Rather than serving to prevent malfunctions, the forcibly guided contact structure enables another circuit to detect the condition following a contact weld or other malfunction. Accordingly, when a contact weld occurs in a Relay with Forcibly Guided Contacts, depending on the circuit configuration, the power may not be interrupted, leaving the Relay in a potentially dangerous condition (as shown in Fig. 1.) To configure the power control circuit to interrupt the power when a contact weld or other malfunction occurs, and to prevent restarting until the problem has been eliminated, add another Relay with Forcibly Guided Contacts or similar Relay in combination to provide redundancy and a self-monitoring function to the circuit (as shown in Fig. 2). Refer to the _Technical Guide_ section. The G9S/G9SA/G9SB Safety Relay Unit, which combines Relays such as the Relay with Forcibly Guided Contacts in order to provide the above-described functions, is available for this purpose. By connecting a contactor with appropriate input and output to the Safety Relay Unit, the circuit can be equipped with redundancy and a self-monitoring function. ## **CE Marking** (Source: _Guidelines on the Application of Council Directive 73/23/ EEC_ ) The G7SA, G7S and G7S-@-E have been recognized by the VDE for meeting the Low Voltage Directive according to EN requirements for relays and relays with forcibly guided contacts. The Low Voltage Directive, however, contains no clauses that specify handling methods for components, and interpretations vary among test sites and manufacturers. To solve this problem, the European Commission has created guidelines for the application of the Low Voltage Directive in EU. These guidelines present concepts for applying the Low Voltage Directive to components. The G7SA, G7S and G7S-@E, however, do not display the CE Marking according to the concepts in the guidelines. VDE recognition, however, has been obtained, so there should be no problems in obtaining the CE Marking for machines that use the G7SA, G7S or G7S-@-E. Use the manufacturer’s compliance declaration to prove standard conformance. ## **Contents of the Guidelines** The _Guidelines on the Application of Council Directive 73/23/EEC_ apply to components. Relays with PWB terminals are not covered by the Low Voltage Directive. **==> picture [246 x 251] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Fig 1 Fig 2<br>S1 S1<br>21 11<br>22 12<br>S2<br>K1<br>S2<br>A1 A2 T11 T12 B1 Y1 X1 13<br>K1 K1 + −<br>D K1 K1<br>K2 K2<br>Power source F1 K3 K1 K3 K2 K3<br>K2<br>K1 K3<br>PE T21 T22 14<br>Power source<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> **C-1** (c)Copyright OMRON Corporation 2007 All Rights Reserved. http://www.ia.omron.com/ ## **Precautions for All Relays** Refer to the _Safety Precautions_ section for each Relay for specific precautions applicable to that Relay. ## ■ **Precautions for Safe Use** These precautions are required to ensure safe operation. - Do not touch the charged Relay terminal area or the charged socket terminal area while the power is turned ON. Doing so may result in electric shock. - Do not use a Relay for a load that exceeds the Relay's switching capacity or other contact ratings. Doing so will reduce the specified performance, causing insulation failure, contact welding, and contact failure, and the Relay itself may be damaged or burnt. - Do not drop or disassemble Relays. Doing so may reduce Relay characteristics and may result in damage, electric shock, or burning. - Relay durability depends greatly on the switching conditions. Confirm operation under the actual conditions in which the Relay will be used. Make sure the number of switching operations is within the permissible range. If a Relay is used after performance has deteriorated, it may result in insulation failure between circuits and burning of the Relay itself. - Do not apply overvoltages or incorrect voltages to coils, or incorrectly wire the terminals. Doing so may prevent the Relay from functioning properly, may affect external circuits connected to the Relay, and may cause the Relay itself to be damaged or burnt. - Do not use Relays where flammable gases or explosive gases may be present. Doing so may cause combustion or explosion due to Relay heating or arcing during switching. - Perform wiring and soldering operations correctly and according to the instructions contained in _Precautions for Correct Use_ given below. If a Relay is used with faulty wiring or soldering, it may cause burning due to abnormal heating when the power is turned ON. ## ■ **Precautions for Correct Use** ## **Contents** |**No.**|**Area**|**No. **|**Classification **|**No.**|**Item**|**Page**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |A|UsingRelays|||||C-3| |B|Selecting<br>Relays|A|Mounting<br>Structure and<br>Type of<br>Protection|1<br>2<br>3|Type of Protection<br>Combining Relays and Sockets<br>Using Relays in Atmospheres Subject to Dust|C-4| |||B|Drive Circuits|1<br>2|Providing Power Continuously for Long Periods<br>Operation Checks for Inspection and Maintenance|C-4| |||C|Loads|1<br>2|Contact Ratings<br>Using Relays with a Microload|C-4| |C|Circuit<br>Design|A|Load Circuits|1<br>2<br>3<br>4<br>5<br>6<br>7<br>8<br>9<br>10<br>11|Load Switching<br>AResistive Loads and Inductive Loads<br>BSwitching Voltage<br>CSwitching Current<br>Electrical Durability<br>Failure Rates<br>Contact Protection Circuits<br>Countermeasures for Surge from External Circuits<br>Connecting Loads for Multi-pole Relays<br>Motor Forward/Reverse Switching<br>Power Supply Double Break with Multi-pole Relays<br>Short-circuiting Due to Arcing between NO and NC Contacts in SPDT Relays<br>Using SPST-NO/SPST-NC Contact Relays as an SPDT Relay<br>Connecting Loads of Differing Capacities|C-5| |||B|Input Circuits|1<br>2<br>3<br>4<br>5<br>6<br>7<br>8<br>9<br>10<br>11<br>12<br>13|Maximum Allowable Voltage<br>Voltage Applied to Coils<br>Changes in Must-operate Voltage Due to Coil Temperature<br>Applied Voltage Waveform for Input Voltage<br>Preventing Surges when the Coil Is Turned OFF<br>Leakage Current to Relay Coils<br>Using with Infrequent Switching<br>Configuring Sequence Circuits<br>Connecting Relay Grounds<br>Individual Specifications for Must-operate/release Voltages and Operate/Release Times<br>Using DC-operated Relays, (1) Input Power Supply Ripple<br>Using DC-operated Relays, (2) Coil Polarity<br>Using DC-operated Relays, (3) Coil Voltage Insufficiency|C-7| |||C|Mounting<br>Design|1<br>2<br>3<br>4|Lead Wire Diameters<br>When Sockets are Used<br>Mounting Direction<br>When Devices Such as Microcomputers are in Proximity|C-9| **C-2** (c)Copyright OMRON Corporation 2007 All Rights Reserved. http://www.ia.omron.com/ |**No.