Note: 1. The rated current and coil resistance are measured at a coil temperature of 23 C with a tolerance of 10%.
2. The operating characteristics are measured at a coil temperature of 23 C.
3. The maximum voltage is the highest voltage that can be imposed on the relay coil instantaneously. It is not the maximum voltage that can
be applied continuously.
