Performance parameters

Coil parameters

Note:

1. The rated electrical endurance of the product is based on resistive load testing, with the maximum inductance of the load not exceeding 300μH; for inductive loads, please consult the factory.

2. The above figure is drawn based on the estimation of test and inferred data. It is recommended that users conduct tests and confirmations according to the actual usage route.

3. When the dielectric withstand voltage and insulation resistance of the product are less than the parameters listed in the product parameter table, the product is defined as having reached the end of its lifespan.

Precautions for use

• When installing relays, always use washers to prevent screws from loosening.
  The torque range for tightening screws is specified below. Exceeding the maximum torque value may cause the product to break.
  Main contact terminal force (M8 nut): 8-10N.m
  Torque at the installation point: 1.7 to 3.5 N.m
• The coil of this relay has polarity, so the coil should be connected according to the markings on the product; the contacts also have polarity, so the contacts should also be connected according to the markings on the product. Variants with energy-saving boards are equipped with a reverse surge absorption circuit, so there is no need to use a surge protector.
• Do not use products that have been dropped.
• Avoid installing the product in a place with a strong magnetic field (near a transformer or magnet) or near objects emitting thermal radiation.
• Electrical life
  This relay is a high-voltage DC switch. In its ultimate breakdown mode, it may lose its proper cutting-off function. Therefore, do not use it in a state that exceeds its switching capacity and lifespan parameters (please treat this relay as a product with a specified lifespan and replace it when necessary). Once the relay loses its ability to disconnect and cut off, it may cause the surrounding components to burn. Therefore, design the circuit diagram well to ensure that the power supply can be cut off within 1 second.
• Diffusion lifetime of internal gas
  This relay utilizes sealed chamber contacts, with the chamber filled with gas. The diffusion lifespan of the gas is determined by the temperature within the contact chamber (i.e., ambient temperature plus the temperature rise caused by the contacts being energized). Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the ambient temperature ranges from -40℃ to +85℃.
• If the coil and contacts of the relay are continuously subjected to rated voltage (or current), and the power supply is cut off and then immediately reconnected, the temperature of the coil will increase, leading to an increase in coil resistance. This, in turn, will raise the pull-in voltage of the product, potentially exceeding the rated pull-in voltage. In such cases, the following measures should be taken: reducing the load current, limiting the continuous energization time, or using a coil voltage higher than the rated pull-in voltage.
• For resistive loads, the rated parameters of the main contact specified in the rating are applicable. If inductive loads (L loads) are used and L/R > 1 millisecond, a surge current protection device should be connected in parallel with the inductive load.
• The drive circuit power of the product coil must be greater than the product coil power, otherwise it will reduce the cutting ability of the product.
• Be careful not to let debris and oil stains on the main outgoing terminal, and ensure that the external wiring terminal is in reliable contact with the main outgoing terminal of the product, otherwise it may cause the outgoing terminal to heat up excessively. At the same time, the lead wire connected to the product must have the required conductivity to prevent overheating and affect its lifespan (the cross-sectional area of the lead wire connecting to the main contact should be above 95mm2).
• After the product is powered on, the coil will start to switch automatically after about 0.1 seconds. Do not repeatedly turn it off at that position, as this may damage the relay.
