH or higher (at 20

°

C). If it is unavoidable to use them in such environment, 

please consult us.

- Sealed relays are especially not suited for use in environments which require severe airtight 

condition. Although there is no problem if they are used at sea level, avoid using them in air pressures 
beyond 96

±

10kPa. Also avoid using them in an atmosphere containing flammable or explosive gases.

2. Dust

It is recommendable to use relays in a normal temperature and humidity with less dust, sulfur gases 
(SO

2

, H

2

S), and organic gases.

Sealed relays should be considered for applications in an adverse environment.

3. Silicone

When a source of silicone gas (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.
The produced silicone gas may penetrate the plastic case and enter the inside of the relay. When the 
relay is kept and used in this condition, silicone compound may adhere to the relay contacts. The 
silicone compound may be changed to the insulator which may cause the contact failure. Do not use 
any sources of silicone gas around the relay.

4. Magnetism

If relays are proximately installed each other or installed near highly-magnetized parts such as motor 
and speaker, the relay may change its operational characteristics or cause malfunction. Therefore, 
after mounting, check performance in actual operational conditions.

5. Vibration

Vibration of the area where relay is installed may be enhanced more than expected depending on 
installation condition of PCB. So, please verify in actual use condition. N.O. contact is the 
recommended contact for the use at the vibration-frequent area because the vibration resistance 
performance of N.C. contact is generally inferior to that of N.O. contact.
In addition, owing to adverse effects on the characteristics of the relay, ensure that devices are not 
exposed to ultorasonic or high frequency vibrations.

6. Shock

It is ideal for mounting of relay that the movement of the contacts and movable parts is perpendicular 
to the direction of vibration or shock. Especially note that the vibration and shock resistance of N.C. 
contacts while the coil is not excited is greatly affected by the mounting direction of the relay.

condition

7. Dew 

condensation

Water 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 Corporation does not guarantee the failures caused by condensation.
The heat conduction by the equipment may accelerate the cooling of relay itself, and the condensation 
may occur. Please confirm no condensation in the worst condition of the actual usage.
(Special attention should be paid when high temperature heating parts are close to the relay. Also 
please consider the condensation may occur inside of the relay.)

Note that if a relay is connected or installed with a high heat-capacity such as bus bar, connector, 
harness, and PCB, heat removal phenomenon will accelerate cooling of the relay inside and promote 
condensation. So, please verify in actual installation condition.

8. Water 

resistance

Do not use PC board type in environments where wetting may occur.
Since we have different types with various water resistance specifications, please inquire our sales 
representative.

9. Icing

Please check the icing when an ambient temperature is lower than 0

°

C. Water drop adheres to the 

relay by the condensation or the abnormal high humidity and is frozen to the ice when the ambient 
temperature becomes lower than 0

°

C. The icing causes the sticking of movable portion, the operation 

delay and the contact conduction failure etc. Panasonic Corporation 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 confirm no icing in the worst condition of the actual usage.

Note that if a relay is connected or installed with a high heat-capacity such as bus bar, connector, 
harness, and PCB, heat removal phenomenon will accelerate cooling of the relay inside and promote 
freezing. So, please verify in actual installation condition.

10. Low tem-

perature, 
low humid-
ity

The plastic becomes brittle if the relay is exposed to a low temperature, low humidity environment for 
long periods of time.

13. Installation

1. Connector 

connection

Please consider the vibration at installation area to avoid loosely-contact.
Also, note that even a microscopic vibration may cause contact failure at the contact area of relay 
terminal and connector.

Decrease of mated performance of connector may cause abnormal heat at connector contact area 
depending on use temperature and applying heat. Sufficient margin of safety must be provided in 
selection of a connector.

Please select the proper material of connector and surface treatment to avoid corrosion at the contact 
area of relay terminal and connector and increase of resistance at connecting area which may be 
caused depending on ambient environment.

1. Cautions regarding Pattern Layout for Relays

Operating relays may generate noise that can affect electrical circuits. Therefore, the following points 
should be noted.

• Keep relays away from semiconductor devices.
• Design the pattern traces with the shortest length.
• Place the surge absorber (diode, etc.) near the relay coil.
• Avoid routing pattern traces susceptible to noise (such as for audio signals) underneath the relay coil 

section.

• Avoid through-holes in places which cannot be seen from the top (e.g. at the base of the relay). 

Solder flowing up through such a hole may cause damage such as a sealing failure.

• Even for the same circuit, it is necessary to consider the pattern design in order to minimize the 

influence of the on/off operations of the relay coil and lamp on other electronic circuits, as shown in 
the figure below.

2. Hole and 

Land 
diameter

The Hole and Land diameter are made with the hole slightly larger than the lead wire so that the 
component may be inserted easily. Also, when soldering, the solder will build up in an eyelet condition, 
increasing the mounting strength. The standard dimensions for the Hole diameter and Land are shown 
in the table below.

(Remarks)
• The Hole diameter is made 0.2 to 0.5 mm 

.008 to .020 inch

 larger than the lead diameter.

However, if the jet method (wave type, jet type) of soldering is used, solder may pass through to the 
component side. Therefore, it is more suitable to make the hole diameter equal to the lead diameter 
+0.2 mm.

• The Land diameter should be 2 to 3 times the Hole diameter.
• Do not put more than 1 lead in one hole.

3. Expansion 

and 
shrinkage of 
copper-clad 
laminates

Because copper-clad laminates have a longitudinal and lateral direction, the manner of punching 
fabrication and layout must be observed with care. Expansion and shrinkage in the longitudinal 
direction due to heat is about 1/15 to 1/2 of that in the lateral, and accordingly, after the punching 
fabrication, the distortion in the longitudinal direction will be about 1/15 to 1/2 of that in the lateral 
direction. The mechanical strength in the longitudinal direction is about 10 to 15% greater than that in 
the lateral direction. Because of this difference between the longitudinal and lateral directions, when 
products having long configurations are to be fabricated, the lengthwise direction of the configuration 
should be made in the longitudinal direction, and PC boards having a connector section should be 
made with the connector along the longitudinal side. (The figure below)
Example: As shown in the drawing below, the 150 mm 

5.906 inch

 direction is taken in the longitudinal 

direction.

Also, as shown in the drawing below, when the pattern has a connector section, the direction is taken 
as shown by the arrow in the longitudinal direction.

15. PCB 

mounting

1. Through-hole type

In keeping with making devices compact, it is becoming more common to solder the relay to a PC board along with the semiconductors 
instead of using the previous plug-in type in which relays were plugged into sockets.
With this style, loss of function may occur because of seepage into the relay of flux, which is applied to the PC board. Therefore, the 
following precautions are provided for soldering a relay onto a PC board. Please refer to them during installation in order to avoid problems.
The type of protective structure will determine suitability for automatic soldering or automatic cleaning. Therefore, please review the parts 
on construction and characteristics.

1. Mounting of Relay

• Avoid bending the terminals to make the 

relay self-clinching. Relay performance 
cannot be guaranteed if the terminals 
are bent.

• Correctly make the PC board according 

to the given PC board pattern 
illustration.

• Tube packaging for automatic mounting 

is available depending on the type of 
relay. (Be sure that the relays don’t 
rattle.) Interference may occur internally 
if the gripping force of the tab of the 
surface mounting machine is too great.
This could impair relay performance.

2. Flux Application

• Adjust the position of the PC board so 

that flux does not overflow onto the top 
of it. This must be observed especially 
for dust-cover type relays.

• Use rosin-based non-corrosive flux.
• If the PC board is pressed down into a 

flux-soaked sponge as shown on the 
right, the flux can easily penetrate a 
dust-cover type relay. Never use this 
method. Note that if the PC board is 
pressed down hard enough, flux may 
even penetrate a flux tight type relay.

3. Preheating

• Be sure to preheat before using automatic 

soldering. For dust-cover type relays and 
flux tight type relays, preheating acts to 
prevent the penetration of flux into the 
relay when soldering. Solderability also 
improves.

• Preheat according to the following 

conditions.

• Note that long exposure to high 

temperatures (e.g. due to a malfunctioning 
unit) may affect relay characteristics.

Note: CB and CM relays are not applicable. Please refer to individual product catalog.

4. Soldering

Automatic soldering

Hand soldering

• Wave solder is the optimum method for 

soldering.

• Adjust the level of solder so that it does not 

overflow onto the top of the PC board.

• Unless otherwise specified, solder under 

the following conditions depending on the 
type of relay.

• Please take caution with multi-layer boards. 

