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°C)

GUIDELINES FOR USAGE

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

Precautions when using CM relays

Soldering
Max. 350°C (solder temperature), within 3 s (soldering time)
The effect on the relay depends on the actual PC board used.
Please verify the PC board to be used.