**|**Area**|**No. **|**Classification **|**No.**|**Item**|**Page**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |D|Operating and Storage<br>Environments|||1<br>2<br>3<br>4<br>5<br>6<br>7<br>8|Operating, Storage, and Transport<br>Operating Atmosphere<br>Using Relays in an Atmosphere Containing Corrosive Gas (Silicon, Sulfuric, or Organic Gas)<br>Adhesion of Water, Chemicals, Solvent, and Oil<br>Vibration and Shock<br>External Magnetic Fields<br>External Loads<br>Adhesion of Magnetic Dust|C-9| |E|Relay<br>Mounting<br>Operations|A|Plug-in Relays|1<br>2<br>3|Panel-mounting Sockets<br>Relay Removal Direction<br>Terminal Soldering|C-10| |||B|Printed Circuit<br>Board Relays|1|Ultrasonic Cleaning|| |||C|Common Items|1<br>2<br>3<br>4|Removing the Case and Cutting Terminals<br>Deformed Terminals<br>Replacing Relays and Performing Wiring Operations<br>Coating and Packing|| |F|Handling Relays|||1<br>2|Vibration and Shock<br>Dropped Products|C-11| |G|Relays for Printed Circuit Boards<br>(PCBs)|||1<br>2<br>3<br>4<br>5<br>6<br>7<br>8<br>9<br>10|Selecting PCBs, (1) PCB Materials<br>Selecting PCBs, (2) PCB Thickness<br>Selecting PCBs, (3) Terminal Hole and Land Diameters<br>Mounting Space<br>AAmbient Temperature<br>BMutual Magnetic Interference<br>Pattern Design for Noise Countermeasures<br>ANoise from Coils<br>BNoise from Contacts<br>CHigh-frequency Patterns<br>Shape of Lands<br>Pattern Conductor Width and Thickness<br>Conductor Pitch<br>Securing the PCB<br>Automatic Mounting of PCB Relays|C-11| |H|Troubleshooting|||||C-15| ## A **Using Relays** - When actually using Relays, unanticipated failures may occur. It is therefore essential to test the operation is as wide of range as possible. - Unless otherwise specified in this catalog for a particular rating or performance value, all values are based on JIS C5442 standard test conditions (temperature: 15 to 35°C, relative humidity: 25% to 75%, air pressure: 86 to 106 kPa). When checking operation in the actual application, do not merely test the Relay under the load conditions, but test it under the same conditions as in the actual operating environment and using the actual operating conditions. - The reference data provided in this catalog represent actual measured values taken from samples of the production line and shown in diagrams. They are reference values only. - Ratings and performance values given in this catalog are for individual tests and do not indicate ratings or performance values under composite conditions. **C-3** (c)Copyright OMRON Corporation 2007 All Rights Reserved. http://www.ia.omron.com/ ## B **Selecting Relays** ## A **Mounting Structure and Type of Protection** ## B **-** A **-1 Type of Protection** If a Relay is selected that does not have the appropriate type of protection for the atmosphere and the mounting conditions, it may cause problems, such as contact failure. Refer to the type of protection classifications shown in the following table and select a Relay suitable to the atmosphere in which it is to be used. ## **Classification by Type of Protection** |**Mounting**<br>**structure**|**Item **<br>**Type of**<br>**protection**|**Features**|**Representative model**||**Atmosphere conditions**|**Atmosphere conditions**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||||||**Dust and dirt**|**Corrosive**<br>**gases**| |PCB-mounted<br>Relay|Flux protection|Structure that<br>helps prevent<br>flux from<br>entering Relays<br>during soldering|G7SA||Some protection<br>(No large dust or<br>dirt particles<br>inside Relay.)|No protection| ||Unsealed|Structure that<br>protects against<br>contact with<br>foreign material<br>by means of<br>enclosure in a<br>case (designed<br>for manual<br>soldering)|G7S|||| ## B **-** A **-2 Combining Relays and Sockets** Use OMRON Relays in combination with specified OMRON Sockets. If the Relays are used with sockets from other manufacturers, it may cause problems, such as abnormal heating at the mating point due to differences in power capacity and mating properties. ## B **-** A **-3 Using Relays in Atmospheres Subject to Dust** If a Relay is used in an atmosphere subject to dust, dust will enter the Relay, become lodged between contacts, and cause the circuit to fail to close. Moreover, if conductive material such as wire clippings enter the Relay, it will cause contact failure and short-circuiting. Implement measures to protect against dust as required by the application. ## B **Drive Circuits** ## B **-** B **-1 Providing Power Continuously for Long Periods** If power is continuously provided to the coil for a long period, deterioration of coil insulation will be accelerated due to heating of the coil. Also see 3-2-7 Using with Infrequent Switching. ## B **-** B **-2 Operation Checks for Inspection and Maintenance** If a socket with an operation indicator is used, Relay status during operation can be shown by means of the indicator, thereby facilitating inspection and maintenance. |**Type**|**Description**|**Description**|**Examples of**<br>**applicable models**| |---|---|---|---| |-in indicator|LED||G7S<br>G7SA| **Note:** The built-in indicator shows that power is being provided to the coil.

