1) Coil data
(1) AC coils (50/60Hz)
Notes: 1. The relay operates in a range of 80% to 110% V of the voltage rating, but ideally, in consideration of temporary voltage fluctuations, it should be operated at the
rated voltage . In particular , f or A C operation, if the applied v oltage drops to 80% V or more below the rated v oltage, humming will occur and a large current will flo w
leading possibly to coil burnout.
2. The maximum applied voltage is the maximum voltage fluctuation value for the coil power supply. This value is not a permissible value for continuous operation.
(This value differs depending on the ambient temperature. Please contact us for details.)

(2) DC coils
Notes: 1. The coil resistance for DC operation is the value measured when the coil temperature is 20°C 68°F. Compensate ±0.4% for every ±1°C change in temperature.
2. The relay operates in a range of 80% to 110% V of the voltage rating, but ideally, in consideration of temporary voltage fluctuations, it should be operated at the
rated voltage.
3. For use with 200 V DC, connect a 10 K (5W) resistor, in series, to the 100 V DC relay.
4. The maximum applied voltage is the maximum voltage fluctuation value for the coil power supply. This value is not a permissible value for continuous operation.
(This value differs depending on the ambient temperature. Please contact us for details.)
2) Specifications
Notes: *1. This value can change due to the switching frequency, environmental conditions and desired reliability level, therefore it is recommended to check this with the
actual load.
*2. For the AC coil types, the operate/release time will differ depending on the phase.
*3. The upper limit of the ambient temperature is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. Refer to Usage, transport and storage
conditions in NOTES.

Notes: 1. In mounting, use M3 screws and M3 washers.
2. When mounting TM types, use washers to prevent damage or distortion to the polycarbonate cover.
3. When tightening fixing screws, the optim um torque range should be 0.294 to 0.49 N·m, (3 to 5 kgf·cm).
Moreover, use washers to prevent loosening.

Diagrams show the external dimensions and
schematic of the 4 Form C and 4-pole bifurcated

3 Form C types, only the terminals differ. The
dimensions of the terminal are the same as for
standard type HC relays.

1. Amber sealed type
When mounting TM types, use washers
to prevent damage or distortion to the
polycarbonate cover. When tightening
fixing screws, the optimum torque range
should be 0.294 to 0.49 N·m, (3 to 5
kgf·cm). If screws are over tightened, the
cover may distort, resulting in poor
sealing. Moreover, to prevent loosening,
use washers.
2. Keep relay
1) The schematic differs from that in the
standard type 4 Form C HC relay. Follow
the schematic on the cover sticker.
2) Conf orm with the schematic f or the DC
type, which has a polarized coil.
3) Because retention characteristics vary
according to the waveform of the voltage
applied to the coil, do your best to avoid
capacitor driving.
In capacitor driving, use a capacitor of
300 µF or more.
4) Ensure that the minimum pulse width
of voltage applied to coil is greater than
150 ms.
3. Diode characteristics
1) Reverse breakdown voltage: 1,000 V
2) Forward current: 1 A
4. Diode and CR built-in type
Since the diode and CR inside the relay
coil are designed to absorb the counter
emf, the element may be damaged if a
large surge, etc., is applied to the diode
and CR.
If there is the possibility of a large surge
voltage from the outside, please
implement measures to absorb it.
5. Please connect DC coil types with
LED and built-in diode correctly by
verifying the coil polarity (“+” and “–
”). Connecting with reverse polarity
will cause the LED not to light and
damage the built-in diode due to its
specification.
