For cautions for use, please read "GENERAL APPLICATION GUIDELINES". 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 should be rectangular. 3. Coil connection When connecting coils, refer to the wiring diagram to prevent mis-operation or malfunction. 4. Cleaning This relay is not sealed, therefore, immersion may cause failure. Be careful that flux does not overflow onto the PC board or penetrate inside the relay. 5. Soldering When using automatic soldering, the following conditions are recommended 1) Preheating: 120C 248F, within 120 Sec (PC board solder surface) 2) Soldering: 260C5C 500F41F, within 6 Sec 6. Other 1) If the relay has been dropped, the appearance and characteristics should always be checked before use. 2) The switching lifetime is defined under the standard test condition specified in the JIS* C 5442-1996 standard (temperature 15 to 35C 59 to 95F, humidity 25 to 75%). Check this with the actual product as it is affected by the coil driving circuit, load type, activation frequency, activation phase, ambient conditions and other factors. Also, be especially careful with loads such as those listed below. (1) When used for AC load-operation and the operating phase is synchronous. Rocking and fusing can easily occur due to contact shifting. (2) During high frequency on/off operation with certain loads, arcing may occur at the contacts. This can cause fusion to Oxygen and Nitrogen gas in the air creating Nitric Acid (HNO3) which can cause corrosion to the contacts. Please see the following countermeasure examples: 1. Incorporate an arc-extinguishing circuit. 2. Lower the operating frequency 3. Lower the ambient humidity 3) For secure operations, nominal coil voltage should be applied. In addition, please note that pick-up and drop-out voltage will vary according to the ambient temperature and operating conditions. 4) Heat, smoke, and/or fire may occur if the relay is used outside the allowable ranges for the coil ratings, contact ratings, operating cycle lifetime, and other specifications. Therefore, do not use the relay if these ratings are exceeded. Also, make sure that the relay is wired correctly. 5) Incorrect wiring may cause false operation or generate heat or flames. 6) Check the ambient conditions when storing or transporting the relays and devices containing the relays. Freezing or condensation may occur in the relay causing damage. Avoid exposing the relays to heavy loads, or strong shock and vibration. 7. Usage, transport and storage conditions 1) Ambient temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure during usage, transport, and storage of the relay: (1) Temperature: -40 to +85C -40 to +185F (When the temperature is 70 to 85C 158 to 185F, reduce the 6 A max. switching current by 0.1 A/C.) (2) Humidity: 5 to 85% RH (Avoid freezing and condensation.) The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the range indicated in the graph below. (3) Atmospheric pressure: 86 to 106 kPa Temperature and humidity range for usage, transport, and storage Humidity, %RH 85 Tolerance range (Avoid freezing when used at temperatures lower than 0C 32F) 5 -40 -40 (Avoid condensation when used at temperatures higher than 0C 32F) 0 +32 Temperature, C F 85 +185 2) Condensation Condensation forms when there is a sudden change in temperature under high temperature and high humidity conditions. Condensation will cause deterioration of the relay insulation. 3) Freezing Condensation or other moisture may freeze on the relay when the temperatures is lower than 0C 32F. This causes problems such as sticking of movable parts or operational time lags. 4) Low temperature and low humidity At low temperature, low humidity environments, the plastic becomes brittle. Please note corrections. 8. Please connect DC coil types with LED and built-in diode correctly by verifying the coil polarity ("+" and "-"). Connecting with reverse polarity will cause the LED not to light and damage the built-in diode due to its specification. -6- ASCTB119E 201507-T SF RELAYS ACCESSORIES Slim type (Sockets and DIN rail terminal sockets) TYPES 1.

