When it may not be suitable

This relay is not intended for applications requiring high-frequency switching or environments with extreme vibration levels that exceed standard industrial specifications. It is also not suitable for direct high-voltage DC switching applications unless specifically rated for such loads.

Key specifications

• Configuration: 1-pole (SPDT)
• Switching current: 16A
• Coil voltage: 230V AC
• Mounting type: PCB

How to use

The relay should be soldered directly onto a compatible printed circuit board. Ensure that the PCB traces are designed to handle the 16A current load to prevent overheating. Verify that the control signal matches the 230V AC coil voltage requirement before applying power. Proper heat dissipation should be considered if the relay is operated at maximum capacity for extended periods.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the coil voltage matches your control circuit requirements.
• Ensure the PCB layout supports the pin configuration of the relay.
• Check that the 16A switching capacity is sufficient for your specific load.
• Confirm the operating environment is within the specified temperature range.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the power supply is disconnected before installing or replacing the relay to prevent electrical shock. Use appropriate soldering techniques to avoid damaging the relay terminals or the PCB.
