Notes
1)  Contact rating-Product of the switching voltage and current should never exceed the wattage rating.
Contact Hamlin for additional load/life information.
2)  Operate (inc. bounce) /Release Time-per EIA/NARM RS421A, diode suppressed coil.
3)  Pull in Range-Contact Hamlin for tolerances available within this range.
4)  Rating Sensitivity-The value at which contact ratings and operating characteristics are determined. Derating
may be required below this value.
5)  Storage Temperature-Long time exposure at elevated temperature may degrade solderability of the leads.