(circuits for emergency lamps, alarm devices and error inspection that, for example, revert only during malfunction and output warnings with form B contacts) Continuous, long-term current to the coil will facilitate deterioration of coil insulation and characteristics due to heating of the coil itself. For circuits such as these, please use a magnetic-hold type latching relay. If you need to use a single stable relay, use a sealed type relay that is not easily affected by ambient conditions and make a failsafe circuit design that considers the possibility of contact failure or disconnection. DC Coil operating power Steady state DC current should be applied to the coil. The wave form should be rectangular. If it includes ripple, the ripple factor should be less than 5%. However, please check with the actual circuit since the electrical characteristics may vary. The rated coil voltage should be applied to the coil and the set/reset pulse time of latching type relay differs for each relays, please refer to the relay's individual specifications. Maximum allowable voltage and temperature rise Proper usage requires that the rated coil voltage be impressed on the coil. Note, however, that if a voltage greater than or equal to the maximum continuous voltage is impressed on the coil, the coil may burn or its layers short due to the temperature rise. Furthermore, do not exceed the usable ambient temperature range listed in the catalog. perate voltage change due to coil temperature rise O (Hot start) In DC relays, after continuous passage of current in the coil, if the current is turned OFF, then immediately turned ON again, due to the temperature rise in the coil, the pick-up voltage will become somewhat higher. Also, it will be the same as using it in a higher temperature atmosphere. The resistance/temperature relationship for copper wire is about 0.4% for 1C, and with this ratio the coil resistance increases. That is, in order to operate of the relay, it is necessary that the voltage be higher than the pick-up voltage and the pick-up voltage rises in accordance with the increase in the resistance value. However, for some polarized relays, this rate of change is considerably smaller. Coil connection When connecting coils of polarized relays, please check coil polarity (+,-) at the internal connection diagram (Schematic). If any wrong connection is made, it may cause unexpected malfunction, like abnormal heat, fire and so on, and circuit do not work. Avoid impressing voltages to the set coil and reset coil at the same time. Ambient Environment Usage, Transport, and Storage Conditions During usage, storage, or transportation, avoid locations subjected to direct sunlight and maintain normal temperature, humidity and pressure conditions. Temperature/Humidity/Pressure When transporting or storing relays while they are tube packaged, there are cases the temperature may differ from the allowable range. In this case be sure to check the individual specifications. Also allowable humidity level is influenced by temperature, please check charts shown below and use relays within mentioned conditions. (Allowable temperature values differ for each relays, please refer to the relay's individual specifications.) 1) Temperature: The tolerance temperature range differs for each relays, please refer to the relay's individual specifications 2) Humidity: 5 to 85 % RH 3) Pressure: 86 to 106 kPa HumidityRH 85 Allowable range Avoid icing when used at temperatures lower than 0C 5 Avoid condensation when used at temperatures higher than 0C 0 -40 Ambient temperature 85 Panasonic Corporation Electromechanical Control Business Division industrial.panasonic.com/ac/e/ Dew condensation 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 device itself, and the condensation may occur. Please conduct product evaluations in the worst condition of the actual usage. (Special attention should be paid when high temperature heating parts are close to the device. Also please consider the condensation may occur inside of the device.) Icing Condensation or other moisture may freeze on relays when the temperature become lower than 0C.This 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 conduct product evaluations in the worst condition of the actual usage. Low temperature and low humidity The plastic becomes brittle if the switch is exposed to a low temperature, low humidity environment for long periods of time. High temperature and high humidity Storage for extended periods of time (including transportation periods) at high temperature or high humidity levels or in atmospheres with organic gases or sulfide gases may cause a sulfide film or oxide film to form on the surfaces of the contacts and/or it may interfere with the functions. Check out the atmosphere in which the units are to be stored and transported. c Panasonic Corporation 2019 ASCTB412E 201906 GUIDELINES FOR POWER, HIGH-CAPACITY DC CUT OFF AND SAFETY RELAYS USAGE Package In terms of the packing format used, make every effort to keep the effects of moisture, organic gases and sulfide gases to the absolute minimum. Silicon When a source of silicone substances (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. This silicone gas may penetrate into the inside of the relay. When the relay is kept and used in this condition, silicone compound may adhere to the relay contacts which may cause the contact failure. Do not use any sources of silicone gas around the relay (Including plastic seal types). NOx Generation When relay is used in an atmosphere high in humidity to switch a load which easily produces an arc, the NOx created 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 use at an ambient humidity of 85%RH or higher (at 20C). If use at high humidity is unavoidable, please contact our sales representative. Others Cleaning 1) Although the environmentally sealed type relay (plastic sealed type, etc.) can be cleaned, avoid immersing the relay into cold liquid (such as cleaning solvent) immediately after soldering. Doing so may deteriorate the sealing performance. 2) Cleaning with the boiling method is recommended(The temperature of cleaning liquid should be 40C or lower ). Avoid ultrasonic cleaning on relays. Use of ultrasonic cleaning may cause breaks in the coil or slight sticking of the contacts due to ultrasonic energy.
