Panasonic is part of a large worldwide groupselling relays and associated switching products under different brand names in different territories.The conditions of use in some territories may differ from those customary in Europe. In particular there are often major differences in regard to national and international specifications, such as UL, CSA, VDE, SEV, EVE, SEMKO, etc. Thus, when considering contact loads as stated in this catalogue (e.g. 10 A, 30 VDC for the SP relay) its hould be understood that these values are not necessarily an absolute maximum but tested ratings. Mostly the stated value has been tested for a certain life expectancy as stated by the manufacturer or the respective test house. Thus, under different conditions, the stated “maximum” may, in practice, be safely exceeded.

contacts break contacts.
The measuring currents are designated. Drop-Out Voltage
As the voltage operated relay is
decreased, the value above which
all contacts must revert their
unoperated position.
In general, for relays with contact rating
of more, measure using the
voltage-drop method DC.
7. Maximum Switching Current
The maximum current which can safely
be switched the contacts. (Note that for certain
types relays, the resistance may
be for temperatures other than the
standard 20°C 68°F. This value is
the product switching voltage x
switching current, and will lower than
the maximum voltage and maximum
current product. Nominal Coil Voltage (Rated Coil
Voltage)
A single value (or narrow range) of
source voltage intended design be
applied the coil input.

As the voltage unoperated relay is
increased, the value below which all
contacts must function (transfer).

3. Contact Resistance
This value the combined resistance of
the resistance when the contacts are
touching each other, the resistance the

The maximum open circuit voltage which
can safely switched the contacts. Maximum Applied Voltage
The maximum voltage that can be
applied continuously the coil without
causing damage.
