FEATURES
1. High contact reliability over a long
life has been made possible for low
level loads.
Using a low le vel load (1 mV 10
µ
A to 10 V
10 mA) 10
7
operations were achieved with
a static contact resistance of Max. 100
m
Ω
(voltage drop of 20 mV, 1 mA, 1 kHz)
and a dynamic contact resistance of Max.
1
Ω
(Measurement delay 10 ms, voltage
drop of 20 mV, 1 mA, 1 kHz).
2. High sensitibity of 50 mW
By using the highly efficient polar magnet-
ic circuit "seesaw balance armature
mechanism", a rated pow er consumption
of 50 mW (f or single side stable type) has
been achieved.
3. Low thermal electromotive force
Reducing the heat from the coil enables a
thermal electromotive force of 3
µ
V or
less.

This value can change due to the s witching frequency , environmental conditions,
and desired reliability lev el, therefore it is recommended to chec k this with the ac-