Confirm operation under the actual conditions in which the Relay will be used. A Resistive Loads and Inductive Loads The switching power for an inductive load will be lower than the switching power for a resistive load due to the influence of the electromagnetic energy stored in the inductive load. B Switching Voltage (Contact Voltage) The switching power will be lower with DC loads than it will with AC loads. Applying voltage or current between the contacts exceeding the maximum values will result in the following: **1.** The carbon generated by load switching will accumulate around the contacts and cause deterioration of insulation. **2.** Contact deposits and locking will cause contacts to malfunction. C Switching Current (Contact Current) Current applied to contacts when they are open or closed will have a large effect on the contacts. For example, when the load is a motor or a lamp, the larger the inrush current, the greater the amount of contact exhaustion and contact transfer will be, leading to deposits, locking, and other factors causing the contacts to malfunction. (Typical examples illustrating the relationship between load and inrush current are given below.) If a current greater than the rated current is applied and the load is from a DC power supply, the connection and shorting of arcing contacts will result in the loss of switching capability. ## **DC Loads and Inrush Current** **==> picture [151 x 146] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Incandescent bulb<br>(approx. 6 to 11 times<br>steady-state current)<br>Motor<br>(approx. 5 to<br>10 times steady-<br>state current)<br>Resistive load<br>Relay,<br>solenoid<br>Time (t)<br>Current<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## **AC Loads and Inrush Current** |**Type of load**|**Ratio of**<br>**inrush**<br>**current**<br>**to**<br>**steady-**<br>**state**<br>**current**|**Waveform**| |---|---|---| |**Solenoid**|Approx.<br>10|Steady-<br>state<br>current<br>Inrush current| |**Incandes-**<br>**cent bulb**|Approx.<br>10 to 15|| |**Motor**|Approx.<br>5 to 10|| |**Relay**|Approx.<br>2 to 3|| |**Capacitor**|Approx.<br>20 to 50|| |**Resistive**<br>**load**|1|| ## C **-** A **-2 Electrical Durability** Electrical durability will greatly depend on factors such as the coil drive circuit, type of load, switching frequency, switching phase, and ambient atmosphere.

The values are reference values only. The values will depend on the operating frequency, the ambient atmosphere, and the expected level of reliability of the Relay. Be sure to check relay suitability under actual load conditions. **C-5** (c)Copyright OMRON Corporation 2007 All Rights Reserved. http://www.ia.omron.com/ ## C **-** A **-4 Contact Protection Circuits** Using a contact protection circuit is effective in increasing contact durability and minimizing the production of carbides and nitric acid. The following table shows typical examples of contact protection circuits. Use them as guidelines for circuit design. **1.** Depending on factors such as the nature of the load and the Relay characteristics, the effects may not occur at all or adverse effects may result. Therefore be sure to check operation under the actual load conditions. **2.** When a contact protection circuit is used, it may cause the release time (breaking time) to be increased. Therefore be sure to check operation under the actual load conditions. ## **Typical Examples of Contact Protection Circuits** ||**Circuit example**|**Applicable**<br>**current**|**Applicable**<br>**current**|**Features and remarks**|**Element selection**| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |||**AC**|**DC**||| |CR|Power<br>supply<br>(See<br>remarks.)<br>C<br>R<br>Inductive<br>load|*See<br>remarks.<br>(Yes)|Yes|*Load impedance must be much smaller than<br>the CR circuit impedance when using the Relay<br>for an AC voltage.<br>When the contacts are open, current flows to the<br>inductive load via CR.|Use the following as guides for C and R values:<br>C: 0.5 to 1 μF per 1 A of contact current (A)<br>R: 0.5 to 1Ωper 1 V of contact voltage (V)<br>These values depend on various factors,<br>including the load characteristics and variations<br>in characteristics.

However, C since electrical energy is stored in C (capacitor) when the Power Load contacts are open, the current from C flows into the supply contacts when they close. This may lead to contact welding. This circuit arrangement is very useful for diminishing arcing at the contacts when breaking the circuit. However, since the charging current to C flows into the contacts Power C Load when they are closed, contact welding may occur. supply **Note:** Although it is thought that switching a DC inductive load is more difficult than a resistive load, an appropriate contact protection circuit can achieve almost the same characteristics. ## C **-** A **-5 Countermeasures for Surge from External Circuits** Install contact protection circuits, such as surge absorbers, at locations where there is a possibility of surges exceeding the Relay withstand voltage due to factors such as lightning. If a voltage exceeding the Relay withstand voltage value is applied, it will cause line and insulation deterioration between coils and contacts and between contacts of the same polarity. **C-6** (c)Copyright OMRON Corporation 2007 All Rights Reserved. http://www.ia.omron.com/ ## C **-** A **-6 Connecting Loads for Multi-pole Relays** Connect multi-pole Relay loads according to diagram "a" below to avoid creating differences in electric potential in the circuits. If a multi-pole Relay is used with an electric potential difference in the circuit, it will cause short-circuiting due to arcing between contacts, damaging the Relays and peripheral devices. **==> picture [239 x 317] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Load<br>Power Power Load<br>supply supply<br>Load Load Load Load Load Load<br>a.

