–5– ASCTB105E 201703-T
NOTES
1. Coil operating power
Pure DC current should be applied to the coil. The wave form
should be rectangular. If it includes ripple, the ripple factor
should be less than 5%.
However, check it with the actual circuit since the characteristics
may be slightly different. The nominal operating voltage should
be applied to the coil for more than 20 ms to set/reset the
latching type relay.
2. Coil connection
When connecting coils, refer to the wiring diagram to prevent
mis-operation or malfunction.
3. External magnetic field
Since RJ relays are highly sensitive polarized relays, their
characteristics will be affected by a strong external magnetic
field. Avoid using the relay under that condition.
4. Cleaning
For automatic cleaning, the boiling method is recommended.
Avoid ultrasonic cleaning which subjects the relays to high
frequency vibrations, which may cause the contacts to stick.
It is recommended that alcoholic solvents be used.
5. Tape and reel packing
1) Tape dimensions
2) Dimensions of plastic reel
6. Conditions for operation, transport and storage
conditions
1) Ambient temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure
during usage, transport, and storage of the relay:
(1) Temperature:
–30 to +70°C –22 to +158°F
(However, tolerance range is –30 to +60°C –22 to +140°F if
package is carried as is.)
(2) Humidity: 5 to 85% RH
(Avoid freezing and condensation.)
The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the
range indicated in the graph below.
(3) Atmospheric pressure: 86 to 106 kPa Temperature and
humidity range for usage, transport, and storage:
2) Condensation
Condensation forms when there is a sudden change in
temperature under high temperature and high humidity
conditions. Condensation will cause deterioration of the relay
insulation.
3) Freezing
Condensation or other moisture may freeze on the relay when
the temperature is lower than 0°C 32°F. This causes problems
such as sticking of movable parts or operational time lags.
4) Low temperature, low humidity environments
The plastic becomes brittle if the relay is exposed to a low
temperature, low humidity environment for long periods of time.
5) Storage procedures for surface-mount terminal types
Since the relay is very sensitive to humidity, it is packed in
humidity-free, hermetically sealed packaging. When storing the
relay, be careful of the following points:
(1) Be sure to use the relay immediately after removing it from its
sealed package.
(2) When storing the relay for long periods of time after removing
it from its sealed package, we recommend using a humidity-free
bag with silica gel to prevent subjecting the relay to humidity.
Furthermore, if the relay is solder mounted when it has been
subjected to excessive humidity, cracks and leaks can occur. Be
sure to mount the relay under the required mounting conditions.

7. Soldering
1) Surface-mount terminal
In case of automatic soldering, the following conditions should
be observed
(1) Position of measuring temperature
(2) IR (infrared reflow) soldering method
Temperature rise of relay itself may vary according to the
mounting level or the heating method of reflow equipment.
Therefore, please set the temperature of soldering portion of
relay terminal and the top surface of the relay case not to exceed
the above mentioned soldering condition.
It is recommended to check the temperature rise of each portion
under actual mounting condition before use.
2) Standard PC board terminal
Please meet the following conditions if this relay is to be
automatically soldered.
(1) Preheating: Max. 120°C 248°F (terminal solder surface) for
max. 120 seconds
(2) Soldering: Max. 260±5°C 500±9°F for max. 6 seconds
The effect on the relay depends on the actual substrate used.
Please verify the substrate to be used.
Moisture-proof packaging enables RJ relay’s standard PCB type
capable for reflow soldering.
Please contact us in the case of reflow soldering considerations.
3) Hand soldering
Please meet the following conditions if this relay is to be
soldered by hand.
(1) Wattage: 30 to 60 W
(2) Tip temperature/time: 280 to 300°C 536 to 572°F for max. 5
seconds
The effect on the relay depends on the actual substrate used.
Please verify the substrate to be used.
4) Avoid high frequency cleaning since this may adversely affect
relay characteristics. Use alcohol-based cleaning solutions
when cleaning relays.
8. Measuring method (50Ω type)
Connect connectors 1 and 2 respectively to PORT 1 and
PORT 2. Perform calibration using the 3.5 mm .138 inch
calibration kit (HP85052B).
After calibration, connect the D.U.T board and measure. Non
measure terminals: 50 Ω termination
*Isolation (Between contact sets): Measured between open
contact (4-5 terminal, 9-10 terminal)
Notes:
1. All bottom surface of the base should be touched closely or soldered with PC
board ground.
2. 4 ribs should be soldered with PC board ground.

9. Others
1) The switching lifetime is defined under the standard test
condition specified in the JIS* C 5442-1996 standard
(temperature 15 to 35°C 59 to 95°F, humidity 25 to 75%). Check
this with the real device as it is affected by coil driving circuit,
load type, activation frequency, activation phase, ambient
conditions and other factors.
Also, be especially careful of loads such as those listed below.
When used for AC load-operating and the operating phase is
synchronous. Rocking and fusing can easily occur due to
contact shifting.
• High-frequency load-operating
When high-frequency opening and closing of the relay is
performed with a load that causes arcs at the contacts, nitrogen
and oxygen in the air is fused by the arc energy and HNO3 is
formed. This can corrode metal materials.
Three countermeasures for these are listed here.
(1) Incorporate an arc-extinguishing circuit.
(2) Lower the operating frequency
(3) Lower the ambient humidity
2) Use the relay within specifications such as coil rating, contact
rating and on/off service life. If used beyond limits, the relay may
overheat, generate smoke or catch fire.
3) Be careful not to drop the relay. If accidentally dropped,
carefully check its appearance and characteristics before use.
4) Be careful to wire the relay correctly. Otherwise, malfunction,
overheat, fire or other trouble may occur.
5) If a relay stays on in a circuit for many months or years at a
time without being activated, circuit design should be reviewed
so that the relay can remain non-excited. A coil that receives
current all the time heats, which degrades insulation earlier than
expected. A latching type relay is recommended for such
circuits.
6) The latching type relay is shipped in the reset position. But
jolts during transport or impacts during installation can change
the reset position. It is, therefore, advisable to build a circuit in
which the relay can be initialized (set and reset) just after turning
on the power.
7) If silicone materials (e.g., silicone rubbers, silicone oils,
silicone coating agents, silicone sealers) are used in the vicinity
of the relay, the gas emitted from the silicone may adhere to the
contacts of the relay during opening and closing and lead to
improper contact. If this is the case, use a material other than
silicone.
8) We recommend latching type when using in applications
which involve lengthy duty cycles.
