Detection limit 10 mA
At start up two coils are active. After ~100 ms one of the coils is switched off, leaving only a low power holding coil active.
Tolerance ±10% at thermal equilibrium
End of life is reached when insulation resistance is < 50 MΩ at 1000 V.
For currents > “make & break border” only break is permitted to avoid tack welding, duty cycle 1%, 600 s cycle duration.
For currents < “make & break border” make and break is permitted duty cycle 10%, 6 s cycle duration.
Cautions and warnings
To guarantee a satisfying performance of this contactor in the application we strongly recommend
to implement redundancy, take measures to prevent the spread of fire, take the possibilities of
malfunction into account, and perform regular maintenance.
It is also required to always use a suitable backup fuse for the contactor.
It is not allowed to use the contactor outside of the parameter range specified in this datasheet.
This also includes temperature and humidity. Overloading may destroy the component.
The lifetime depends on several factors: e.g. load type, driving circuit and ambient conditions. We
recommend checking the performance of the part under actual conditions.
For capacitive loads the inrush current through the contactor should not exceed the specified limit
(see make and break border). Otherwise tack welding and permanent failure will occur.
Break of inductive loads with τ > 1 ms will shorten the lifetime and failure may occur.
In the event of a break under inductive load, the voltage at the connection terminals of the
contactor must not exceed the nominal operating voltage by more than 10 %.
For continuous high current operation, make sure that the temperatures of the connection
terminals do not exceed 120 °C by selecting an appropriate connection cable cross section or
active cooling.
The leads to the contactor must be securely tightened to the terminals (check torque specification
in data sheet), otherwise current stress may generate sparks and heating. Use only suitable
screws or bolts and nuts for all mechanical connections to the contactor and verify their
functionality in the application. The recommended torque range is suitable for multiple fixations;
the maximum torque is suited for one time fixation only.
After long-term operation, the contactor coil resistance is increased due to the temperature rise. If
the contactor is switched on immediately afterwards the coil characteristics may be deteriorated.
The coil contacts need to be protected from overvoltage when switching off. Therefore, a
protection device is installed in parallel. No further protection device shall be used parallel to coil.
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.

Simultaneously applied maximum operation parameters for e.g. coil voltage, over currents,
temperature, vibration etc. may lead to reduced lifetime. We recommend applying rated settings
to achieve optimum life performance.
For contactors equipped with auxiliary contacts: The auxiliary contact (“stuck detection”) is no real
parallel contact and delivers only an indirect source of information about actual switching status.
For additional safety, the contactor must be mounted in a way that the vertical axis of the part (Zaxis) is not in line with the main shock axis inside the application.
Contactors radiate magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Please ensure that other components
mounted in close proximity are not affected.
In case two contactors are mounted in close proximity, a clearance distance of 20 mm has to be
kept.
The operating life of the contactor can be affected by strong magnetic fields. Please ensure that
there are no magnetic field sources in close proximity and avoid nearby installed heat sources.
The contactor must not be operated without any load. This may increase contact resistance.
Contactors may become hot during extended periods of current overload (burn hazard).
Contactors must be handled with care and must not be dropped. The attached wires are not
allowed to be used for lifting and handling the part (maximum allowed pull-force is 10 N).
Damaged contactors must not be re-used.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for failures caused by condensation or icing. The
customer has to apply suitable measures to avoid these circumstances.
This contactor is not waterproof.
It is forbidden to use this contactor in atmospheres loaded with organic solvents (alcohol,
petroleum, etc.) or strong alkaline substances (ammoniac, acids in general, etc.).
It must be ensured that during installation and operation no kind of foreign matter adheres to the
main contact. Especially oils and silicones must be avoided.
It is forbidden to attach any kind of additional construction to or on the contactor.
This contactor is tested and classified according to UL as an open-type device. This means the
contactor is intended to be installed in an ultimate enclosure provided by a third party.
This contactor is equipped with two coils. During pick-up, both coils are active. After
approximately 100 ms, one coil will be removed electronically from the circuit.
Fast and consecutive switching of the contactor is not allowed. The minimum OFF time is 5 s. If
switching happens in faster cycles, the coil may become hot and fail.
Distortions of the DC supply of the contactor may influence the electronics. Superimposed
voltages at frequencies > 10 Hz and > 3 V peak to peak must be avoided. Otherwise, the coil
may become hot and fail.

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 we are 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 a 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 lifesaving 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.tdk-electronics.tdk.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 our General Terms and
Conditions of Supply.
7. Our manufacturing sites serving the automotive business apply the IATF 16949 standard.
The IATF certifications confirm our compliance with requirements regarding the quality
management system in the automotive industry. Referring to customer requirements and customer
specific requirements (“CSR”) TDK always has and will continue to have the policy of respecting
individual agreements. Even if IATF 16949 may appear to support the acceptance of unilateral
requirements, we hereby like to emphasize that only requirements mutually agreed upon can
and will be implemented in our Quality Management System. For clarification purposes we like
to point out that obligations from IATF 16949 shall only become legally binding if individually agreed
upon.
