  • Page 3 4. Load, 1. General Contact performance is significantly influenced by voltage and current values applied to the contacts (in Electrical life particular, the voltage and current waveforms at the time of application and release), the type of load, frequency of switching, ambient atmosphere, contact switching speed, and of bounce, which lead the various other damages such as unsuitable operation contact transfer, welding, abnormal wear, increase in contact resistance.
  • Page 4 Please test adequately, for example when a relay is operated by external manual switch (such as key switch.) 16. High- When the switching frequency is high, the electrical life may decrease. Please confirm if there is a frequency high-frequent switching caused by abnormal mode in actual use condition.
  • Page 5 Avoid using the protection circuits shown in the figures below. Although it is usually more difficult to switch with DC inductive loads compared to resistive loads, use of the proper protection circuit will raise the characteristics to that for resistive loads.
  • Page 6 4. Load, 23. Connection Connect the load to one side of the power supply as shown in Fig. (a). Connect the contacts to the other electrical of load side. This prevents high voltages from developing between contacts. If contacts are connected to both life side of the power supply as shown in Fig.

Coil 4.Twin-relay For relays which have multiple coils such as twin relay for forward-reverse operation of motor, if the coils impressed coil are continuously turned on at the same time, the coil temperature may exceed the tolerance in a short voltage simultaneous time due to heat generation of each coil.

Snap action (Characteristic of relay with voltage rise and fall) impressed by means of It is necessary for the relay coil not to impress voltage slowly but to impress the rated voltage in a short circuit a transistor time and also to drop the voltage to zero in a short time.

In case of the load for temperature control whose load is a high current load such as a heater, some relays switch only peak values and some other relays switch only zero phase values as a phenomenon of this type of control.

In the case of water exposure in severe conditions or ambient resistance immersion, please verify water resistance of the relay or contact us. Even for sealed-type relays, its condition terminals are not waterproof, so please avoid a failure such as terminal corrosion.

  • Page 14 15. PCB 1. Through-hole type mounting In keeping with making devices compact, it is becoming more common to solder the relay to a PC board along with the semiconductors instead of using the previous plug-in type in which relays were plugged into sockets. With this style, loss of function may occur because of seepage into the relay of flux, which is applied to the PC board.

  • Page 16 15. PCB 2. SMD type mounting To meet the market demand for downsizing to smaller, lighter, and thinner products, PC boards also need to proceed from insertion mounting to surface mounting technology. To meet this need, we offer a line of surface mount relays. The following describes some cautions required for surface mount relay installation to prevent malfunction and incorrect operation.

Cautions for installation 1. Paste Soldering 2. Relay mounting IRS is the most popular reflow soldering technology now available for surface mounting. It uses a sheath heater or infrared lamp as its heat source.

Cooling / Cleaning Reflow soldering under inadequate soldering conditions may result in unreliable relay performance or even physical damage to the relay (even if the relay is of surface mount type with high heat resistance). 1.IRS profile Note: When a soldering technique other than above is to be used (hot air, hotplate, laser, or pulse heater technique), carefully investigate the suitability of the technique.

Reliability in a Narrow Sense of the Term In the industrial world, reliability is an index of how long a particular product serves without failure during use period. 2. Reliability in a Board Sense of the Term Every product has a finite service lifetime.
  • Page 21 1. Degree of Reliability Degree of reliability represents percentage ratio of reliability. For example, if none of 10 light bulbs has failed for 100 hours, the degree of reliability defined in, 100 hours of time is 10/10 = 100%. If only three bulbs remained alive, the degree of reliability is 3/10 = 30%. The JIS Z8115 standard defines the degree of reliability as follows: The probability at which a system, equipment, or part provides the specified functions over the intended duration under the specified conditions.
  • Page 22 [3] Failure 1. What is Failure? Failure is defined as a state of system, equipment, or component in which part of all of its functions are impaired or lost. 2. Bathtub Curve Product's failure rate throughout its lifetime is depicted as a bathtub curve, as shown below. Failure rate is high at the beginning and end of its service lifetime.
  • Page 23 3. Weibull Analysis Weibull analysis is often used for classifying a product's failure patterns and to determine its lifetime. Weibull distribution is expressed by the following equation: where Weibull distribution can be adopted to the actual failure rate distribution if the three variables above are estimated. The Weibull probability chart is a simpler alternative of complex calculation formulas.