Relay performance may degrade due to the 
high thermal capacity of these boards.

• Keep the tip of the soldering iron clean.

Note: CB and CM relays are not applicable. Please refer to individual product catalog.

5. Cooling

• Immediate air cooling is recommend to prevent deterioration of the relay and surrounding 

parts due of soldering heat.

• Avoid immersing the relay into cold liquid (such as cleaning solvent and coating material) 

immediately after soldering. Doing so may deteriorate the sealing performance.

6. Cleaning

• Do not clean products that are not compatible with cleaning.
• For products that may be cleaned, use alcohol-based cleaning solvent. Use of other 

cleaning solvents (e.g. Trichlene, chloroethene, thinner, benzyl alcohol, gasoline) may 
damage the relay case.

• 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.

• Do not cut the terminals. When terminals are cut, breaking of coil wire and slight sticking 

of the contacts may occur due to vibration of the cutter.

7. Coating

• If the PC board is to be coated to prevent the insulation of the PC board from 

deteriorating due to corrosive gases and high temperatures, note the following.

• Do not coat dust-cover type relays and flux tight type relays, since the coating material 

may penetrate the relay and cause contact failure. Or, mount the relay after coating.

• Depending on the type, some coating materials may have an adverse affect on relays. 

Furthermore, some solvents (e.g. xylene, toluene, MEK, I.P.A.) may damage the case or 
chemically dissolve the epoxy and break the seal. Select coating materials carefully.

• If the relay and all components (e.g. ICs) are to be coated, be sure to carefully check the 

flexibility of the coating material. The solder may peel off from thermal stress.

15. PCB 

mounting

2. SMD type

To meet the market demand for downsizing to smaller, lighter, and thinner products, PC boards also need to proceed from insertion 
mounting to surface mounting technology.
To meet this need, we offer a line of surface mount relays. The following describes some cautions required for surface mount relay 
installation to prevent malfunction and incorrect operation.
*Please inquire our sales representative for or reflow soldering of through-hole terminal type.

1. Paste Soldering

• Mounting pads on PC boards must be 

designed to absorb placement errors while 
taking account of solderability and insulation. 
Refer to the suggested mounting pad layout 
in the application data for the required relay 
product.

• Paste solder may be applied on the board 

with screen printing or dispenser techniques. 
For either method, the paste solder must be 
coated to appropriate thickness and shapes 
to achieve good solder wetting and adequate 
insulation.

2.Relay mounting

• A self-alignment effect is expected during soldering of small and lightweight (approx. 100 mg 

or less) components such as chip components but such effect cannot be expected for electro-
mechanical components such as relays. Positional alignment of a relay and lands on a circuit 
board requires precise positioning on its soldering pads.

• Excessive pickup force exerted by a placement machine could cause internal damage, and 

performance of the relay cannot be warranted.

• Component taping compatible with automated placement is adopted for this product.
• Once the humidity controlled package of product is opened, relays should be used promptly. 

(For possible storage period after opening a package, please refer to the catalog for the 
product concerned. If products are not used within the possible storage period, they should 
be stored in a humidity-controlled desiccator or in a moisture-prevention bag with silica gel.)

3. Reflow

• Even when highly heat resistance surface mount type relays are used, depending on the 

product airtight implementation, reflow solder heating method, type of PC board and other 
factors, the outer casing and internal parts of the relay may reach extremely high 
temperatures and this may break airtightness. Devices should be thoroughly evaluated in 
actual operation.

<Example of recommended soldering condition for surface mount relays>
1. IRS profile

Note: Temperature profile indicates the temperature of the soldered part (*1) of terminals on 

the surface of a circuit board. The exterior temperature of a relay may be extremely high 
depending on the component density on the board or the heating method of the reflow 
oven or circuit board type. Sufficient verification under actual processing conditions is 
required. Performance-guaranteed temperature varies by product. Please refer to the 
relevant product catalog.

<Others>
For other solder methods except for the above (such as hot air heating, hot plate heating, laser 
heating, pulse heating, etc.), please check for mounting and soldering condition before use.
It is recommended that the soldered pad be immediately cooled to prevent thermal damage to 
the relay and its associated components.

4. Cooling / Cleaning

• In order to avoid deterioration of relays and other components caused by soldering heat, 

immediate air cooling is recommended.

• Avoid cleaning (ultrasonic cleaning, boiling cleaning, etc.) and coating in order to prevent 

negative impacts on relay characteristics.

16. Storage, 

transportation

1. Transportation

Relay’s functional damage may occur if strong vibration, shock or heavy weight is applied to a 
relay during transportation of a device in which a relay is installed. Therefore, please pack them 
in a way, using shock-absorbing material, so that the allowable range for vibration and shock is 
not exceeded.

2. Storage

If the relay is stored for extended periods of time (including transportation period) at high 
temperatures or high humidity levels or in atmospheres with organic gas or sulfide gas, sulfide 
film or oxide film may be formed on surface of the contacts, which may cause contact instability, 
contact failure and functional failure. Please check the atmosphere in which the units are to be 
stored and transported.

17. Product 

handling

1. Tube packing

Some types of relays are supplied with tube packaging. If you remove some relays from the tube, 
be sure to slide a stop plug into one end of a tube to hold the remaining relays firmly and avoid 
rattling of relay inside the tube. Note that rattling may cause a damage on appearance and/or 
performance.

Do not use the relays if they were dropped or fallen down in a tube packing condition because 
there is a risk of characteristic failure.

2. Cautions after 

relay mounting

If PC boards are processed after relays have been mounted on the board, it is possible that 
swarf or other foreign matter resulting from machining or other processes may get inside the 
relays and cause malfunctions or contact failure. Pay particular attention if using flux tight relays 
or relays with vent hole. In addition, take care to avoid vibrations and shocks during PC board 
processing that may affect the characteristics and structural integrity of the relay.

18. Reliability

[1] What is Reliability?

1. Reliability in a Narrow Sense of the Term

In the industrial world, reliability is an index of how long a particular product serves without failure during use period.

2. Reliability in a Board Sense of the Term

Every product has a finite service lifetime. This means that no product can continue normal service infinitely. When a product has broken 
down, the user may throw it away or repair it. The reliability of repairable products is recognized as “reliability in a broad sense of the 
term.” For repairable products, their serviceability or maintainability is another problem. In addition, reliability of product design is 
becoming a serious concern for the manufacturing industry. In short, reliability has three senses: i.e. reliability of the product itself, 
serviceability of the product, and reliability of product design.

3. Intrinsic Reliability and Reliability of Use

Reliability is “built” into products. This is referred to as intrinsic reliability which consists mainly of reliability in the narrow sense. Product 
reliability at the user’s site is called “reliability of use,” which consists mainly of reliability in the broad sense. In the relay industry, reliability 
of use has a significance in aspects of servicing.

1. Degree of Reliability

Degree of reliability represents percentage ratio of reliability. For example, if none of 10 light bulbs has failed for 100 hours, the degree of 
reliability defined in, 100 hours of time is 10/10 = 100%. If only three bulbs remained alive, the degree of reliability is 3/10 = 30%. The JIS 
Z8115 standard defines the degree of reliability as follows: The probability at which a system, equipment, or part provides the specified 
functions over the intended duration under the specified conditions.

2. MTBF

MTBF is an acronym of Mean Time Between Failures. It indicates the mean time period in which a system, equipment, or part operates 
normally between two incidences of repair. MTBF only applies to repairable products.
MTBF tells how long a product can be used without the need for repair. Sometimes MTBF is used to represent the service lifetime before 
failure.

3. MTTF

MTTF is an acronym of Mean Time To Failure. It indicates the mean time period until a product becomes faulty MTTF normally applies to 
unrepairable products such as parts and materials.
The relay is one of such objective of MTTF.

4. Failure Rate

Failure rate includes mean failure rate and momentary failure rate. Mean failure rate is defined as follows: Mean failure rate = Total failure 
count/total operating hours
In general, failure rate refers to momentary failure rate. This represents the probability at which a system, equipment, or par t, which has 
continued normal operation to a certain point of time, becomes faulty in the subsequent specified time period.
Failure rate is often represented in the unit of percent/hours. For parts with low failure rates, “failure unit (Fit) = 10-9 /hour” is often used 
instead of failure rate. Percent/count is normally used for relays.

5. Safe Life

Safe life is an inverse of degree of reliability. It is given as value B which makes the following equation true:

1 - R(B) = t%

In general, “B[1 - R(B)] = 10%” is more often used. In some cases this represents a more practical value of reliability than MTTF.

