A contact life curve

Note 1 ： When used in applications having a high switching frequency, the life of the relays is a problem. For this reason, we recommend studying use of triac output terminal module.

Note 2 ： The relay life curves show performance values and are not guaranteed values. For this reason, consider providing sufficient margin for relay life curves.

Note 3

：

The life of relays changes considerably by the type of load and the characteristics of its inrush current. In particular, inrush current causes fusing of contacts. For this reason, take rush current as well as steady current into consideration.

（ a ） Inductive load

When an inductive load such as a magnetic switch or solenoid is shut off, a high electromotive force occurs between contacts to generate arc discharge. In particular, attention is required as life is shortened when the power factor is small. Also, when power is turned ON, fusing of contacts must be taken into consideration as a rush current of 5 to 15 times the regular current flows.

（ b ） Lamp load

Fusing of contacts must be taken into consideration in lamp circuits as a rush current of 10 to 15 times the regular current flows.

（ c

）

Capacitive load

When the load circuit contains a capacitor, an inrush current of 20 to 40 times the regular current sometimes flows, so fusing of contacts must be taken into consideration. Attention is also required to the wire capacitance when routing wiring a long distance.
