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 SOLDERING AND CLEANING GUIDELINES
In keeping with making devices compact,
it becoming more common weld the
relay board along with the
sem iconductors instead using the
previous plug-in type which relays
were plugged into sockets. Therefore, the
following precautions are provided for
soldering relay onto board. This must observed especially
for dust-cover type relays. seconds

• Adjust the level solder that does
not overflow onto the top the PC
board.
• Unless otherwise specified, solder
under the following conditions
depending the type relay.) Interference may occur

• Correctly drill the board according
to the given board pattern

review the parts construction and
characteristics.
If the board pressed down into a
flux-soaked sponge shown the
right, the flux can easily penetrate a
dust-cover type relay. ith this
style, loss function may occur because
of seepage into the relay flux, which is
applied the board. J
Be sure preheat before using
autom atic soldering.
The type protective structure will
determine suitability for automatic
soldering autom atic cleaning. Relay performance may
degrade due the high thermal
capacity these boards. Never use this
method. Relay
performance cannot guaranteed if
the term inals are bent.
• Stick packaging also available for

• Please take caution with ulti-layer
boards. Note that the board is
pressed down hard enough, flux may
even penetrate flux-resistant type
relay.