[3] Failure
1. What is Failure?

Failure is defined as a state of system, equipment, or component in which par t of all of its functions are impaired or lost.

2. Bathtub Curve

Product’s failure rate throughout its lifetime is depicted as a bathtub curve, as shown below. Failure rate is high at the beginning and end 
of its service lifetime.

(I)

Initial failure period
The high failure rate in the initial failure period is derived from latent design errors, process errors, and many other causes. This 
process is called debugging, performing aging or screening in order to find out initial failures.

(II) Accidental failure period

The initial failure period is followed by a long period with low, stable failure rate. In this period, called accidental failure period, failures 
occurs at random along the time axis. While zero accidental failure rate is desirable, this is actually not practical in the real world.

(III) Wear-out failure period

In the final stage of the product’s service lifetime comes the wear-out failure period, in which the life of the product expires due to wear 
of fatigue. Preventive maintenance is effective for this type of failure. The timing of a relay’s wear-out failure can be predicted with a 
certain accuracy from the past record of uses. The use of a relay is intended only in the accidental failure period, and this period 
virtually represents the service lifetime of the relay.

3. Weibull Analysis

Weibull analysis is often used for classifying a product’s failure patterns and to determine its lifetime.
Weibull distribution is expressed by the following equation:

Weibull distribution can be adopted to the actual failure rate distribution if the three variables above are estimated.

The Weibull probability chart is a simpler alternative of complex calculation formulas. The chart provides the following advantages:
   (1) The Weibull distribution has the closest proximity to the actual failure rate distribution.
   (2) The Weibull probability chart is easy to use.
   (3) Different types of failures can be identified on the chart.

The following describes the correlation with the bathtub curve. The value of the parameter “m” represents the type of the failure.
   (1) When m < 1: Initial failures
   (2) When m = 1: Accidental failures
   (3) When m > 1: Wear-out failures

RATING

1. Coil data

Note: *Other usable voltage range types are also available. Please inquire our sales representative for details.

2. Specifications

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.
Please inquire our sales representative if you will be using the relay in a high temperature atmosphere (110

°

230

°

F

).

If the relay is used continuously for long periods of time with coils on both sides in an energized condition, breakdown might occur due to abnormal heating depending on 
the carrying condition. Therefore, please inquire our sales representative when using with a circuit that causes an energized condition on both sides simultaneously.

N.O.

N.C.

When soldering this relay, please observe the following 
conditions.
[I.R.S. method (recommended)]
(Recommended number of reflows: 1)

• Cautions for mounting

1. The temperature profile shows the temperature at the 

soldering portion on the PCB surface.

2. Depending on the mounting density condition, reflow 

heating method, and PCB type (metal etc.), the relay’s 
exterior and interior temperature may become extremely 
high.
Therefore, please confirm well under the actual use 
condition before use.

The other cautions of reflow soldering:

1. When soldering condition is out of recommendation, the 

relay performance may be adversely affected.
If soldering conditions are out of our recommendation, 
please contact us before operation.

2. Please check the effect at the actual soldering because 

heat stress to relay is changed by PCB type and 
manufacturing process condition.

3. Solder creepage, wettability or soldering strength will be 

affected by the mounting condition or soldering material. 
Please check the actual production condition in detail.

4. Do not wash the relay as failures may occur.
5. This product is not plastic sealed type. Please perform 

coating with sufficient attention to avoid infiltration of the 
solvent to the inside. Also, please pay careful attention to 
use and store them with no contamination of foreign 
material.

2. Specifications

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.

NOTES

For general cautions for use, please refer to the “Automotive Relay Users Guide”.

1. Usage, transport and storage 
conditions

1) Ambient temperature, humidity, and air 
pressure during usage, transport, and 
storage of the relay:
(1) Temperature: 
–40 to +85

°

–40 to +185

°

F

 

(Standard type)
–40 to +110

°

–40 to +230

°

F

 

(High heat-resistant type)
(2) Humidity: 
5 to 85% RH (Standard type)
2 to 85% RH (High heat-resistant type)
(Avoid icing and condensation.)
(3) Air pressure: 86 to 106 kPa
The humidity range varies with the 
temperature. Use within the range 
indicated in the graph below.

[Temperature and humidity range for 
usage, transport, and storage]

              Standard type

              High heat-resistant type

2. Storage condition after opening a 
moisture-prevention package

(1) After opening a moisture-prevention 
package, use the item as soon as 
possible (within 3 days under an 
environment of Max. 30

°

86

°

F

, Max. 

70% RH).
(2) If products are not used within 3 days 
after opening a moisture-prevention 
package, store them in a humidity-
controlled desiccator or in a storage bag 
with silica gel.

3. Mounting and cleaning conditions 
for surface-mount terminal type relays

When soldering this relay, please 
observe the following conditions.
(Recommended conditions: Number of 
reflows: 1, Measurement location: 
terminal temperature)

Temperature profile indicates the 
temperature of the soldered part (Note 1) 
of terminals on the surface of the PC 
board, however, for other areas such as 
the surface of relay case, make a setting 
so that you do not exceed the 
recommended conditions.
*The temperature of the relay exterior 
and interior may be extremely high 
depending on the component density on 
the board, the heating method of the 
reflow oven or circuit board type.

Other cautions during reflow soldering
(1) Reflow performance may be affected 
if you carry out soldering in a way that 
exceeds the recommended conditions. If 
you need to exceed the recommended 
conditions when soldering, please inquire 
our sales representative before using in 
an application.
(2) Please confirm the heat stress of 
relay by using actual board because it 
may be changed by board condition or 
manufacturing process condition.
(3) Solder creepage, wettability, or 
soldering strength will be affected by the 
changing of soldering condition or used 
solder type. Please check them under the 
actual production condition in detail.
(4) Avoid cleaning (ultrasonic cleaning, 
boiling cleaning, etc.) and coating in 
order to prevent negative impacts on 
relay characteristics.

NOTES

For general cautions for use, please refer to the “Automotive Relay Users Guide”.

1. Mounting and cleaning conditions for Surface-mount 
terminal type relays

When soldering this relay, please observe the following 
conditions.
(Recommended conditions: Number of reflows: 1, Measurement 
location: terminal temperature)

Temperature profile indicates the temperature of the soldered 
part (Note 1) of terminals on the surface of the PC board, 
however, for other areas such as the surface of relay case, make 
a setting so that you do not exceed the recommended 
conditions.
*The temperature of the relay exterior and interior may be 
extremely high depending on the component density on the 
board, the heating method of the reflow oven or circuit board 
type.

Other cautions during reflow soldering
(1) Reflow performance may be affected if you carry out 

soldering in a way that exceeds the recommended 
conditions. If you need to exceed the recommended 
conditions when soldering, please inquire our sales 
representative before using in an application.

(2) Please confirm the heat stress of relay by using actual board 

because it may be changed by board condition or 
manufacturing process condition.

(3) Solder creepage, wettability, or soldering strength will be 

affected by the changing of soldering condition or used 
solder type. Please check them under the actual production 
condition in detail.

(4) Avoid cleaning (ultrasonic cleaning, boiling cleaning, etc.) 

and coating in order to prevent negative impacts on relay 
characteristics.

2. Storage condition after opening a moisture-prevention 
package

1) After opening a moisture-prevention package, use the item as 
soon as possible (within 4 days under an environment of Max. 
30

°

86

°

F

, Max. 70% RH).

2) If products are not used within 4 days after opening a 
moisture-prevention package, store them in a humidity-
controlled desiccator or in a storage bag with silica gel.

RATING

1. Coil data

2. Specifications

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.
Please inquire our sales representative if you will be using the relay in a high temperature atmosphere (110

1) Standard CQ relay

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.

*4. For wiper motor load, please see the wiper load specifications, below.

2) For wiper load (ACQW131)
Anything outside of that given below complies with standard CQ relays.

Note: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

2. Specifications

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.
Please inquire our sales representative if you will be using the relay in a high temperature atmosphere (110

°

230

°

F

).

If the relay is used continuously for long periods of time with coils on both sides in an energized condition, breakdown might occur due to abnormal heating 
depending on the carrying condition. Therefore, please inquire our sales representative when using with a circuit that causes an energized condition on both sides 
simultaneously.

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.
Please inquire our sales representative if you will be using the relay in a high temperature atmosphere (110

°

°

F

).

If the relay is used continuously for long periods of time with coils on both sides in an energized condition, breakdown might occur due to abnormal heating 
depending on the carrying condition. Therefore, please inquire our sales representative when using with a circuit that causes an energized condition on both sides 
simultaneously.

