NOTES
1. Regarding cautions for use, please refer to “GENERAL
APPLICATION GUIDELINES” on our general catalog.
2. Coil operating power
Pure DC current should be applied to the coil. 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. The wave form of power should be rectangular. To
ensure accurate operation, the voltage on both sides of the coil
should be
±5%
(at 20°C
68°F)
of the nominal coil voltage. Also,
please note that the pick-up and drop-out voltages (set and reset
voltages) will change depending on operation temperature and
conditions of use.
3. Coil connection
This relay is polarized relay, the coil voltage must be applied with
correct polarity.
4. External magnetic field
Since RN relays are highly sensitive polarized relays, their
characteristics will be affected by a strong external magnetic
field. Avoid using the relay under that condition.
5. Cleaning
This product is not sealed type, therefore washing is not allowed.
6. Conditions for operation, transport and storage
1) Temperature: –40 to +85°C
–40 to +185°F
(But allowable
temperature is from –40 to +60°C
–40 to +140°F
at our standard
packing condition.)
2) Humidity: 5 to 85% R.H. (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
Humidity, %RH
pack, storage in anti-humidity packaging with an antihumidity
bag to which silica gel has been added, is recommended.
*Furthermore, if the relay is solder mounted when it has been
subjected to excessive humidity, cracks and leaks can occur. Be
sure to mount the relay under the required mounting conditions.
7. Soldering
Please meet the following conditions if this relay is to be
automatically soldered.
1) Position of measuring temperature

• Mounting cautions
Rise in relay temperature depends greatly on the component
mix on a given PC board and the heating method of the reflow
equipment. Therefore, please test beforehand using actual
equipment to ensure that the temperature where the relay
terminals are soldered and the temperature at the top of the
relay case are within the conditions given above.
3) Please meet the following conditions if this relay is to be
soldered by hand.
(1) Max. 260°C
500°F
(solder temperature), within 10 seconds
(soldering time)
(2) Max. 350°C
662°F
(solder temperature), within 3 seconds
(soldering time)
The effect on the relay depends on the actual PC board used.
Please verify the PC board to be used.

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 temperature is lower than 0°C
32°F.
This causes problems
such as sticking of movable parts or operational time lags.
6) Low temperature and 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) Storage requirements
Since the relay is sensitive to humidity, it comes in sealed anti-
humidity packaging. However, when storing, please be careful of
the following.
(1) Please use promptly once the anti-humidity pack is opened.
(2) When storing for a log period after opening the anti-humidity