Also, after making the selection, check operation in the actual application. If an inappropriate model is selected, short-circuiting will occur between unlike poles even when the load is within the rated values, particularly due to arcing when power is turned OFF. This can cause burning and damage to peripheral devices. ## C **-** A **-9 Short-circuiting Due to Arcing between NO and NC Contacts in SPDT Relays** With Relays that have NO and NC contacts, short-circuiting between contacts will result due to arcing if the space between the NO and NC contacts is too small or if a large current is switched. Do not construct a circuit in such a way that overcurrent and burning occur if the NO, NC, and SPDT contacts are short-circuited. **==> picture [238 x 136] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Arc short-circuiting occurs.<br>Load<br>Incorrect<br>Example of incorrect circuit<br>X1 X2<br>ON<br>X1<br>Load ON<br>X2<br>Correct OFF time<br>Example of correct circuit<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## **-** C A **-10 Using SPST-NO/SPST-NC Contact Relays as an SPDT Relay** Do not construct a circuit so that overcurrent and burning occur if the NO, NC and SPDT contacts are short-circuited. Also, with SPST-NO/ SPST-NC Relays, a short-circuit current may flow for forward/reverse motor operation. **==> picture [99 x 35] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> (Short-circuit current)<br>Power supply L<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## **-** C A **-11 Connecting Loads of Differing Capacities** Do not have a single Relay simultaneously switching a large load and a microload. The purity of the contacts used for microload switching will be lost as a result of the contact spattering that occurs during large load switching, and this may give rise to contact failure during microload switching. ## B **Input Circuits** ## C **-** B **-1 Maximum Allowable Voltage** The coil's maximum allowable voltage is determined by the coil temperature increase and the heat withstand temperature of the insulation material. (If the heat withstand temperature is exceeded, it will cause coil burning and layer shorting.) There are also important restrictions imposed to prevent problems such as thermal changes and deterioration of the insulation, damage to other control devices, injury to humans, and fires, so be careful not to exceed the specified values provided in this catalog. ## C **-** B **-2 Voltage Applied to Coils** Apply only the rated voltage to coils. The Relays will operate at the must-operate voltage or greater, but the rated voltage must be applied to the coils in order to obtain the specified performance. ## C **-** B **-3 Changes in Must-operate Voltage Due to Coil Temperature** It may not be possible to satisfy this catalog values for must-operate voltages during a hot start or when the ambient temperature exceeds 23°C, so be sure to check operation under the actual application conditions. Coil resistance is increased by a rise in temperature causing the must-operate voltage to increase. The resistance thermal coefficient of a copper wire is approximately 0.4% per 1°C, and the coil resistance also increases at this percentage. This catalog values for the must-operate voltage and must-release voltage are given for a coil temperature of 23°C. **C-7** (c)Copyright OMRON Corporation 2007 All Rights Reserved. http://www.ia.omron.com/ ## C **-** B **-4 Applied Voltage Waveform for Input Voltage** As a rule, power supply waveforms are based on the rectangular (square) waveforms, and do not operate in such a way that the voltage applied to the coil slowly rises and falls. Also, do not use them to detect voltage or current limit values (i.e., using them for turning ON or OFF at the moment a voltage or current limit is reached). This kind of circuit causes faulty sequence operations. For example, the simultaneous operability of contacts may not be dependable (for multi-pole Relays, time variations must occur in contact operations), and the must-operate voltage varies with each operation. In addition, the operation and release times are lengthened, causing durability to drop and contact welding. Be sure to use an instantaneous ON/OFF. ## C **-** B **-5 Preventing Surges when the Coil Is Turned OFF** Counter electromotive force generated from a coil when the coil is turned OFF causes damage to semiconductor elements and faulty operation. As a countermeasure, install surge absorbing circuits at both ends of the coil. When surge absorbing circuits have been installed, the Relay release time will be lengthened, so be sure to check operation using the actual circuits. External surges must be taken into account for the repetitive peak reverse voltage and the DC reverse voltage, and a diode with sufficient capacity used. Also, ensure that the diode has an average rectified current that is greater than the coil current. Do not use under conditions in which a surge is included in the power supply, such as when an inductive load is connected in parallel to the coil. Doing so will cause damage to the installed (or built-in) coil surge absorbing diode. ## C **-** B **-6 Leakage Current to Relay Coils** Do not allow leakage current to flow to Relay coils. Construct a corrective circuit as shown in examples 1 and 2 below. **Example: Circuit with Leakage Current Occurring** **==> picture [192 x 146] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> TE<br>IO<br>Incorrect<br>Correct<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> **==> picture [83 x 9] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Corrective Example 1<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> **==> picture [88 x 9] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Corrective Example 2:<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> **==> picture [232 x 19] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> When an Output Value Is Required in the Same Phase as the<br>Input Value<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> **==> picture [193 x 64] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Correct<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> **==> picture [174 x 10] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> C - B -7 Using with Infrequent Switching<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## C **-** B **-8 Configuring Sequence Circuits** When configuring a sequence circuit, care must be taken to ensure that abnormal operation does not occur due to faults such as sneak current. The following diagram shows an example of sneak current. After contacts A, B, and C are closed causing Relays X1, X2, and X3 to operate, and then contacts B and C are opened, a series circuit is created from A to X1 to X2 to X3. This causes the Relay to hum or to not release. **==> picture [128 x 67] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> A B<br>X1 X2 X3<br>C Incorrect<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> The following diagram shows an example of a circuit that corrects the above problem.