2. Specifications

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.
Please inquire our sales representative if you will be using the relay in a high temperature atmosphere (110

2. Specifications

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.
Please inquire our sales representative if you will be using the relay in a high temperature atmosphere (110

°

230

°

F

).

*4. Do not use for lamp loads, electric discharge lamp loads, any other lamp loads and capacitor loads. Please inquire our sales representative for details.

2. Specifications

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.
Please inquire our sales representative if you will be using the relay in a high temperature atmosphere (110

°

230

°

F

).

*4. Part numbers for electric discharge lamp loads or any other lamp loads and for capacitor loads only consist of “ACTB

L

∗∗

”. 

When using the lamp control type, connect N.O. to the “+ (plus)” side. Please inquire our sales representative for details.

*If the relay is used continuously for long periods of time with coils on both sides in an energized condition, breakdown might occur due to abnormal heating depending 

on the carrying condition. Therefore, please inquire our sales representative when using with a circuit that causes an energized condition on both sides 
simultaneously.

NOTES

For general cautions for use, please refer to the “Automotive Relay Users Guide”.

Usage, transport and storage conditions

1) Ambient temperature, humidity, and air pressure during 
usage, transport, and storage of the relay:
(1) Temperature: –40 to +85

°

–40 to +185

°

F

 (Standard type)

 –40 to +110

°

–40 to +230

°

F

 (High heat-resistant type/Pin in 

Paste compliant type)
(2) Humidity: 2 to 85% RH (Avoid icing and condensation.)
(3) Air pressure: 86 to 106 kPa
The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the 
range indicated in the graph below.

[Temperature and humidity range for usage, transport, 

and storage]

Mounting and cleaning conditions for Pin-in-Paste 
compliant type

When soldering this relay, please observe the following
conditions.
[I.R.S. method (recommended)]
(Recommended number of reflows: 1)

• Cautions for mounting

1. The temperature profile shows the temperature at the 

soldering portion on the PCB surface.

2. Depending on the mounting density condition, reflow 

heating method, and PCB type (metal etc.), the relay’s 
exterior and interior temperature may become extremely 
high.
Therefore, please confirm well under the actual use 
condition before use.

The other cautions of reflow soldering:

1. When soldering condition is out of recommendation, the 

relay performance may be adversely affected.
If soldering conditions are out of our recommendation, 
please contact us before operation.

2. Please check the effect at the actual soldering because 

heat stress to relay is changed by PCB type and 
manufacturing process condition.

3. Solder creepage, wettability or soldering strength will be 

affected by the mounting condition or soldering material. 
Please check the actual production condition in detail.

4. Do not wash the relay as failures may occur.
5. This product is not plastic sealed type. Please perform 

coating with sufficient attention to avoid infiltration of the 
solvent to the inside. Also, please pay careful attention to 
use and store them with no contamination of foreign 
material.

RATING

1. Coil data

Note: Other operate (set) voltage types are also available. Please inquire our sales representative for details.

2. Specifications

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.
Please inquire our sales representative if you will be using the relay in a high temperature atmosphere (110

°

230

°

F

).

NOTES

For general cautions for use, please refer to the “Automotive Relay Users Guide”.

1. Coil operating power

Pure DC current should be applied to the coil. 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. Also, the power waveform should be rectangular.

2. Coil applied voltage

To ensure proper operation, the voltage applied to the coil 
should be the rated operating voltage of the coil. Also, be aware 
that the pick-up and drop-out voltages will fluctuate depending 
on the ambient temperature and operating conditions.

3. Expected life

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.

4. Soldering

When soldering the relays, ensure conformance with the 
conditions listed below.

1) Automatic soldering

Preheating soldering: 100

°

212

°

F

, within 2 sec (surface of 

PC board)
Soldering: 260

°

500

°

F

, within 5 sec

2) Manual soldering

Tip temperature: 280 to 300

°

536 to 572

°

F

.

Soldering iron: 30 to 60W
Soldering time: within 5 sec

5. Usage, transport and storage conditions

1) Ambient temperature, humidity, and air pressure during 
usage, transport, and storage of the relay:
(1) Temperature: 
–40 to +85

°

–40 to +185

°

F

 (Standard type)

–40 to +110

°

–40 to +230

°

F

 (High heat-resistant type)

(2) Humidity: 2 to 85% RH (Avoid icing and condensation.)
(3) Air pressure: 86 to 106 kPa

The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the 
range indicated in the graph below.

[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) Icing
Condensation or other moisture may ice on the relay when the 
temperature is lower than 0

°

32

°

F

. This causes problems such 

as sticking of movable parts, operational time lags or poor 
contact conduction.

4) Low temperature and low humidity environments
The plastic becomes brittle if the relay is exposed to a low 
temperature, low humidity environment for long periods of time.

6. Mounting and cleaning conditions for Pin-in-Paste 
compliant type

When soldering this relay, please observe the following 
conditions.
[I.R.S. method (recommended)]
(Recommended number of reflows: 1)

• Cautions for mounting

1. The temperature profile shows the temperature at the 

soldering portion on the PCB surface.

2. Depending on the mounting density condition, reflow 

heating method, and PCB type (metal etc.), the relay’s 
exterior and interior temperature may become extremely 
high.
Therefore, please confirm well under the actual use 
condition before use.

The other cautions of reflow soldering:

1. When soldering condition is out of recommendation, the 

relay performance may be adversely affected.
If soldering conditions are out of our recommendation, 
please contact us before operation.

2. Please check the effect at the actual soldering because 

heat stress to relay is changed by PCB type and 
manufacturing process condition.

3. Solder creepage, wettability or soldering strength will be 

affected by the mounting condition or soldering material. 
Please check the actual production condition in detail.

4. Do not wash the relay as failures may occur.
5. This product is not plastic sealed type. Please perform 

coating with sufficient attention to avoid infiltration of the 
solvent to the inside. Also, please pay careful attention to 
use and store them with no contamination of foreign 
material.

7. Others handling precautions

Do not use relays that have been dropped, because doing so 
may be a cause of faulty operation.

2. Specifications

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.
Please inquire our sales representative if you will be using the relay in a high temperature atmosphere (110

°

230

Mounting and cleaning conditions for Pin-in-Paste 
compliant type

When soldering this relay, please observe the following 
conditions.
[I.R.S. method (recommended)]
(Recommended number of reflows: 1)

• Cautions for mounting

1. The temperature profile shows the temperature at the 

soldering portion on the PCB surface.

2. Depending on the mounting density condition, reflow 

heating method, and PCB type (metal etc.), the relay’s 
exterior and interior temperature may become extremely 
high.
Therefore, please confirm well under the actual use 
condition before use.

The other cautions of reflow soldering:

1. When soldering condition is out of recommendation, the 

relay performance may be adversely affected.
If soldering conditions are out of our recommendation, 
please contact us before operation.

2. Please check the effect at the actual soldering because 

heat stress to relay is changed by PCB type and 
manufacturing process condition.

3. Solder creepage, wettability or soldering strength will be 

affected by the mounting condition or soldering material. 
Please check the actual production condition in detail.

4. Do not wash the relay as failures may occur.
5. This product is not plastic sealed type. Please perform 

coating with sufficient attention to avoid infiltration of the 
solvent to the inside. Also, please pay careful attention to 
use and store them with no contamination of foreign 
material.

• Latching relays are shipped from the factory in the reset 

state. A shock to the relay during shipping or installation 
may cause it to change to the set state.
Therefore, it is recommended that the relay be used in a 
circuit which initializes the relay to the required state 
(reset) whenever the power is turned on.

• Avoid impressing voltages to the set coil and reset coil at 

the same time.

• The positive “+” and negative “–” connections to the coil 

should be done as indicated on the wiring diagram. If 
connected incorrectly, it may malfunction or fail to 
operate.

• In order to cause setting and resetting of the latching 

relay, apply the rated square wave voltage using as a 
guide five times or more for the set time or the reset time 
of each product. Furthermore, please verify operation.

2. Specifications

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.
Please inquire our sales representative if you will be using the relay in a high temperature atmosphere (110

°

230

°

F

).

*4. Do not use for lamp loads, electric discharge lamp loads, any other lamp loads and capacitor loads. Please inquire our sales representative for details.

*If the relay is used continuously for long periods of time with coils on both sides in an energized condition, breakdown might occur due to abnormal heating depending 

on the carrying condition. Therefore, please inquire our sales representative when using with a circuit that causes an energized condition on both sides 
simultaneously.

