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

5. Continuous 
current 
Coil heating due to continuous current applying to coil for extensive time periods will cause deterioration 
in insulation performance for coil. 
For such circuit types, please consider the fail-safe circuit design in case of contact failure or breaking of 
coil.  
1. Connection method 
Collector connection method is the most recommendable when the relay is driven by means of a 
transistor.   
To avoid troubles in use, the rated voltage should always be impressed on the relay in the ON time and 
zero voltage be done in the OFF time.

1. Relay drive 
by means of 
a transistor 
2. Countermeasures for surge voltage of relay control transistor 
If the coil current is suddenly interrupted, a sudden high voltage pulse is developed in the coil. If this 
voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the transistor, the transistor will be degraded, and this will 
lead to damage. It is absolutely necessary to connect a diode in the circuit as a means of preventing 
damage from the counter emf. In case of DC relay, connection of Diode is effective. As suitable ratings 
for this diode, the average rectified current should be equivalent to the coil current, and the reverse 
blocking voltage should be about 3 times the value of the power source voltage. Connection of a diode is 
an excellent way to prevent voltage surges, but there will be a considerable time delay when the relay is 
open. If you need to reduce this time delay you can connect between the transistor's Collector and 
Emitter with a Zener diode that will make the Zener voltage somewhat higher than the supply voltage. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Take care of Area of Safe Operation (ASO).   
(Good) Collector connection
This is the most common 
connection, which operation is 
usually stable with. 
(Care) Emitter connection 
When the circumstances make 
the use of this connection 
unavoidable, the voltage may not 
be completely impressed on the 
relay and the transistor would not 
conduct completely. 
(Care) Parallel connection 
As the power consumption of 
the entire circuit increases, 
the relay voltage should be 
considered.