Depending on the grounding method, electrolytic corrosion may occur, causing the wire to the coil to sever. If the Relay must be grounded, use the method shown in the following diagrams. - (1) Ground the positive side of the power supply. (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) - (2) If grounding the positive side of the power supply is not possible and the negative side must be grounded, connect a switch at the positive side so that the coil is connected to the negative side. (Fig. 3) - (3) Do not ground the negative side and connect a switch to the negative side. This will cause electrolytic corrosion to occur. (Fig. 4) **==> picture [228 x 125] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Correct Correct<br>Fig. 1 Fig. 2<br>Difference in electric potential<br>Correct Incorrect<br>Fig. 3 Fig. 4<br>Core Core<br>Core Core<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> **-** C B **-10 Individual Specifications for Must-operate/ release Voltages and Operate/Release Times** If it is necessary to know the individual specifications of characteristics, such as must-operate voltages, must-release voltages, operate times, and release times, please contact your OMRON representative. For operations using a microload and infrequent switching, periodically perform continuity tests on the contacts. When switching is not executed for contacts for long periods of time, it causes contact instability due to factors such as the formation of film on contact surfaces. The frequency with which the inspections are needed will depend on factors such as the operating environment and the type of load. **C-8** (c)Copyright OMRON Corporation 2007 All Rights Reserved. http://www.ia.omron.com/ ## **-** C B **-11 Using DC-operated Relays** ## **(1) Input Power Supply Ripple** For a DC-operated Relay power supply, use a power supply with a maximum ripple percentage of 5%. An increase in the ripple percentage will cause humming. **==> picture [236 x 120] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Smoothing Relay<br>capacitor<br>Ripple component<br>Emin Emax Emean DC component<br>Ripple percentage %= [Emax] Emean [−][Emin] × 100% E min.= Minimum value of ripple componentE max.= Maximum value of ripple component<br>E mean= Mean value of DC component<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## **-** C B **-12 Using DC-operated Relays (2) Coil Polarity** To make the correct connections, first check the individual terminal numbers and applied power supply polarities provided in this catalog. If the polarity is connected in reverse for the coil power supply when Relays with surge suppressor diodes or Relays with operation indicators are used, it can cause problems such as Relay malfunctioning, damage to diodes, or failure of indicators. Also, for Relays with diodes, it can cause damage to devices in the circuit due to short-circuiting. Polarized Relays that use a permanent magnet in a magnetic circuit will not operate if the power supply to the coil is connected in reverse. ## **-** C B **-13 Using DC-operated Relays** ## **(3) Coil Voltage Insufficiency** If insufficient voltage is applied to the coil, either the Relay will not operate or operation will be unstable. This will cause problems such as a drop in the electrical durability of the contacts and contact welding. In particular, when a load with a large surge current, such as a large motor, is used, the voltage applied to the coil may drop when a large inrush current occurs to operate the load as the power is turned ON. Also, if a Relay is operated while the voltage is insufficient, it will cause the Relay to malfunction even at vibration and shock values below the specifications specified in the specification sheets and this catalog. Therefore, be sure to apply the rated voltage to the coil. ## C **Mounting Design** ## C **-** C **-1 Lead Wire Diameters** Lead wire diameters are determined by the size of the load current. As a standard, use lead wires at least the size of the cross-sectional areas shown in the following table. If the lead wire is too thin, it may cause burning due to abnormal heating of the wire. |**Permissible current (A)**|**Cross-sectional area (mm2)**| |---|---| |6|0.75| |10|1.25| |15|2| |20|3.5| ## C **-** C **-2 When Sockets are Used** Check Relay and socket ratings, and use devices at the lower end of the ratings. Relay and socket rated values may vary, and using devices at the high end of the ratings can result in abnormal heating and burning at connections. ## C **-** C **-3 Mounting Direction** Depending on the model, a particular mounting direction may be specified. Check this catalog and then mount the device in the correct direction. ## C **-** C **-4 When Devices Such as Microcomputers are in Proximity** If a device that is susceptible to external noise, such as a microcomputer, is located nearby, take noise countermeasures into consideration when designing the pattern and circuits. If Relays are driven using a device such as a microcomputer, and a large current is switched by Relay contacts, noise generated by arcing can cause the microcomputer to malfunction. ## D **Operating and Storage Environments** ## D **-1 Operating, Storage, and Transport** During operation, storage, and transport, avoid direct sunlight and maintain room temperature, humidity, and pressure. - If Relays are used or stored for a long period of time in an atmosphere of high temperature and humidity, oxidation and sulphurization films will form on contact surfaces, causing problems such as contact failure. - If the ambient temperature is suddenly changed in an atmosphere of high temperature and humidity, condensation will develop inside of the Relay. This condensation may cause insulation failure and deterioration of insulation due to tracking (an electric phenomenon) on the surface of the insulation material. - Also, in an atmosphere of high humidity, with load switching accompanied by a comparatively large arc discharge, a dark green corrosive product may be generated inside of the Relay. To prevent this, it is recommended that Relays be used in at low humidity. - If Relays are to be used after having been stored for a long period, first inspect the power transmission before use. Even if Relays are stored without being used at all, contact instability and obstruction may occur due to factors such as chemical changes to contact surfaces, and terminal soldering characteristics may be degraded. ## D **-2 Operating Atmosphere** - Do not use Relays in an atmosphere containing flammable or explosive gas. Arcs and heating resulting from Relay switching may cause fire or explosion. - Do not use Relays in an atmosphere containing dust. The dust will get inside the Relays and cause contact failure. ## D **-3 Using Relays in an Atmosphere Containing Corrosive Gas (Silicon, Sulfuric, or Organic Gas)** Do not use Relays in a location where silicon gas, sulfuric gas (SO2 or H2S), or organic gas is present. If Relays are stored or used for a long period of time in an atmosphere of sulfuric gas or organic gas, contact surfaces may become corroded and cause contact instability and obstruction, and terminal soldering characteristics may be degraded. Also, if Relays are stored or used for a long period of time in an atmosphere of silicon gas, a silicon film will form on contact surfaces, causing contact failure. The effects of corrosive gas can be reduced by the processing shown in the following table. |**Item**|**Processing**| |---|---| |Outer case, housing|Seal structure using packing.