NOTES
1. Coil operating power
Pure DC current should be applied to the
coil. The wave form should be rectangular.
If it includes ripple, the ripple factor should
be less than 5%.
However, check it with the actual circuit
since the characteristics may be slightly
different.
2. Coil connection
When connecting coils, refer to the wiring
diagram to prevent mis-operation or
malfunction.
To ensure accurate operation, the voltage
on both sides of the coil should be 5% (at
20C 68F) of the nominal coil voltage.
Also, please note that the pick-up and dropout voltages (set and reset voltages) will
change depending on operation
temperature and conditions of use.
Keep the coil allowable voltage ripple ratio
to no more than 5%.
3. External magnetic field
Since RX-P relays are highly sensitive
polarized relays, their characteristics will be
affected by a strong external magnetic field.
Avoid using the relay under that condition.
4
4. Cleaning
For automatic cleaning, the boiling method
is recommended. Avoid ultrasonic cleaning
which subjects the relays to high frequency
vibrations, which may cause the contacts to
stick.
It is recommended that alcoholic solvents
be used.
5. Soldering
1) Please meet the following conditions if
this relay is to be automatically soldered.
(1) Preheating: Max. 120C 248F (terminal
solder surface) for max. 120 seconds
(2) Soldering: Max. 2605C 50041F for
max. 6 seconds
2) Please meet the following conditions if
this relay is to be soldered by hand.
(1) 260C 500F for max. 10 seconds
(2) 350C 662F for max. 3 seconds
*In addition, when soldering the case to the
PC board, the plating may swell depending
on the soldering conditions.
6. Conditions for operation, transport
and storage conditions
1) Ambient temperature, humidity, and
atmospheric pressure during usage,
transport, and storage of the relay:
(1) Temperature:
–40 to +70C –40 to +158F (However,
when 60 to 70C 140 to 158F, the pulse
time is 1 second maximum and ON time is
10% maximum.)
(2) Humidity: 5 to 85% RH
(Avoid freezing and condensation.)
The humidity range varies with the
temperature. Use within the range indicated
in the graph below.
(3) Atmospheric pressure: 86 to 106 kPa
Temperature and humidity range for usage,
transport, and storage:

2) 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.
3) Freezing
Condensation or other moisture may freeze
on the relay when the temperature is lower
than 0C 32F. This causes problems such
as sticking of movable parts or operational
time lags.
4) 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.

7. Latching relay
1) To ensure accurate operation of the
latching type amidst surrounding
temperature changes and other factors
that might affect the set and reset pulse
times, we recommend a coil impress set
and reset pulse width of at least 30 ms at
the rated operation voltage.
2) The latching type relay is shipped in
the reset position. But jolts during
transport or impacts during installation
can change the reset position. It is,
therefore, advisable to build a circuit in
which the relay can be initialized (set and
reset) just after turning on the power.

9. Others
1) The switching lifetime is defined under
the standard test condition specified in
the JIS C 5442 standard (temperature 15
to 35C 59 to 95F, humidity 25 to
85%R.H.). Check this with the real device
as it is affected by coil driving circuit, load
type, activation frequency, activation
phase, ambient conditions and other
factors.
Also, be especially careful of loads such
as those listed below.
• When used for AC load-operating and
the operating phase is synchronous,
rocking and fusing can easily occur due
to contact shifting.
• When high-frequency opening and
closing of the relay is performed with a
load that causes arcs at the contacts,
nitrogen and oxygen in the air is fused by
the arc energy and HNO3 is formed. This
can corrode metal materials.
Three countermeasures for these are
listed here.
(1) Incorporate an arc-extinguishing
circuit.
(2) Lower the operating frequency
(3) Lower the ambient humidity
2) Use the relay within specifications
such as coil rating, contact rating and on/
off service life. If used beyond limits, the
relay may overheat, generate smoke or
catch fire.
3) Be careful not to drop the relay. If
accidentally dropped, carefully check its
appearance and characteristics before
use.
4) Be careful to wire the relay correctly.
Otherwise, malfunction, overheat, fire or
other trouble may occur.
5) If a relay stays on in a circuit for many
months or years at a time without being
activated, circuit design should be
reviewed so that the relay can remain
non-excited. A coil that receives current
all the time heats, which degrades
insulation earlier than expected. A
latching type relay is recommended for
such circuits.
6) If silicone materials (e.g., silicone
rubbers, silicone oils, silicone coating
agents, silicone sealers) are used in the
vicinity of the relay, the gas emitted from
the silicone may adhere to the contacts of
the relay during opening and closing and
lead to improper contact. If this is the
case, use a material other than silicone.
For Cautions for Use, see Relay Technical Information.
