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.
Breakdown Voltage (Hi-Pot or
Dielectric Strength)
The maximum voltage which can be
tolerated the relay without damage for
a specified period time, usually
measured the same points as
insulation resistance. Vibration Resistance
1) Functional
The vibration which can tolerated by
the relay during service, without causing
the closed contacts open for more than
the specified time.e.

The elapsed time from the initial removal
of coil power until the reclosure the

1. Maximum Switching Frequency
This refers the maximum switching
frequency which satisfies the mechanical

2) Destructive
The vibration which can withstood by
the relay during shipping, installation or
use without suffering damage, and
without causing change its operating

4. Insulation Resistance
The resistance value between all
mutually isolated conducting sections of
the relay, i. This value usually expressed
as “initial insulation resistance” and may
decrease with time, due material
degradation and the accumulation of
contaminants.) This
time does not include any bounce time. Electrical Life
