NOTES:
1) For resistive loads with 300µH maximum inductance. Consult factory for inductive loads.
2) Estimates based on extrapolated data. User is encouraged to confirm performance in application.
3) End of life when dielectric strength between terminals falls below 50 megohms @ 500VDC.
4) The maximum make current is 650A to avoid contact welding.
