About Cd-free contacts
We have introduced Cadmium free type
products to reduce Environmental
Hazardous Substances.
(The suffix “F” should be added to the
part number)
(Note: The Suffix “F” is required only for
1 Form A contact type. The 2 Form A and
1 Form A 1 Form B contact type is
originally Cadmium free, the suffix “F” is
not required.)
Please replace parts containing
Cadmium with Cadmium-free products
and evaluate them with your actual
application before use because the life of
a relay depends on the contact material
and load.

Notes:
*1. This value can change due to the switching frequency, environmental conditions, and desired reliability level, therefore it is recommended to check this with the actual load.
*2. Wave is standard shock voltage of 1.250s according to JEC-212-1981
*3. The upper limit of the ambient temperature is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. Refer to “6. Usage, Storage and Transport

NOTES
1. Soldering should be done under the
following conditions:
250C 482F within 10s
300C 572F within 5s
350C 662F within 3s
Soldering depth: 2/3 terminal pitch
2. External magnetic field
Since DK relays are highly sensitive
polarized relays, their characteristics will
be affected by a strong external magnetic
field. Avoid using the relay under that
condition.
3. When using, please be aware that
the a contact and b contact sides of 1
Form A and 1 Form B types may go on
simultaneously at operate time and
release time.
For Cautions for Use, see Relay Technical Information.

FIXING AND REMOVAL METHOD
1. Match the direction of relay and
socket.
3. Remove the relay, applying force in the
direction shown below.
2. Both ends of the relay are to be
secured firmly so that the socket hooks
on the top surface of the relay.
4. In case there is not enough space to
grasp the relay with fingers, use
screwdrivers in the way shown in the
illustration.

Notes: 1. Exercise care when removing relays. If
greater than necessary force is applied at
the socket hooks, deformation may alter the
dimensions so that the hook will no longer
catch, and other damage may also occur.
2. It is hazardous to use IC chip sockets.
NO GOOD
