Max. 350C 662F (solder temperature),
within 3 seconds (soldering time)
The effect on the relay depends on the
actual PC board used. Please verify the
PC board to be used.
2. Usage, transport and storage
conditions
1) Ambient temperature, humidity, and
atmospheric pressure during usage,
transport, and storage of the relay:
(1) Temperature: –40 to +85C –40 to
+185F (Standard type)
–40 to +125C –40 to +257F (High heat-
resistant type)
(2) Humidity: 2 to 85% RH (Avoid
freezing and condensation.)
(3) Atmospheric pressure: 86 to 106 kPa
The humidity range varies with the
temperature. Use within the range
indicated in the graph below.