NOTES

For general cautions for use, please refer to the “Automotive Relay Users Guide”.

Usage, transport and storage conditions

1) Ambient temperature, humidity, and air pressure during 
usage, transport, and storage of the relay:
(1) Temperature: –40 to +110

°

–40 to +230

°

F

 (High heat-

resistant type/Pin in Paste compliant type)
(2) Humidity: 2 to 85% RH (Avoid icing and condensation.)
(3) Air pressure: 86 to 106 kPa
The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the 
range indicated in the graph below.

[Temperature and humidity range for 

usage, transport, and storage]

Mounting and cleaning conditions for Pin in Paste 
compliant type

When soldering this relay, please observe the following 
conditions.
[I.R.S. method (recommended)]
(Recommended number of reflows: 1)

• Cautions for mounting

1. The temperature profile shows the temperature at the 

soldering portion on the PCB surface.

2. Depending on the mounting density condition, reflow 

heating method, and PCB type (metal etc.), the relay’s 
exterior and interior temperature may become extremely 
high.
Therefore, please confirm well under the actual use 
condition before use.

The other cautions of reflow soldering:

1. When soldering condition is out of recommendation, the 

relay performance may be adversely affected.
If soldering conditions are out of our recommendation, 
please contact us before operation.

2. Please check the effect at the actual soldering because 

heat stress to relay is changed by PCB type and 
manufacturing process condition.

3. Solder creepage, wettability or soldering strength will be 

affected by the mounting condition or soldering material. 
Please check the actual production condition in detail.

4. Do not wash the relay as failures may occur.
5. This product is not plastic sealed type. Please perform 

coating with sufficient attention to avoid infiltration of the 
solvent to the inside. Also, please pay careful attention to 
use and store them with no contamination of foreign 
material.

RATING

1. Coil data

Note: Other operate (set) voltage types are also available. Please inquire our sales representative for details.

2. Specifications

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.
Please inquire our sales representative if you will be using the relay in a high temperature atmosphere (110

RATING

1. Coil data

2. Specifications

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.
Please inquire our sales representative if you will be using the relay in a high temperature atmosphere (110

°

230

°

F

).

*4. Do not use for lamp loads, electric discharge lamp loads, any other lamp loads and capacitor loads. Please inquire our sales representative for details.

*If the relay is used continuously for long periods of time with coils on both sides in an energized condition, breakdown might occur due to abnormal heating depending 

on the carrying condition. Therefore, please inquire our sales representative when using with a circuit that causes an energized condition on both sides 
simultaneously.

NOTES

For general cautions for use, please refer to the “Automotive Relay Users Guide”.

Usage, transport and storage conditions

1) Ambient temperature, humidity, and air pressure during 
usage, transport, and storage of the relay:
(1) Temperature: –40 to +110

°

–40 to +230

°

F

(2) Humidity: 2 to 85% RH (Avoid icing and condensation.)
(3) Air pressure: 86 to 106 kPa
The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the 
range indicated in the graph below.

[Temperature and humidity range for 

usage, transport, and storage]

Mounting and cleaning conditions for Surface-mount 
terminal type relays

When soldering this relay, please observe the following 
conditions.
(Recommended conditions: Number of reflows: 1, Measurement 
location: terminal temperature)

Temperature profile indicates the temperature of the soldered 
part (Note 1) of terminals on the surface of a circuit board. 
*The temperature of the relay exterior and interior may be 
extremely high depending on the component density on the 
board, the heating method of the reflow oven or circuit board 
type. Sufficient verification under actual processing conditions is 
required.

Other cautions during reflow soldering
(1) Reflow performance may be affected if you carry out 

soldering in a way that exceeds the recommended 
conditions. If you need to exceed the recommended 
conditions when soldering, please inquire our sales 
representative before using in an application.

(2) Please confirm the heat stress of relay by using actual board 

because it may be changed by board condition or 
manufacturing process condition.

(3) Solder creepage, wettability, or soldering strength will be 

affected by the changing of soldering condition or used 
solder type. Please check them under the actual production 
condition in detail.

(4) Avoid cleaning (ultrasonic cleaning, boiling cleaning, etc.) 

and coating in order to prevent negative impacts on relay 
characteristics.

NOTES

For general cautions for use, please refer to the “Automotive Relay Users Guide”.

1. Coil operating power

Pure DC current should be applied to the coil. 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. Also, the power waveform should be rectangular.

2. Coil applied voltage

To ensure proper operation, the voltage applied to the coil 
should be the rated operating voltage of the coil. Also, be aware 
that the pick-up and drop-out voltages will fluctuate depending 
on the ambient temperature and operating conditions.

3. Expected life

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.

4. Soldering

When soldering the relays, ensure conformance with the 
conditions listed below.

1) Automatic soldering
Preheating soldering: 100

°

212

°

F

, within 2 sec (surface of PC 

board)
Soldering: 260

°

500

°

F

, within 5 sec

2) Manual soldering
Tip temperature: 280 to 300

°

536 to 572

°

F

.

Soldering iron: 30 to 60W
Soldering time: within 5 sec

5. Usage, transport and storage conditions

1) Ambient temperature, humidity, and air pressure during 
usage, transport, and storage of the relay:
(1) Temperature: 

–40 to +85

°

–40 to +185

°

F

 (Standard type)

–40 to +110

°

–40 to +230

°

F

 (High heat-resistant type)

(2) Humidity: 2 to 85% RH (Avoid icing and condensation.)
(3) Air pressure: 86 to 106 kPa

The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the 
range indicated in the graph below.

[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) Icing
Condensation or other moisture may ice on the relay when the 
temperature is lower than 0

°

32

°

F

. This causes problems such 

as sticking of movable parts, operational time lags or poor 
contact conduction.

4) Low temperature and low humidity environments
The plastic becomes brittle if the relay is exposed to a low 
temperature, low humidity environment for long periods of time.

6. Mounting and cleaning conditions for Pin-in-Paste 

compliant type

When soldering this relay, please observe the following 
conditions.
[I.R.S. method (recommended)]
(Recommended number of reflows: 1)

• Cautions for mounting

1. The temperature profile shows the temperature at the 

soldering portion on the PCB surface.

2. Depending on the mounting density condition, reflow 

heating method, and PCB type (metal etc.), the relay’s 
exterior and interior temperature may become extremely 
high.
Therefore, please confirm well under the actual use 
condition before use.

The other cautions of reflow soldering:

1. When soldering condition is out of recommendation, the 

relay performance may be adversely affected.
If soldering conditions are out of our recommendation, 
please contact us before operation.

2. Please check the effect at the actual soldering because 

heat stress to relay is changed by PCB type and 
manufacturing process condition.

3. Solder creepage, wettability or soldering strength will be 

affected by the mounting condition or soldering material. 
Please check the actual production condition in detail.

4. Do not wash the relay as failures may occur.
5. This product is not plastic sealed type. Please perform 

coating with sufficient attention to avoid infiltration of the 
solvent to the inside. Also, please pay careful attention to 
use and store them with no contamination of foreign 
material.

7. Others handling precautions

Do not use relays that have been dropped, because doing so 
may be a cause of faulty operation.

NOTES

For general cautions for use, please refer to the “Automotive Relay Users Guide”.

1. Coil operating power

Pure DC current should be applied to the coil. 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. Also, the power waveform should be rectangular.

2. Coil applied voltage

To ensure proper operation, the voltage applied to the coil 
should be the rated operating voltage of the coil. Also, be aware 
that the pick-up and drop-out voltages will fluctuate depending 
on the ambient temperature and operating conditions.

3. Expected life

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.

4. Soldering

When soldering the relays, ensure conformance with the 
conditions listed below.

1) Automatic soldering
Preheating soldering: 100

°

212

°

F

, within 2 sec (surface of PC 

board)
Soldering: 260

°

500

°

F

, within 5 sec

2) Manual soldering
Tip temperature: 280 to 300

°

536 to 572

°

F

.

Soldering iron: 30 to 60W
Soldering time: within 5 sec

5. Usage, transport and storage conditions

1) Ambient temperature, humidity, and air pressure during 
usage, transport, and storage of the relay:
(1) Temperature: 

–40 to +85

°

–40 to +185

°

F

 (Standard type)

–40 to +110

°

–40 to +230

°

F

 (High heat-resistant type)

(2) Humidity: 2 to 85% RH (Avoid icing and condensation.)
(3) Air pressure: 86 to 106 kPa

The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the 
range indicated in the graph below.

