NOTES
1. Regarding cautions for use, please refer to “GENERAL
APPLICATION GUIDELINES” on our general catalog.
2. 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. The wave form of power should be rectangular. To
ensure accurate operation, the voltage on both sides of the coil
should be ±5% (at 20°C 68°F) of the nominal coil voltage. Also,
please note that the pick-up and drop-out voltages (set and reset
voltages) will change depending on operation temperature and
conditions of use.
3. Coil connection
This relay is polarized relay, the coil voltage must be applied with
correct polarity.
4. External magnetic field
Since RN relays are highly sensitive polarized relays, their
characteristics will be affected by a strong external magnetic
field. Avoid using the relay under that condition.
5. Cleaning
This product is not sealed type, therefore washing is not allowed.
6. Conditions for operation, transport and storage
1) Temperature: –40 to +85°C –40 to +185°F (But allowable
temperature is from –40 to +60°C –40 to +140°F at our standard
packing condition.)
2) Humidity: 5 to 85% R.H. (Avoid freezing and condensation.)
The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the
range indicated in the graph below.
3) Atmospheric pressure: 86 to 106 kPa
Temperature and humidity range for usage, transport, and
storage
4) Condensation
Condensation forms when there is a sudden change in
temperature under high temperature and high humidity
conditions. Condensation will cause deterioration of the relay
insulation.
5) Freezing
Condensation or other moisture may freeze on the relay when
the temperature is lower than 0°C 32°F. This causes problems
such as sticking of movable parts or operational time lags.
6) 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.
7) Storage requirements
Since the relay is sensitive to humidity, it comes in sealed anti-
humidity packaging. However, when storing, please be careful of
the following.
(1) Please use promptly once the anti-humidity pack is opened.
(2) When storing for a log period after opening the anti-humidity
pack, storage in anti-humidity packaging with an antihumidity
bag to which silica gel has been added, is recommended.
*Furthermore, if the relay is solder mounted when it has been
subjected to excessive humidity, cracks and leaks can occur. Be
sure to mount the relay under the required mounting conditions.
7. Soldering
Please meet the following conditions if this relay is to be
automatically soldered.
1) Position of measuring temperature
2) IR (infrared reflow) soldering method
• Mounting cautions
Rise in relay temperature depends greatly on the component
mix on a given PC board and the heating method of the reflow
equipment. Therefore, please test beforehand using actual
equipment to ensure that the temperature where the relay
terminals are soldered and the temperature at the top of the
relay case are within the conditions given above.
3) Please meet the following conditions if this relay is to be
soldered by hand.
(1) Max. 260°C 500°F (solder temperature), within 10 seconds
(soldering time)
(2) Max. 350°C 662°F (solder temperature), within 3 seconds
(soldering time)
The effect on the relay depends on the actual PC board used.
Please verify the PC board to be used.

9. Measuring method of high frequency characteristics
(Impedance 50Ω)
Connect connectors 1 and 2 respectively to PORT 1 and
PORT 2. Perform calibration using the 3.5 mm calibration kit
(HP85052B).
After calibration, connect the D.U.T. board and measure.
However, connectors other than those for measurement should
be connected with a 50Ω termination resistor.
D.U.T. board
Dimensions (mm inch)
Material: Glass PTFE (double-sided, through hole PC board)
R-4737 (Panasonic Corporation)
Board thickness: t = 0.8 mm .031 inch
Copper plating thickness: 18 µm
Connector (SMA type)
Product name: 01K1808-00 (Waka Manufacturing Co., Ltd.)
Insertion loss compensation: The insertion loss of relay itself is
given by subtracting the insertion loss of calibration board.
10. Others
1) The switching lifetime is defined under the standard test
condition specified in the JIS* C 5442 standard (temperature
15 to 35°C 59 to 95°F, humidity 25 to 75%RH). 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. *JIS: Japanese Industrial Standards
Also, be especially careful of loads such as those listed below.
• When used for AC load-operating and the operating phase is
synchronous, rocking and fusing can easily occur due
to contact shifting.
• When high-frequency opening and closing of the relay is
performed with a load that causes arcs at the contacts, nitrogen
and oxygen in the air is fused by the arc energy and HNO3 is
formed. This can corrode metal materials.
Three countermeasures for these are listed here.
(1) Incorporate an arc-extinguishing circuit.
(2) Lower the operating frequency
(3) Lower the ambient humidity
2) Use the relay within specifications such as coil rating, contact
rating and on/off service life. If used beyond limits, the relay may
overheat, generate smoke or catch fire.
3) Be careful not to drop the relay. If accidentally dropped,
carefully check its appearance and characteristics before use.
4) Be careful to wire the relay correctly. Otherwise, malfunction,
overheat, fire or other trouble may occur.
5) If a relay stays on in a circuit for many months or years at a
time without being activated, circuit design should be reviewed
so that the relay can remain non-excited. A coil that receives
current all the time heats, which degrades insulation earlier than
expected. A latching type relay is recommended for such
circuits.
6) To ensure accurate operation of the latching type amidst
surrounding temperature changes and other factors that might
affect the set and reset pulse times, we recommend a coil
impress set and reset pulse width of at least 30 ms at
the rated operation voltage.
7) The latching type relay is shipped in the reset position. But
jolts during transport or impacts during installation can change
the reset position. It is, therefore, advisable to build a circuit in
which the relay can be initialized (set and reset) just after turning
on the power.
8) If silicone materials (e.g., silicone rubbers, silicone oils,
silicone coating agents, silicone sealers) are used in the vicinity
of the relay, the gas emitted from the silicone may adhere to the
contacts of the relay during opening and closing and lead to
improper contact. If this is the case, use a material other than
silicone.
