## **COIL DATA**
**Notes:** 1)The data shown above are initial values.
- 2) To supply rated step voltage to coil is the foundation of relay proper operation. Please make sure the applied voltage to the coil reach at rated values.
Please refer to the typical diagram below for single side stable relay. The “V_coil” is the rated voltage. ：

- 3) In case 5V of transistor drive circuit, it is recommended to use 4.5V type relay, and 3V to use 2.4V type relay.
- 4) For monostable relays ， if you need to drop down voltage and hold mode after reliably operating,make sure that the effective value of holding voltage is not less than 60% of the rated voltage.
- 5) Maximum voltage refers to the maximum voltage which relay coil could endure in a short period of time.
- 6) When user's requirements can't be found in the above table, special order allowed.
- 7) During the relay pick-up or drop-out processes, there are stages of contact pressure change, contact vibration and unstable contact etc. When the voltage applied to coil is gradually changed, it will lengthen the unstable stage and affect relay endurance. To reduce this influence, please apply step voltage(switching circuit) to relay coil.

- **Notes:** 1) This product is suitable for wave soldering or manual soldering.
- 2) The customer special requirement express as special code after evaluating by Hongfa.
- 3) The standard size of this pruduct tube package is 409mm, Any special requirement needed, please contact us for more details.
- 4) For products that should meet the explosion-proof requirements of "IEC 60079 series",please note [Ex] after the specification while placing orders.Not all products have explosion-proof certification,so please contact us if necessary, in order to select the suitable products.
- 5) Please make sure that there are no silicon-based substances (such as silicon rubber, silicone oil, silicon-based coating agents, silicon fillers, etc.) around the relay, because it will generate silicon-containing volatile gas, which may cause poor contact in case of silicon-containing volatile gas sticking on contact.Flux proofed and dust cover type relays are prohibited in environments with water vapor and harmful gases (P, Cl, H2S, SO2, NO2). Plastic sealed relays shall be used with practical test verification.

## **Notice**
- 1) To avoid using relays under strong magnetic field which will change the parameters of relays such as pick-up voltage and drop-out voltage.
- 2) Energizing coil with rated voltage is basic for normal operation of a relay, please make sure the energized voltage to relay coil have reached the rated voltage. Regarding latching relay, in order to maintain the "set" or "reset" status, impulse width of the rated voltage applied to coil should be more than 5 times of "set" or "reset" time.
- 3) For a monosteady state relay, after the relay is reliably operated, if it needs to be kept under pressure, make sure that the effective value of the voltage is not less than 60% of the rated voltage;
- 4) The relay may be damaged because of falling or when shocking conditions exceed the requirement.
- 5) Please use wave soldering or manual soldering for straight-in relay. If you need reflow welding, please confirm the feasibility with us.
- 6) Contact is recommended for suitable condition and specifications if water cleaning or surface process is involved in assembling relays on PCB.
- 7) Plastic sealed type is recommended for an environment with noxious gas such as H2S, SO2 and NO2,ect., and/or when load current is ow,and/or the PCB boards need to be washed after relays are soldered.
- 8) Regarding the plastic sealed relay, we should leave it cooling naturally untill below 40 ℃ after welding, then clean it and deal with coating, remarkably the temperature of solvents should also be controlled below 40 ℃ .Please avoid cleaning the relay by ultrasonic, avoid using the solvents like gasoline, Freon, and so on, which would affect the configuration of relay or influence the environment.
- 9) When applied with continuous current, the heat from relay coil will age its isolation. Thus, please do not ground connected the coil to reduce electrical errosion if possible. And please provide protection circuit to avoid broken wire and losses.
- 10) Please make sure that there are no silicon-based substances (such as silicon rubber, silicone oil, silicon-based coating agents, silicon fillers, etc.) around the relay, because it will generate silicon-containing volatile gas, which may cause poor contact in case of silicon-containing volatile gas sticking on contact.Flux proofed and dust cover type relays are prohibited in environments with water vapor and harmful gases (P, Cl, H2S, SO2, NO2). Plastic sealed relays shall be used with practical test verification.
- 11) About preferable condition of operation, storage and transportation, please refer to "Explanation to terminology and guidetines of relay".
- 12) During the relay pick-up or drop-out processes, there are stages of contact pressure change, contact vibration and unstable contact etc. When the voltage applied to coil is gradually changed, it will lengthen the unstable stage and affect relay endurance. To reduce this influence, please apply step voltage(switching circuit) to relay coil.
