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