General tolerance: ±0.3 ±.012 ## **FIXING AND REMOVAL METHOD** 1. Match the direction of relay and socket. a 2. Both ends of the relay are to be secured firmly so that the socket hooks on the top surface of the relay. 3. Remove the relay, applying force in the direction shown below. ~ oO 4. In case there is not enough space to grasp relay with fingers, use screwdrivers in the way shown below. GOOD NO GOOD 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.
