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.
Relay performance must verified
with the actual operating circuit. Use silicone-based
resin around relay must be
absolutely avoided. Use relays normal temperature
and humidity conditions with limited
dust and organic gas is
recommended. However,
check with actual circuit since
the characteristics may differ slightly.
Power waveform must rectangular,
as rule. not
remove the case for product
performance maintenance. Relays generate failures with
certain probability.
2. Coil drive current must pure DC
current, rule. not use relay
that has been dropped.
7. After checking the specifications
requested your company, will
check the operating conditions a
vehicle environment required. Durability also
varies operating environment and
condition.
4. Before using relays, please check
“Cautions for Use Automotive
Relays”. The case designed not be
removed normal handling.
5. When using relays, always
check performance with actual
circuit and operating environment. Before using relays under any
operating condition other than those
listed the catalog, please consult
us.
3.
Continued operation with deteriorated
performance could generate abnormal
heat, smoke, fire due to
deteriorated insulation. the current
includes ripples, the ripple factor
should less than 5%. Switching life data are based the
standard testing condition
(temperature 15°C 35°C 59°F to
95°F, humidity 25%RH 85%RH)
specified JIS 5442.
8. Please
check performance using actual
presumptive operating environment of
a vehicle, consult us. Dropping relay could cause a
functional disorder.GENERAL CAUTIONS FOR USE

6. Switching life
varies coil drive circuit, load type,
ambient environment, etc. order to
avoid human accident, fire accident or
public harm result product
failure end-of-life performance,
appropriate safety designs such as
redundant design, fire spread
prevention design and malfunction
prevention design must be
implemented together with scheduled
maintenance