[Temperature and humidity range for usage, transport, 

and storage]

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

3) Icing
Water condensation or other moisture may ice on the relay when 
the temperature is lower than 0

°

32

°

F

. This causes problems 

such as sticking of movable parts, operational time lags or poor 
contact conduction.

4) Low-temperature, low-humidity atmosphere
If the relay is exposed to a low-temperature, low-humidity 
atmosphere for a long time, its plastic parts may become brittle 
and fagile.

6. Others handling precautions

Do not use relays that have been dropped, because doing so 
may be a cause of faulty operation.

RATING

1. Coil data

2. Specifications

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.
Please inquire our sales representative if you will be using the relay in a high temperature atmosphere (110

1. Coil data

2. Specifications

Notes: *1. Depends on connection conditions. Also, this does not guarantee repeated switching. We recommend that you confirm operation under actual conditions.

*2. 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.

*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. For details, please refer to the 

“Automotive Relay Users Guide”.

*4. Please inquire our sales representative if you will be using the relay in a high temperature atmosphere.

• Latching relays are shipped from the factory in the reset 

state. A shock to the relay during shipping or installation 
may cause it to change to the set state.
Therefore, it is recommended that the relay be used in a 
circuit which initializes the relay to the required state 
(reset) whenever the power is turned on.

• Avoid impressing voltages to the set coil and reset coil at 

the same time.

• When connecting coils, refer to the wiring diagram to 

prevent mis-operation or malfunction.

1. Usage, transport and storage conditions

1) Temperature: –40 to +85

°

–40 to +185

°

F

2) Humidity: 5 to 85% RH (Avoid icing and condensation.)
The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the 
range indicated in the graph below.
3) Air pressure: 86 to 106 kPa

[Temperature and humidity range for 

usage, transport, and storage]

4) Water condensation
Water 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 Corporation does not guarantee the failures caused 
by condensation.
5) Low-temperature, low-humidity atmosphere;
If the relay is exposed to a low-temperature, low-humidity 
atmosphere for a long time, its plastic parts may become brittle 
and fragile.
6) Icing
Please check the icing when an ambient temperature is lower 
than 0

°

+32

°

F

. Water drop adheres to the relay by the 

condensation or the abnormal high humidity and is frozen to the 
ice when the ambient temperature becomes lower than 0

°

+32

°

F

. The icing causes the sticking of movable portion, the 

operation delay and the contact conduction failure etc. 
Panasonic Corporation 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 confirm no 
icing in the worst condition of the actual usage.
7) Storage
Do not keep under high-temperature and high-humidity.

2. Electrical life

This relay is a high-voltage direct-current switch. In its final 
breakdown mode, it may lose the ability to provide the proper 
switch-off. Therefore, do not exceed the indicated switching 
capacity and life.
(Please treat the relay as a product with limited life and replace it 
when necessary.)
In the event that the relay loses switch-off ability, there is a 
possibility that burning may spread to surrounding parts, so 
configure the layout so that the power is turned off within one 
second.

3. The contacts of the relay are polarized, so follow the 
connection schematic when connecting the contacts.

4. Be careful that foreign matter and oils and fats kind don’t 
stick to the main terminal parts because it is likely to cause 
terminal parts to give off unusual heat.

Also, please use the following materials for connected 
harnesses and bus bars.
• Nominal cross-sectional area: Min. 2 mm

2

 

5. As a guide, the insertion strength of the plug-in terminal 
into the relay tab terminal should be 40 to 80N. Please 
select a plug-in terminal (flat connection terminal) which 
comply with JIS C2809-1999.

• Plate thickness 0.8mm and #250 tab terminal

6. Other cautions for use

1) Please make sure to contact our company when the product 
is used not in accordance with its specifications. Your nearest 
sales office will review the required specification from your 
company and perform confirmation tests in actual condition as 
needed. Please check “Automotive relay user’s guide” for use of 
relays.
2) When the voltage is applied to the relay coil beyond the max. 
allowable voltage range, the relay operation cannot be assured. 
Additionally the ambient temperature and condition of your 
application should be considered under the worst condition of 
the actual usage because they may change the relay operate 
and release voltage.
* It is not allowed to apply the continuous maximum voltage to 

the coil.
In order to obtain the specified performance, please apply the 
rated voltage.

3) If it includes ripple, the ripple factor should be max. 5%.
In addition, do not have a parallel connection with diode for the 
purpose of coil surge absorber.
If only diode is connected in parallel to the relay coil, break 
performance of relay cannot be assured because contact 
release speed becomes slower. So do not use such a circuit. 
Instead of diode, a Varistor (ZNR) or Zener diode (ZD) when 
clamp voltage is 1.5 times larger than the rated voltage (Min. 
18V for the rated 12V-relay), shall be used for the absorber.

Ex.1  When Varistor (ZNR) is used

Recommended Varistor; Energy capability: Min 1 J
(However, please set up the value with consideration of the 
worst value in use condition.)
Varistor Voltage: Min. 18V at 12V DC

°

C to 35

°

°

F to 95

°

F

, humidity 

25%RH to 75%RH)
Lifetime is dependent on the coil driving circuit, load type, 
operation frequency and ambient conditions.
Check lifetime under the actual condition. Especially, contact 
terminals have polarity. So if the contact terminals were 
connected with opposite pole, the electrical life would be 
shortened.
5) If the relay is dropped, it should not be used again.
6) Please contact our sales representative when AC load gets 
applied to this relay.
Careful handing is required for switching AC load with this relay.
7) Please check the internal connection diagram in the catalog 
or specification, and connect the terminals correctly.
If any wrong connection is made, it may cause circuit damage by 
unexpected malfunction, abnormal heat, fire, and so on.
8) Please check the insulation distance between each terminal 
and ground.
9) Please assure the evaluation of the relay under the actual 
worst condition to enhance the reliability for the actual usage.
10) Please absolutely avoid the ultrasonic and high frequency 
vibration to the relay that adversely affects its performance.
11) Minimum switching load is the lower limit switching current 
under the micro-load. When the relay is used below minimum 
switching load, reliability becomes lower. Please use the relay 
beyond minimum switching load.
Additionally, minimum switching load is changed by coil drive 
circuit, type of load, switching frequency and environment 
condition.
So please confirm the reliability with actual load under the 
assumed actual environment.
12) The relay should not be installed near strong magnetic fields 
(transformers, magnets, etc.) and should not be installed near 
heat source.
13) If the several relays are mounted closely or a heat-
generation object is close to the relay, it may cause troubles the 
abnormal temperature-rise and the short insulation distance 
terminals outside of the relay so please assure the evaluation of 
the relay under the actual worst condition.
14) After that the relay has been applied with the rated voltage 
and current to the coil continuously and then the relay is once 
switched off and switched on immediately, the relay coil 
resistance may be increased due to the coil temperature 
increase.
This will result in higher operate voltage and the value will 
surpass the rated operate voltage value. In order to avoid this 
failure, the following countermeasures are recommended.
  - decrease of the load current
  - restriction of time to apply voltage
  - restriction of operating ambient temperature, etc.

15) If an inductive load (L/R > 1ms) is applied, add surge 
protection in parallel with the inductive load. If this is not done,
the electrical life will be shortened and cut-off failure may occur.
16) In case using a capacitive load (C-load), please take a 
countermeasure as pre-charging to the capacitive load so that 
the inrush current will not surpass 15A. The relay may have a 
contact welding without such countermeasure.
17) Use the suitable wire or bus bar according to the current. If 
the wire diameter is thin, maximum allowable contact current 
cannot be assured.
Ex.) Carrying current; 10A: diameter of 2mm

2

 (minimum) (for 

wire at the load side)
18) Take care to disconnect from the power supply when wiring.
19) The relay satisfies water resistance level of JIS D0203 R2. 
Please take any countermeasures additionally if it is installed in 
the place where higher water resistance level is required.
20) Do not use this product in such atmosphere where any kind 
of organic solvent (as benzene, thinner and alcohol) and the 
strong alkali (as ammonia and caustic soda) may be adhered to 
this product.
21) Be careful that oils and foreign matter do not stick to the 
main terminal part because it is likely to cause a terminal part to 
give off unusual heat.
22) Do not make additional manufacturing upon the relay 
housing.
23) Maximum overcurrent value in this specification is limited as 
single operation only. In the case of multiple operation, this relay 
may cause malfunction by heating. So, please confirm the 
temperature / operation using your application.
In the case of multiple operation, please stop applying the over 
current to secure the relay’s temperature under the maximum 
ambient temperature.
24) When applying current which includes precipitous changes 
or ripple, the relay may generate buzzing sound.
Therefore, please confirm with the actual load.

