Stuck detection
Example circuit for stuck detection using auxiliary contacts:
In case the contactor is stuck, the Aux COM and Aux NO wires will be short, hence the circuit is
closed and the LED will be on. The AUX COM and AUX NC wires will be have the opposite way: the
LED will be off when the contactor is stuck.

Cautions and warnings
Contactors radiate magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Please ensure that other components
mounted in close proximity are not affected.
The lifecycle of the contactor can be influenced by strong magnetic fields. Please ensure that
magnetic field sources in close proximity are avoided.
The contactor shall be mounted in that way, that the contact face side is perpendicular to the
direction of the main shock-axis. If this cannot be avoided, the contactor shall be mounted upright
standing.
In order to ensure safe operation the voltage at the connection terminals of the contactor shall not
exceed the nominal operating voltage by 10% in the event of a break under load.
For continuous high current operation it has to be assured by selecting appropriate connection
cable cross section or active cooling, that the connection terminals will not reach temperatures
higher than 120 °C.
The coil contacts need to be protected from overvoltage occurring during switch-off. Preferable a
varistor has to be installed in parallel. It has to be considered that the overvoltage protection
device which is used in parallel to the coil has an influence to the break time. It is recommended
to use EPCOS S10K50 varistor (or equivalent).
The leads to the contactor have to be securely tightened to the terminals (check torque force
limits in datasheet). Otherwise current stress may lead to the formation of sparks and heating.
The contactor shall not be operated without any load. Otherwise the contact resistance may
increase.
Contactor may become hot in case of longer periods of over-current stress (danger of burning).
Contactors may be used only within their specified values. In case of overload, the component
may be destroyed.
Contactors must be handled with care and must not be dropped.
Damaged contactors must not be re-used.
For successful pick-up, the voltage cannot be ramped up slowly. The voltage needs to be applied
instantly to at least the maximum pick-up voltage.
The cover over the main contacts is optional. It can be snapped in after successful attachment of
wires or bus bars to the main contacts to prevent accidental touching during assembly or
maintenance. The cover can be removed and reapplied.
Display of ordering codes for EPCOS products
The ordering code for one and the same EPCOS product can be represented differently in data
sheets, data books, other publications, on the EPCOS website, or in order-related documents such as
shipping notes, order confirmations and product labels. The varying representations of the
ordering codes are due to different processes employed and do not affect the specifications of
the respective products. Detailed information can be found on the Internet under

Important notes
The following applies to all products named in this publication:
1. Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for
certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical
requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We
nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding
statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As a
rule, EPCOS is either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them
than the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the
customer to check and decide whether an EPCOS product with the properties described in the
product specification is suitable for use in a particular customer application.
2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of electronic components or failure
before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state
of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications requiring a very high
level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which the malfunction or
failure of an electronic component could endanger human life or health (e.g. in accident
prevention or life-saving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of suitable design of the
customer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation of protective circuitry
or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the event of malfunction or
failure of an electronic component.
3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.
4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this
publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.
because they are classed as hazardous). Useful information on this will be found in our Material
Data Sheets on the Internet (www.epcos.com/material). Should you have any more detailed
questions, please contact our sales offices.
5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this
publication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product
specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications
contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order.
We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently,
we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available.
The aforementioned does not apply in the case of individual agreements deviating from the
foregoing for customer-specific products.
6. Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to the current version of
the “General Terms of Delivery for Products and Services in the Electrical Industry”
published by the German Electrical and Electronics Industry Association (ZVEI).
