The Series FCB-205 relay increased contact pressure is a polarized single-side in both states over that of stable design, where the a spring return nonpolar flux from a permanent design.  We also magnet provides the manufacture other forms  of armature holding force in the FCB relay: the deactivated state, and **FCB-405** — 5 Amp 4PDT its flux path is switched Relay and combined with the coil flux in the operated state. This results in appreciably

**NOTE:** Polarity must be observed with DC coil supply. Relay is polarized with a permanent magnet and will not operate or be damaged by reverse polarity. 

Diodes used in transient suppression and in AC rectifier circuits have peak inverse voltage rating of 600 VDC minimum.  Zener diodes have a minimum rating of 1 watt. 

Terminal designations are for reference only and do not appear on the header.