ASCTB384E   201709-T

NOTES

1. Usage, transport and storage conditions

Ambient temperature, humidity, and air pressure during usage, 
transport, and storage of the relay
1) Temperature: –40 to +80

°

–40 to +176

°

F

 (200 A and 300 A 

types: –40 to +85

°

–40 to +185

°

F

)

2) Humidity: 5 to 85% RH 
(Avoid icing and condensation.)
The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the 
range indicated in the graph below.
3) Air pressure: 86 to 106 kPa

[Temperature and humidity range for 

usage, transport, and storage]

4) Water condensation
Water 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 Corporation*3 does not guarantee the failures 
caused by condensation.
5) Low-temperature, low-humidity atmosphere;
If the relay is exposed to a low-temperature, low-humidity 
atmosphere for a long time, its plastic parts may become brittle 
and fragile.
6) Storage
Do not keep under high-temperature and high-humidity.

2. Condition of tightening screw

Tighten each screw within the rated range given below.
Exceeding the maximum torque may result in breakage. 
Mounting is possible in either direction.
<Relay attaching portion>
• M4 screw (for 10A type): 1.8 to 2.7 N·m
• M5 screw (for except 10A type): 3 to 4 N·m
<Main terminal attaching portion>
• M4 bolt (for Compact high short-circuit capacity and Quiet 
horizontal types): 2.2 to 2.8 N·m
• M5 nut (for 80A and Quiet type): 3 to 4 N·m
• M6 nut (for 120A and 200A type): 6 to 8 N·m
• M8 nut (for 300A type): 10 to 12 N·m

3. Electrical life

This relay is a high-voltage direct-current switch. In its final 
breakdown mode, it may lose the ability to provide the proper 
switch-off. Therefore, do not exceed the indicated switching 
capacity and life. 
(Please treat the relay as a product with limited life and replace it 
when necessary.)

In the event that the relay loses switch-off ability, there is a 
possibility that burning may spread to surrounding parts, so 
configure the layout so that the power is turned off within one 
second.

4. Permeation life of internal gas

This relay uses a hermetically encased contact (capsule 
contact) with gas inside. The gas has a permeation life that is 
affected by the temperature inside the capsule contact (ambient 
temperature and temperature rise due to flow of electrical 
current). For this reason, make sure the ambient operating 
temperature is between –40 and +80

°

–40 and +176

°

F

 (200A 

and 300A types: Max. +85

°

+185

°

F

), and the ambient storage 

temperature is between –40 and +85

°

–40 and +185

°

F

.

5. The coils (300A type) and contacts (except compact high 
short-circuit capacity type) of the relay are polarized, so 
follow the connection schematic when connecting the coils 
and contacts.

The 300A type contains a reverse surge voltage absorption 
circuit; therefore a surge protector is not needed.

6. For the 300A type, drive the coil with a quick startup.

(Built-in one-shot pulse generator circuit)

7. After the ON signal enters the 300A type, automatic coil 
current switching occurs after approximately 0.1 seconds.

Do not repeatedly turn it OFF within that 0.1 seconds interval, as 
doing so may damage the relay.

8. Be careful that foreign matter and oils and fats kind don’t 
stick to the main terminal portion because it is likely to 
cause terminal portion to give off unusual heat.

Also, please use the following materials for connected 
harnesses and bus bars.
10A type: Min. 2 mm

2

 nominal cross-sectional area

20A type: Min. 3 mm

2

 nominal cross-sectional area

60A and 80A types: Min. 15 mm

 nominal cross-sectional area

120A type: Min. 38 mm

 nominal cross-sectional area

200A type: Min. 60 mm

2

 nominal cross-sectional area

300A type: Min. 100 mm

2

 nominal cross-sectional area

9. As a guide, the insertion strength of the plug-in terminal 
into the relay tab terminal should be 40 to 70N (10A type), 40 
to 80N (20A and Quiet horizontal types). Please select a

12. Other cautions for use

1) Please make sure to contact our company when the product 
is used not in accordance with its specifications. Your nearest 
sales office will review the required specification from your 
company and perform confirmation tests in actual condition as 
needed. Please check “Automotive relay user’s guide” for use of 
relays.
2) When the voltage is applied to the relay coil beyond the max. 
allowable voltage range, the relay operation cannot be assured. 
Additionally the ambient temperature and condition of your 
application should be considered under the worst condition of 
the actual usage because they may change the relay operate 
and release voltage.
* It is not allowed to apply the continuous maximum voltage to 

the coil.
In order to obtain the specified performance, please apply the 
rated voltage.

3) If it includes ripple, the ripple factor should be max. 5%.
In addition, do not have a parallel connection with diode for the 
purpose of coil surge absorber.
If only diode is connected in parallel to the relay coil, break 
performance of relay cannot be assured because contact 
release speed becomes slower. So do not use such a circuit. 
Instead of diode, a Varistor (ZNR) or Zener diode (ZD) when 
clamp voltage is 1.5 times larger than the rated voltage (Min. 
18V for the rated 12V-relay), shall be used for the absorber.

Ex.1  When Varistor (ZNR) is used

Recommended Varistor; Energy capability: Min 1 J
(However, please set up the value with consideration of the 
worst value in use condition.)
Varistor Voltage: Min. 18V at 12V DC

Min. 36V at 24V DC

Ex.2  When Zener diode (circuit) is used

4) Lifetime is specified under the standard test conditions in JIS 
C 5442. (temperature 15

°

C to 35

°

59

°

F to 95

°

F

, humidity 

25%RH to 75%RH)
Lifetime is dependent on the coil driving circuit, load type, 
operation frequency and ambient conditions.
Check lifetime under the actual condition. Especially, contact 
terminals have polarity. So if the contact terminals were 
connected with opposite pole, the electrical life would be 
shortened.
5) If the relay is dropped, it should not be used again.
6) Please contact our sales representative when AC load gets 
applied to this relay.
Careful handing is required for switching AC load with this relay.
7) Please check the internal connection diagram in the catalog 
or specification, and connect the terminals correctly.
If any wrong connection is made, it may cause circuit damage by 
unexpected malfunction, abnormal heat, fire, and so on.

8) Please check the insulation distance between each terminal 
and ground.
9) Please assure the evaluation of the relay under the actual 
worst condition to enhance the reliability for the actual usage.
10) Please absolutely avoid the ultrasonic and high frequency 
vibration to the relay that adversely affects its performance.
11) Minimum switching load is the lower limit switching current 
under the micro-load. When the relay is used below minimum 
switching load, reliability becomes lower. Please use the relay 
beyond minimum switching load.
Additionally, minimum switching load is changed by coil drive 
circuit, type of load, switching frequency and environment 
condition.
So please confirm the reliability with actual load under the 
assumed actual environment.
12) As for the screws of fixing relay-body and screws of fixing 
contact terminal, the tightening torque must be within the 
specified range.
• The purpose of the tightening torque for the contact terminal is 
to secure adhesion force (axial force) at the fixing part and 
provide stable electrical connection.
Therefore, do not use the screws (bolts and nuts) which require 
rotation torque of locking type (prevailing torque type) because 
sufficient adhesion force (axial force) may not be secured.
In addition, if the locking type nut is used, an excessive torque 
may be applied to the case before generating of axial force and 
may cause breakage of the case.
• Regarding the screw for fixing relay body, please use suitable 
screws after adequate verification at user’s side.
13) The relay should not be installed near strong magnetic fields 
(transformers, magnets, etc.) and should not be installed near 
heat source.
14) If the several relays are mounted closely or a heat-
generation object is close to the relay, it may cause troubles the 
abnormal temperature-rise and the short insulation distance 
terminals outside of the relay so please assure the evaluation of 
the relay under the actual worst condition.
15) The relay contacts are encapsulated in an inert gas 
atmosphere. So, please avoid using or storing beyond the 
allowable ambient temperature range.
16) After that the relay has been applied with the rated voltage 
and current to the coil continuously and then the relay is once 
switched off and switched on immediately, the relay coil 
resistance may be increased due to the coil temperature 
increase.
This will result in higher operate voltage and the value will 
surpass the rated operate voltage value. In order to avoid this 
failure, the following countermeasures are recommended.
  - decrease of the load current
  - restriction of time to apply voltage
  - restriction of operating ambient temperature, etc.
17) If an inductive load (L/R > 1ms) is applied, add surge 
protection in parallel with the inductive load. If this is not done,
the electrical life will be shortened and cut-off failure may occur.
18) In case using a capacitive load (C-load), please take a 
countermeasure as pre-charging to the capacitive load so that 
the inrush current will not surpass performance condition. The 
relay may have a contact welding without such countermeasure.
19) Use the suitable wire or bus bar according to the current. If 
the wire diameter is thin, maximum allowable contact current 
cannot be assured.
Ex.) Carrying current; 120A: diameter of 38mm

2

 (minimum) (for 

wire at the load side)
20) Take care to disconnect from the power supply when wiring.