| |PCB, copperplating|Applycoating.| |Connectors|Apply gold plating or rhodium<br>plating.| **C-9** (c)Copyright OMRON Corporation 2007 All Rights Reserved. http://www.ia.omron.com/ ## D **-4 Adhesion of Water, Chemicals, Solvent, and Oil** Do not use or store Relays in an atmosphere exposed to water, chemicals, solvent, or oil. If Relays are exposed to water or chemicals, it can cause rusting, corrosion, resin deterioration, and burning due to tracking. Also, if they are exposed to solvents such as thinner or gasoline, it can erase markings and cause components to deteriorate. If oil adheres to the transparent case (polycarbonate), it can cause the case to cloud up or crack. ## D **-5 Vibration and Shock** Do not allow Relays to be subjected to vibration or shock that exceeds the rated values. If abnormal vibration or shock is received, it will not only cause malfunctioning but faulty operation due to deformation of components in Relays, damage, etc. Mount Relays in locations and using methods that will not let them be affected by devices (such as motors) that generate vibration so that Relays are not subjected to abnormal vibration. ## D **-6 External Magnetic Fields** Do not use Relays in a location where an external magnetic field of 800 A/m or greater is present. If they are used in a location with a strong magnetic field, it will cause malfunctioning. Also, strong magnetic field may cause the arc discharge between contacts during switching to be bent or may cause tracking or insulation failure. **==> picture [118 x 38] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Magnetic<br>field Relay or<br>transformer<br>Relay<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## D **-7 External Loads** Do not use or store Relays in such a way that they are subjected to external loads. The original performance capabilities of the Relays cannot be maintained if they are subjected to an external load. ## D **-8 Adhesion of Magnetic Dust** Do not use Relays in an atmosphere containing a large amount of magnetic dust. Relay performance cannot be maintained if magnetic dust adheres to the case. ## E **-** A **-2 Relay Removal Direction** Insert and remove Relays from the socket perpendicular to the socket surface. **==> picture [218 x 84] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Correct Incorrect<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> If they are inserted or removed at an angle, Relay terminals may be bent and may not make proper contact with the socket. ## E **-** A **-3 Terminal Soldering** Solder General-purpose Relays manually following the precautions described below. **1.** Smooth the tip of the solder gun and then begin the soldering. - Solder: JIS Z3282, H60A or H63A (containing rosin-based flux) - Soldering iron: Rated at 30 to 60 W - Tip temperature: 280 to 300°C - Soldering time: Approx. 3 s max. Solder **Note:** For lead-free solder, perform Flux the soldering under conditions that conform to the applicable specifications. **2.** Use a non-corrosive rosin-based flux suitable for the Relay's structural materials. - For flux solvent, use an alcohol-based solvent, which tends to be less chemically reactive. **3.** As shown in the above illustration, solder is available with a cut section to prevent flux from splattering. When soldering Relay terminals, be careful not to allow materials such as solder, flux, and solvent to adhere to areas outside of the terminals. If this occurs, solder, flux, or solvent can penetrate inside of the Relays and cause degrading of the insulation and contact failure. ## B **Printed Circuit Board Relays** ## E **-** B **-1 Ultrasonic Cleaning** ## E **Relay Mounting Operations** ## A **Plug-in Relays** ## E **-** A **-1 Panel-mounting Sockets** **1.** Socket Mounting Screws When mounting a panel-mounting socket to the mounting holes, make sure that the screws are tightened securely. If there is any looseness in the socket mounting screws, vibration and shock can cause the socket, Relays, and lead wire to detach. Panel-mounting sockets that can be snapped on to a 35-mm DIN Track are also available. **2.** Lead Wire Screw Connections - Tighten lead wire screws to a torque of 0.98 N·m (P7SA and P7S). If the screws connecting a panel-mounting socket are not sufficiently tightened, the lead wire can become detached and abnormal heating or fire can be caused by the contact failure. Conversely, excessive tightening can strip the threads. Do not use ultrasonic cleaning for Relays that are not designed for it. Resonance from the ultrasonic waves used in ultrasonic cleaning can cause damage to a Relay's internal components, including sticking of contacts and disconnection of coils. ## C **Common Items** ## E **-** C **-1 Removing the Case and Cutting Terminals** Absolutely do not remove the case and cut terminals. Doing so will cause the Relay's original performance capabilities to be lost. ## E **-** C **-2 Deformed Terminals** Do not attempt to repair and use a terminal that has been deformed. Doing so will cause excessive force to be applied to the Relay, and the Relay's original performance capabilities will be lost. ## E **-** C **-3 Replacing Relays and Performing Wiring Operations** Before replacing a Relay or performing a wiring operation, first turn OFF the power to the coil and the load and check to make sure that the operation will be safe. ## E **-** C **-4 Coating and Packing** G7S and G7SA Relays are not fully sealed, so do not use a coating or packing resin. **C-10** (c)Copyright OMRON Corporation 2007 All Rights Reserved. http://www.ia.omron.com/ ## F **Handling Relays** ## F **-1 Vibration and Shock** Relays are precision components. Regardless of whether or not they are mounted, do not exceed the rated values for vibration and shock. The vibration and shock values are determined individually for each Relay, so check the individual Relay specifications in this catalog. ## F **-2 Dropped Products** Do not use a product that has been dropped, or that has been taken apart. Not only may its characteristics not be satisfied, but it may be susceptible to damage or burning. If a Relay is subjected to abnormal vibration or shock, its original performance capabilities will be lost. ## G **Relays for Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)** ## G **-1 Selecting PCBs** ## **(1) PCB Materials** PCBs are classified into those made of epoxy and those made of phenol. The following table lists the characteristics of these PCBs. Select one, taking into account the application and cost. Epoxy PCBs are recommended for mounting Relays to prevent the solder from cracking. |cracking.