NOTES
1. When installing the relay, always 
use washers to prevent the screws 
from loosening.
Tighten each screw within the rated 
range given below. Exceeding the 
maximum torque may result in breakage. 
Mounting is possible in either direction.
• M5 screw (60A, 80A and 300A main 
unit mounting section): 3 to 4N·m
• M3.5 screw (60A input terminal): 
0.84 to 1.2 N·m
• M4 screw (10A PC board type main unit 
mounting section): 0.98 to 1.2N·m
(10A TM type main unit mounting 
section): 1.8 to 2.7N·m
Recommended securing torque on load 
side terminals
• 60A/M5 screw: 2.5 to 3.6 N·m
• 80A/M5 bolt: 3.5 to 6.5 N·m
• 300A/M8 bolt: 10 to 12 N·m
2. The contacts of the relay are 
polarized. Please follow instructions 
in the connection schematic when 
connecting the contacts.
We recommend installing a surge 
protector varistor (ZNR) for the 10A , 60A 
and 80A types. Avoid using a diode as 
this may result in decreased cut-off 
capability.
3. Do not use a relay if it has been 
dropped.
4. Avoid mounting the relay in strong 
magnetic fields (near a transformer or 
magnet) or close to an object that 
radiates heat.
5. Electrical life
This relay is a high-voltage direct-current 
switch. In its final breakdown mode, it 
may lose the ability to provide the proper 
cut-off. Therefore, do not exceed the 
indicated switching capacity and life. 
(Please treat the relay as a product with 
limited life and replace it when 
necessary.)
In the event that the relay loses cut-off 
ability, there is a possibility that burning 
may spread to surrounding parts, so 
configure the layout so that the power is 
turned off within one second and from the 
point of view of safety, consider installing 
a failsafe circuit in the device.
Also, in order to avoid increased contact 
resistance, do not operate when there is 
no switching load.
6. Permeation life of internal gas
This relay uses a hermetically encased 
contact (capsule contact) with gas inside. 
The gas has a permeation life that is 
affected by the temperature inside the 
capsule contact (ambient temperature + 
temperature rise due to flow of electrical 
current). For this reason, make sure the 
ambient operating temperature is 
between –40 and 80
°C 
–40 and +176
°F
and the ambient storage temperature is 
between –40 and 85
°C 
–40 and +185
°F
.
7. Do not disassemble the relay.
Please note that disassembling the 
relay will invalidate the warranty.
8. 
If the power is turned off and then 
immediately on after applying the rated 
voltage (current) continuously to the 
relay’s coil and contact, the resistance of 
the coil will increase due to a rise in the 
coil temperature. This causes the pick-up 
voltage to rise, and possibly exceed the 
rated pick-up voltage. In these 
circumstances, take measures such as 
reducing the load current, limiting the 
duration of current flow, and applying a 
coil voltage higher than the rated 
operating voltage.
9. Coil operating power
Pure DC current should be applied to the 
coil. The wave form should be 
rectangular. If it includes ripple, the ripple 
factor should be less than 5%. However, 
check the actual circuit since the 
characteristics may be slightly different.
The power supply waveform supplied to 
the coil should be rectangular.
10. Don’t exceed maximum coil 
voltage. Exceeding maximum 
allowable coil voltage on continuous 
basis will damage the relay and could 
case failure.
11. Ensure that the rated contacts 
voltage and current values are not 
exceeded.
12. The rated control capacity and life 
are given as general guides.
The contact life is heavily influenced by 
the type of load and other related 
conditions, and these factors must be 
kept in consideration when using the 
relay.
13. Main contact ratings in the ratings 
apply to when there is a resistive load. 
If you are using an inductive load (L 
load) such that L/R > 1 ms, add surge 
protection in parallel with the 
inductive load. If this is not done, the 
electrical life will decrease and cut-off 
failure may occur.
14. Be careful that foreign matter and 
oils and fats kind don’t stick to the 
main terminal parts because it is likely 
to cause terminal parts to give off 
unusual heat. Also, please use the 
following materials for connected 
harnesses and bus bars.
• 10A TM type: Faston terminal for #187 
tab terminal, 0.5 mm board thickness
(JIS C2809-1992 compliant, flat type 
connection terminal)
Harness nominal cross-sectional area
Load input terminal: min. 2.0 mm
2
Coil input terminal: min. 0.3 mm
2
• 60A and 80A types: Min. 14mm
2
 
nominal cross sectional area
• 300A type: Min. 100mm
2
 nominal cross 
sectional area
15. Use 40N to 70N of force as a guide 
to fasten the terminal connected to the 
10A TM type. Please use caution when 
inserting or removing the terminal as 
the relay tab terminal may cause 
injuly.
16. Place the PC board mount type 
(10A PC board type) securely by hand 
soldering after attaching it using M4 
screw. Don’t submerge assembled 
board in cleaning solvent or water. 
Also, be careful not let flux overflow 
up from the PC board or adhere to the 
base of the relay.
Recommended hand soldering 
conditions
• Soldering iron: 30 to 60 W
• Tip temperature: 400
°C 
752
°F
• Solder time: within approx. 5 seconds
17. Make sure the power is turned off 
when wiring.
18. Incorrect wiring may cause 
unexpected malfunction and failure.
19. Regarding AC cutoff, although 
there is no contact polarity, generally 
it is thought that the electrical life will 
shorten due to cutoff in the reverse 
direction, compared to DC cutoff. 
Confirm electrical life using actual 
load. In the case of DC cut-off, please 
note the contact polarity.
20. Lead-free solder (tin, silver and 
copper) is used as pre-solder for the 
terminals of the PC board mount type 
(10A PC board type).
21. The warranted tensile strength of 
the female connector lead wire used 
for connection that comes with the 
80A and 300A connector type when 
attaching it to the relay body is 100N. 
Avoid excessive tension as this is a 
cause of broken wires and damage. 
Also, insert the female connector 
deeply and make sure the connection 
is secure.
