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.
This is

consists mainly reliability the narrow
sense. This represents
the probability which system,
equipment, part, which has continued
normal operation certain point of
time, becomes faulty the subsequent
specified tim period. addition, reliability product
design becoming serious concern for
the manufacturing industry. The reliability of
repairable products recognized as
“reliability broad sense the term ”.
For repairable products, their
serviceability aintainability another

The relay one such objective of
MTTF.
The JIS Z8115 standard defines the
degree reliability follows:
The probability which system,
equipment, part provides the specified
functions over the intended duration
under the specified conditions.

Mean failure rate defined follows:
Mean failure rate Total failure count/