|||| |---|---|---|---| |**Material**<br>**Item**|**Epoxy**||**Phenol**| ||**Glass epoxy (GE)**|**Paper epoxy (PE) **|**Paper phenol (PP)**| |Electrical<br>characteristics|**•** High insulation<br>resistance.<br>**•** Insulation<br>resistance hardly<br>affected by<br>moisture<br>absorption.|Characteristics<br>between glass<br>epoxy and phenol|New PCBs are<br>highly insulation-<br>resistive but easily<br>affected by<br>moisture<br>absorption.| |Mechanical<br>characteristics|**•** The dimensions<br>are not easily<br>affected by<br>temperature or<br>humidity.<br>**•** Suitable for<br>through-hole or<br>multi-layer PCBs.|Characteristics<br>between glass<br>epoxy and phenol|**•** The dimensions<br>are easily<br>affected by<br>temperature or<br>humidity.<br>**•** Not suitable for<br>through-hole<br>PCBs.| |Relative cost|High|Moderate|Low| |Applications|Applications that<br>require high<br>reliability.|Characteristics<br>between glass<br>epoxy and phenol|Applications in<br>comparatively good<br>environments with<br>low-density wiring.| ## G **-2 Selecting PCBs** ## **(2) PCB Thickness** The PCB may warp due to the size, mounting method, or ambient operating temperature of the PCB or the weight of components mounted to the PCB. Should warping occur, the internal mechanism of the Relay on the PCB will be deformed and the Relay may not provide its full capability. Determine the thickness of the PCB by taking the material of the PCB into consideration. In general, PCB thickness should be 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, or 2.0 mm. Taking Relay terminal length into consideration, the optimum thickness is 1.6 mm. **==> picture [97 x 50] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Terminal length<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## G **-3 Selecting PCBs** ## **(3) Terminal Hole and Land Diameters** Refer to the following table to select the terminal hole and land diameters based on the Relay mounting dimensions. The land diameter may be smaller if the land is processed with through-hole plating. |plating.|plating.|| |---|---|---| |**Terminal hole diameter (mm)**||**Minimum land diameter (mm)**| |**Nominal value**|**Tolerance**|| |0.6|±0.1|1.5| |0.8||1.8| |1.0||2.0| |1.2||2.5| |1.3||2.5| |1.5||3.0| |1.6||3.0| |2.0||3.0| ## G **-4 Mounting Space** ## A Ambient Temperature When mounting a Relay, check this catalog for the specified amount of mounting space for that Relay, and be sure to allow at least that much space. When two or more Relays are mounted, their interaction may generate excessive heat. In addition, if multiple PCBs with Relays are mounted to a rack, the temperature may rise excessively. When mounting Relays, leave enough space so that heat will not build up, and so that the Relays' ambient temperature remains within the specified operating temperature range. B Mutual Magnetic Interference When two or more Relays are mounted, Relay characteristics may be changed by interference from the magnetic fields generated by the individual Relays. Be sure to conduct tests using the actual devices. ## G **-5 Pattern Design for Noise Countermeasures** ## A Noise from Coils When the coil is turned OFF, reverse power is generated to both ends of the coil and a noise spike occurs. As a countermeasure, connect a surge absorbing diode. The diagram below shows an example of a circuit for reducing noise propagation. **==> picture [154 x 118] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Noise is superimposed The pattern will<br>on the power supply line, form an antenna<br>so a separate pattern is circuit, so make<br>connected from a it as short as<br>smoothing capacitor to possible.<br>supply coil power.<br>Power supply line<br>Smoothing Relay drive transistor<br>capacitor<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> **C-11** (c)Copyright OMRON Corporation 2007 All Rights Reserved. http://www.ia.omron.com/ ## B Noise from Contacts Noise may be transmitted to the electronic circuit when switching a load, such as a motor or transistor, that generates a surge at the contacts. When designing patterns, take the following three points into consideration. **1.** Do not place a signal transmission pattern near the contact pattern. **2.** Shorten the length of patterns that may be sources of noise. **3.** Block noise from electronic circuits by means such as constructing ground patterns. - C High-frequency Patterns As the manipulated frequency is increased, pattern mutual interference also increases. Therefore, take noise countermeasures into consideration when designing high-frequency pattern and land shapes. ## G **-6 Shape of Lands** **1.** The land section should be on the center line of the copper-foil pattern, so that the soldered fillets become uniform. Correct Examples Incorrect Examples **2.** A break in the circular land area will prevent molten solder from filling holes reserved for components which must be soldered manually after the automatic soldering of the PCB is complete. ## G **-8 Conductor Pitch** The conductor pitch on a PCB is determined by the insulation characteristics between conductors and the environmental conditions under which the PCB is to be used. Refer to the following graph. If the PCB must conform to safety organization standards (such as UL, CSA, or IEC), however, priority must be given to fulfilling their requirements. Also, multi-layer PCBs can be used as a means of increasing the conductor pitch. ## **Voltage between Conductors vs. Conductor Pitch (According to IEC Pub326-3)** **==> picture [156 x 156] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> 3,000 C<br>2,000<br>1,000<br>700 A<br>500<br>D<br>300 B<br>200<br>100<br>70<br>50<br>30<br>20<br>0.1 0.2 0.3 0.5 0.71.0 2 3 5 10<br>Conductor pitch (mm)<br>A = Without coating at altitude of 3,000 m max.<br>Rated Voltage between Conductors (Vdc)<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> B = Without coating at altitude of 3,000 m or higher but lower than 15,000 m C = With coating at altitude of 3,000 m max.