For general cautions for use, please refer to the “Automotive Relay Users Guide”.

21) The tension load applied to the coil lead wire when wiring 
should be max. 10N. In addition, take care not to bend at the 
lead wire pullout portion when wiring or apply a stationary load 
to the lead wire after wiring to avoid failure of the relay such as 
breaking of wire.
22) The relay satisfies water resistance level of JIS D 0203 R2. 
Please take any countermeasures additionally if it is installed in 
the place where higher water resistance level is required.
23) Do not use this product in such atmosphere where any kind 
of organic solvent (as benzene, thinner and alcohol) and the 
strong alkali (as ammonia and caustic soda) may be adhered to 
this product.
24) Be careful that oils and foreign matter do not stick to the 
main terminal part because it is likely to cause a terminal part to 
give off unusual heat.
25) Do not make additional manufacturing upon the relay 
housing.
26) Maximum overcurrent value in this specification is limited as 
single operation only. In the case of multiple operation, this relay 
may cause malfunction by heating. So, please confirm the 
temperature / operation using your application.
In the case of multiple operation, please stop applying the over 
current to secure the relay's temperature under the maximum 
ambient temperature.
27) When applying current which includes precipitous changes 
or ripple, the relay may generate buzzing sound.
Therefore, please confirm with the actual load.

DESCRIPTION OF USAGE

1. Application

EV switch is a safety switch for cut-off a battery power supply from a system circuit, in order to protect a human body from the electric 
shock accidents at the time of a maintenance, etc.

2. How to use

1) When the switch is turned ON and OFF, in principle the battery power is already cut-off by the system side (no current-passing 
condition). Please turn the lever to the ON side and the OFF side. Do not switch current by contact turning ON. However, the switch 
can cut-off the power directly, even when power is not cut-off by the system. Please refer to the specification regarding the cut-off 
performance.
2) When turning the switch ON, the product is designed to prevent malfunction by not allowing it to turn ON unless the interlock button 
is pressed when the lever is operated.

*1: At the time of OFF operation, the lever can change to OFF position without operation of the interlock button.
*2: Please operate the lever after making the interlock button slide down completely to the side of the cover.

[If contact welding occurs]
Contact welding may occur if current is switched by contact turning ON or if current that exceeds the specifications is continuously 
applied when the power is ON. This switch indicates contact welding by doing (1) and (2), below.
(1) The lever will not go all the way to the OFF position when you try to turn it off, and when you release the lever it returns to the 
window that displays “RED”.
(2) The interlock button does not return.

*Please be careful. In this state the switch’s contacts are not OFF.

NOTES

1. Usage, transport and storage conditions

1) Temperature: –40 to +80

°

–40 to +176

°

F

2) Humidity: 5 to 85% RH 
(Avoid icing and condensation.)
The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the 
range indicated in the graph below.
3) Air pressure: 86 to 106 kPa

[Temperature and humidity range 

for usage, transport, and storage]

4) Water condensation
Water 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 Corporation*3 does not guarantee the failures 
caused by condensation.
5) Low-temperature, low-humidity atmosphere;
If the relay is exposed to a low-temperature, low-humidity 
atmosphere for a long time, its plastic parts may become brittle 
and fragile.
6) Icing
Please check the icing when an ambient temperature is lower 
than 0

°

+32

°

F

. Water drop adheres to the relay by the 

condensation or the abnormal high humidity and is frozen to the 
ice when the ambient temperature becomes lower than 0

°

+32

°

F

. The icing causes the sticking of movable portion, the 

operation delay and the contact conduction failure etc.
Panasonic Corporation 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 confirm no 
icing in the worst condition of the actual usage.
7) Storage
Do not keep under high-temperature and high-humidity.

2. When installing the switch, always use washers to 
prevent the screws from loosening.
Regarding the torque value for contact terminal, it is 
intended that secure an electrical connection stability by 
getting enough contact pressure (Axial force) of fixing part. 
Therefore, please do not use the screw (a bolt and a nut) 
preventing looseness needing running torque (Prevailing 
torque type and Self lock type) because enough tightening 
force in axial direction may not be secured.
In addition, there is high possibility that a case of a switch 
may be broken if users use the nut for EV switch.
Because excessive torque is applied to a case of a switch 
before generation of contact pressure. (Axial force).
Regarding the torque value for the main body of a switch, 
please use suitable screw on own verification.

3. Attachment environment

4. Please do not remove the assembly screw of the switch. 
Otherwise the performance cannot be guaranteed. 
Moreover, in order to prevent from removing the assembly 
screw easily, please attach the assembly screw showing its 
backside.

5. Please note the polarity of the terminal. Please abide by 
the connection of polarity described to this catalog. The 
performance cannot be satisfied when reversely connected. 
It becomes a cause of the accident.

6. The switch should not be installed near strong magnetic 
fields (transformers, magnets, etc.) and should not be 
installed near heat source.

7. If the several switches are mounted closely or a heat-
generation object is close to the switch, take care to check 
the abnormal temperature-rise and the insulation distance 
between the terminals outside of the switch.

8. The switch contacts are encapsulated type filled with gas. 
Therefore, care must be exercised when the switch is to be 
used or stored at high ambient temperature.

9. If the switch is used for an inductive load (L load) such 
that L/R > 1ms, add surge protection in parallel with the 
inductive load. If this is not done, the electrical life will 
decrease and cut-off failure may occur.

10. When the short-circuit current is large, there is 
possibility that the switch will be destroyed by the time the 
power supply is intercepted with the fuse. Therefore, please 
confirm it enough with the system. 

11. There is a possibility of performance change due to 
transfer effect through terminal from connected 
components and radiation heat (e.g. fuse) around the 
switch. 

12. Please consider the layout which avoids conductive 
liquid on solvent such as water etc. from the switch for the 
prevention of electric shock.

13. If the switch is used exceeding the contact rating or 
cycle lifetime, this may result in the risk of overheating.

For general cautions for use, please refer to the “Automotive Relay Users Guide”.

14. Contact welding may occur if current is switched by 
contact turning ON or if current that exceeds the 
specifications is continuously applied when the power is 
ON.
The switch indicates ‘RED’ on the display window if contact 
welding occur. (Please refer to ‘Description of usage’)
However when abnormalities such as fuse disconnection 
etc. occurred, even if the display window does not become 
RED, please check the OFF state of the contact with a tester 
etc. and be sure to wear protective equipment before 
operating.

15. Please consider safety measures such as detection of 
ON/OFF state of a high voltage circuit, earth fault detection, 
and temperature detection by a system for high voltage 
circuit. Moreover, please consider safety measures that 
high voltage part work cannot be performed, if it is not in a 
high voltage circuit OFF state with a system or structure, 
when operating high voltage part work.

16. If the switch is dropped, it should not be used again.

17. Take care to avoid cross connections as they may cause 
malfunctions or overheating.

18. Use the suitable wire/bus bar according to the current.

*Recommendation: more than 20 mm

Moreover, please consider the layout that the wire/bus bar 
can fix to the plate and please do not free the load-side 
electric wire/bus bar linked to a switch.
When terminal of switch and load-side wire/bus bar have a 
clearance gap, please do not carry out Screw-fastening with 
force. Please set up the order of fixation and layout which 
can make the smallest clearance gap at the time of screw-
fastening.

19. Do not use this product in such atmosphere where any 
kind of organic solvent (as benzene, thinner and alcohol) 
and the strong alkali (as ammonia caustic soda) might be 
adhered to this product.

20. Although the gas enclosure type seal contact is used 
inside the switch (capsule contact), since the product itself 
is not a seal type, please do not use it under dust 
environment or the environment where direct water and a 
solvent adhere to the product.

21. Be careful that oil or foreign matter do not stick to the 
main terminal part because it is likely to cause the terminal 
part to give off unusual heat.

22. Do not make additional manufacturing upon the switch 
housing.

23. For AC cut-off these is no contact polarity, but confirm 
the electric life using the actual load.
