NOTES
1. Soldering
Perform soldering under the conditions
below.
Within 10 s at 260C
500F
Within 3 s at 350C
662F
2. Latching relay
In order to assure proper operating re-
gardless of changes in the ambient usage
temperature and usage conditions, nomi-
nal operating voltage should be applied to
the coil for more than 30 ms to set/reset
the latching type relay.
For Cautions for Use, see Relay Technical Information (Page 48 to 76).