Refer to this table when checking the circuit and other items. If checking the circuit reveals no abnormality, and it appears that the fault is caused by a Relay, contact your OMRON representative. (Do not disassemble the Relay. Doing so will make it impossible to identify the cause of the problem.) These problems, however, mostly occur as a result of external factors such as methods and conditions of operation, and can generally be prevented by means of careful consideration before operation and by selecting the correct Relays. The following table shows the main faults that may occur, their probable causes, and suggested countermeasures to correct them. A Relay is composed of various mechanical parts, including a coil, contacts, and iron core. Among these, problems occur most often with the contacts, and next often with the coil. |**Fault**|**Probable cause**|**Countermeasures**| |---|---|---| |(1) Operation fault|**1.** Incorrect coil rated voltage selected<br>**2.** Faulty wiring<br>**3.** Input signal not received<br>**4.** Power supply voltage drop<br>**5.** Circuit voltage drop (Be careful in particular of high-<br>current devices operated nearby or wired at a<br>distance.)<br>**6.** Rise in operating voltage along with rise in ambient<br>operating temperature (especially for DC)<br>**7.** Coil disconnection|**1.** Select the correct rated voltage.<br>**2.** Check the voltage between coil terminals.<br>**3.** Check the voltage between coil terminals.<br>**4.** Check the power supply voltage.<br>**5.** Check the circuit voltage.<br>**6.** Test individual Relay operation.<br>**7.** •For coil burning, see fault (3).<br>•For disconnection due to electrical corrosion,<br>check the polarity being applied to the coil voltage.| |(2) Release fault|**1.** Input signal OFF fault<br>**2.** Voltage is applied to the coil by a sneak current<br>**3.** Residual voltage by a combination circuit such as a<br>semiconductor circuit<br>**4.** Release delay due to parallel connection of coil and<br>capacitor<br>**5.** Contact welding|**1.** Check the voltage between coil terminals.<br>**2.** Check the voltage between coil terminals.<br>**3.** Check the voltage between coil terminals.<br>**4.** Check the voltage between coil terminals.<br>**5.** For contact welding, see fault (4).| |(3) Coil burning|**1.** Unsuitable voltage applied to coil<br>**2.** Incorrect rated voltage selected<br>**3.** Short-circuit between coil layers|**1.** Check the voltage between coil terminals.<br>**2.** Select the correct rated voltage.<br>**3.** Recheck the operatingatmosphere.| |(4) Contact welding|**1.** Excessive device load connected (insufficient<br>contact capacity)<br>**2.** Excessive switching frequency<br>**3.** Short-circuiting of load circuit<br>**4.** Abnormal contact switching due to humming<br>**5.** Expected service life of contacts reached|**1.** Check the load capacity.<br>**2.** Check the number of switches.<br>**3.** Check the load circuits.<br>**4.** For humming, see fault (7).<br>**5.** Check the contact ratings.| |(5) Contact failure|**1.** Oxidation of contact surfaces<br>**2.** Contact abrasion and aging<br>**3.** Terminal and contact displacement due to faulty<br>handling|**1.** •Recheck the operating atmosphere.<br>•Select the correct Relay.<br>**2.** The expected service life of the contacts has been<br>reached.<br>**3.** Be careful of vibration, shock, and soldering<br>operations.| |(6) Abnormal contact<br>consumption|**1.** Unsuitable Relay selection<br>**2.** Insufficient consideration of device load (especially<br>motor, solenoid, and lamp loads)<br>**3.** No contact protection circuit<br>**4.** Insufficient withstand voltage between adjacent<br>contacts|**1.** Select the correct Relay.<br>**2.** Select the correct devices.<br>**3.** Add a circuit such as a spark quenching circuit.<br>**4.** Select the correct Relay.| |(7) Humming|**1.** Insufficient voltage applied to coil<br>**2.** Excessive power supply ripple (DC)<br>**3.** Incorrect coil rated voltage selected<br>**4.** Slow rise in input voltage<br>**5.** Abrasion in iron core<br>**6.** Foreign material between moveable iron piece and<br>iron core|**1.** Check the voltage between coil terminals.<br>**2.** Check the ripple percentage.<br>**3.** Select the correct rated voltage.<br>**4.** Make supplemental changes to circuit.<br>**5.** The expected service life has been reached.<br>**6.** Remove the foreign material.| **C-15** (c)Copyright OMRON Corporation 2007 All Rights Reserved. http://www.ia.omron.com/ ## **WARNING** This catalog is a guide to help customers select the proper safety products.
