EJ (AEJ)
2. Specifications
Notes: *1 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.
*3 Condition: Nominal switching 100cycles, each cut off 800A
*4 When using a surge absorbing element for the relay coil drive circuit, please use with a surge absorbing element with a clamp voltage of 1.5 to 2.0 times the rated 
operating voltage. When the coil is connected in parallel with a diode, resistor or capacitor, the release time will delay which might lead to degradation in shutoff 
performance and electrical life.Contact terminals have polarity; therefore, please obey the wiring diagram when connecting contacts.The electrical load 
performance value applies when a varistor is connected in parallel with the coil.
