method

RoHS compliant

• Contact arrangement: 2 Form A

400 DC, 20 A per 1 Form A
• Contributes to energy saving in
devices thanks to reduced coil hold
voltage
Coil hold voltage can be reduced down to
33% of the nominal coil voltage. This
equals to operating power of
approximately 210 mW.
*Coil hold voltage is the coil voltage after
100 ms following application of the
nominal coil voltage.
• Protective construction: Flux-Resistant type
