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 Humidity, %RH 85 Tolerance range (Avoid freezing when used at temperatures lower than 0C 32F) 5 -40 -40 (Avoid condensation when used at temperatures higher than 0C 32F) 0 +32 Temperature, C F 85 +185 4) 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. 5) Freezing Condensation or other moisture may freeze on the relay when the temperatures is lower than 0C 32F. This causes problems such as sticking of movable parts or operational time lags. 6) 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. ASCTB92E 201206-T Solder and cleaning conditions 1) Please obey the following conditions when soldering automatically. (1) Preheating: Within 120C 248F (solder surface terminal portion) and within 120 seconds (2) Soldering iron: 260C5C 500F41F (solder temperature) and within 6 seconds (soldering time) 2) Do not use ultrasonic cleaning. This will adversely affect relay characteristics. When cleaning the relay, please use alcoholic solvents. Cautions for use 1) For precautions regarding use and explanations of technical terminology, please refer to our web site. (panasonic-electric-works.net/ac) 2) To ensure good operation, please keep the voltage on the coil ends to 5% (at 20C 68F) of the rated coil operation voltage. Also, please be aware that the pick-up voltage and drop-out voltage may change depending on the temperature and conditions of use. 3) Keep the ripple rate of the nominal coil voltage below 5%. 4) The cycle lifetime is defined under the standard test condition specified in the JIS C 5442 standard (temperature 15 to 35C 59 to 95F, 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. (1) When used for AC load-operating and the operating phase is synchronous. Rocking and fusing can easily occur due to contact shifting. (2) Highly frequent load-operating Panasonic Corporation Automation Controls Business Unit When highly frequent 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. * Incorporate an arc-extinguishing circuit. * Lower the operating frequency * Lower the ambient humidity 5) 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. 6) Heat, smoke, and even a fire may occur if the relay is used in conditions outside of the allowable ranges for the coil ratings, contact ratings, operating cycle lifetime, and other specifications. Therefore, do not use the relay if these ratings are exceeded. 7) If the relay has been dropped, the appearance and characteristics should always be checked before use. 8) Incorrect wiring may cause unexpected events or the generation of heat or flames. industrial.panasonic.com/ac/e/
