1. Part numbers without protection 
elements
1) 12 V models
When connecting a coil surge protection 
circuit to these relays, we recommend a 
Zener diode with a Zener voltage of 24 V 
or higher, or a resistor (680
Ω to 1,000Ω).
When a diode is connected to the coil in 
parallel, the release time will slow down 
and working life may shorten. Before use, 
please check the circuit and verify that 
the diode is not connected in parallel to 
the coil drive circuit.
2) 24 V models
When connecting a coil surge protection 
circuit to these relays, we recommend a 
Zener diode with a Zener voltage of 48 V 
or higher, or a resistor (2,800
Ω to 
4,700
Ω).
When a diode is connected to the coil in 
parallel, the release time will slow down 
and working life may shorten. Before use, 
please check the circuit and verify that 
the diode is not connected in parallel to 
the coil drive circuit.
2. Part numbers with diodes
These relays use a diode in the coil surge 
protection element. Therefore, the 
release time is slower and the working 
life might be shorter compared to part 
numbers without protection elements and 
part numbers with resistors.
Be sure to use only after evaluating 
under actual load conditions.
3. Part numbers with resistors
This part number employs a resistor in 
the coil surge protection circuit; therefore, 
an external surge protection element is 
not required. In particular, when a diode 
is connected in parallel with a coil, the 
revert time becomes slower which could 
adversely affect working life. Please 
check the circuit and make sure that a 
diode is not connected in parallel with the 
coil drive circuit.
