4) Condensation
Condensation forms when there is a
sudden change in temperature under
high temperature and high humidity
conditions. Condensation will cause
deterioration of the relay insulation.
5) Freezing
Condensation or other moisture may
freeze on the relay when the
temperatures is lower than 0°C 32°F.
This causes problems such as sticking
of movable parts or operational time
lags.
6) Low temperature, low humidity
environments
The plastic becomes brittle if the relay
is exposed to a low temperature, low
humidity environment for long periods
of time.
