- The slanted dashed line indicates the allowable temperature rise for the coil at different ambient temperatures. - The above temperature rise curves show the characteristics when 100% of the rated coil voltage is applied. ## **Safety Precautions** - Turn off the power to the RJ relay before starting installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, and inspection. Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shock or fire hazard. - Use wires of the proper size to meet the voltage and current requirements. - Tighten terminal screws to a proper tightening torque. - Observe the specifications and rated values, otherwise electrical shock or fire hazard may be caused. (110620) 7 RJ Series Slim Power Relay (bifurcated contacts) ## **Instructions** |**1. Driving Circuit for Relays**
1. To make sure of correct relay operation, apply
rated voltage to the relay coil.
2. Input voltage for DC coil:
Complete DC voltage is best for the coil power
to make sure of stable operation. When using
a power supply containing a ripple voltage,
suppress the ripple factor within 5%. When
power is supplied through a rectifcation circuit,
relay operating characteristics, such as pickup
voltage and dropout voltage, depend on the
ripple factor. Connect a smoothing capacitor for
better operating characteristics as shown below.

3. Operating the relay in sync with an AC load:
If the relay operates in sync with AC power
voltage of the load, the relay life may be reduced.
If this is the case, select a relay in consideration
of the required reliability for the load. Or, make
the relay turn on and off irrespective of the AC
power phase or near the point where the AC
phase crosses zero voltage.

When driving an element at the same time as
the relay operation, special consideration is
needed for the circuit design. As shown in the
incorrect circuit below, leakage current (Io)|fows through the relay coil while the relay is off.
Leakage current causes coil release failure or
adversely affects the vibration resistance and
shock resistance. Design a circuit as shown in
the correct example.
5. Surge suppression for transistor driving circuits:
When the relay coil is turned off, a high-voltage
pulse is generated. Be sure to connect a diode
to suppress the counter electromotive force.
Then, the coil release time becomes slightly
longer. To shorten the coil release time, connect
a Zener diode between the collector and emitter
of the controlling transistor. Select a Zener
diode with a Zener voltage slightly higher than
the power voltage.

**2. Protection for Relay Contacts**
1. The contact ratings show maximum values.
Make sure that these values are not exceeded.
When an inrush current fows through the load,
the contact may become welded. If this is the
case, connect a contact protection circuit, such
as a current limiting resistor.
2. Contact protection circuit:
When switching an inductive load, arcing
causes carbides to form on the contacts,
resulting in increased contact resistance. In
consideration of contact reliability, contact
life, and noise suppression, use of a surge
absorbing circuit is recommended. Note that the
release time of the load becomes slightly longer.
Check the operation using an actual load.
Incorrect use of a contact protection circuit will
adversely affect switching characteristics. Four
typical examples of contact protection circuits

**3. Notes on PC Board Mounting**
When mounting 2 or more relays on a PC board,
•
keep a minimum spacing of 5 mm in each
direction.
Manual soldering: Solder the terminals at 350°C
•
within 3 sec., using a soldering iron of 60W (Sn-
Ag-Cu type) is recommended.
Auto-soldering: Solder at
•
250°C within 4 to 5 sec.
Because the terminal part is flled with epoxy
•
resin, do not excessively solder or bend the
terminal. Otherwise, air tightness will degrade.
Avoid the soldering iron from touching the relay
•
cover or the epoxy flled terminal part.
Use a non-corrosive resin fux.
•
**4. Others**
1. General notice:
To maintain the initial characteristics, do not
•
drop or shock the relay.
The relay cover cannot be removed from the
•
base during normal operation. To maintain
the initial characteristics, do not remove the
relay cover.
Use the relay in environments free from dust,
•
sulfur dioxide (SO2), hydrogen sulfde (H2S),
or organic gases.
Make sure that the coil voltage does not
•
exceed the applicable coil voltage range.
2. Connecting outputs to electronic circuits:
When the output is connected to a load which
responds very quickly, such as an electronic
circuit, contact bouncing causes incorrect
operation of the load. Take the following
measures into consideration.
a. Connect an integration circuit.
b. Suppress the pulse voltage due to bouncing
within the noise margin of the load.
3. Do not use relays in the vicinity of strong
magnetic felds, as this may affect relay
operation.|| ||RC|Power
