FEATURES
1. Slim size (width 5 mm .197 inch,
height 12.5 mm .492 inch) permits
higher density mounting
Despite the slim 5 mm width, the 20 mm
length is still compact and the 12.5 mm
prole is low. Even when a socket is
used, the height is still only 18 mm.
Suitable for high-density mounting, these
relays enable device size smaller.
RoHS compliant
2. Nominal operating power: High
sensitivity of 120mW
Enables smaller power supplies,
facilitates energy saving applications,
and contributes to device size smaller.
3. Control from low level loads to 5 A
Use of gold-clad twin contacts enables
control of low level loads down to 100 mV
100 A and up to 5 A 250 V AC and 30 V
DC.
4. Reinforced according to IEC1131-2
(TV)
5. High surge breakdown voltage
(4000 V) and high breakdown voltage
(2000 V)
Between contacts and coil of 2,000 V and
surge resistance of 4,000 V work to
prevent controller malfunctions caused by
noise and surges.
6. Outstanding vibration and shock
resistance.
Functional shock resistance: 147 m/s
2
Functional vibration resistance:
10 to 55 Hz (at double amplitude of
2.5 mm .098 inch)
Keeps equipment from miss-operation
due to vibration and shock.
Can be used as mounted on control
panel doors.
7. Sealed construction allows
automatic washing.
8. SIL (single in line) terminal layout
9. Complies with safety standards
Complies with Japanese Electrical
Appliance and Material Safety Law, and
certied by UL, CSA, and TV.
10. Sockets are available
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
1. Industrial equipment, ofce
equipment
2. Measuring devices and test
equipment
3. Interface relays for programmable
controllers
4. Output relays in small devices such
as timers, counters, sensors, and
temperature controllers.

1. Coil data
Notes: *1 Pulse drive (JIS C 5442)
*2 24V DC, 120mW type are also available, please consult us.
2. Specications
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. Wave is standard shock voltage of 1.250s according to JEC-212-1981
*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
For Cautions for Use.
1. If it includes ripple, the ripple factor
should be less than 5%.
2. Specication values for pick-up and
drop-out voltages are for the relay
mounting with its terminals below.
3. When mounting the relays within 1 mm
.039 inch, please notice the condition
below.
1) Mount the relays in the same direction.
2) Coil terminals (Terminal No. 1 & 2)
polarity should be arranged in the same
direction.
3) Allowable contact current is 2 A.
4) About the electrical life for close
mounting, please refer to data below.
