Maximum Amperes: 0.5A
Maximum Volts: 120 VAC/dc
Low Voltage Switching: Conical shaped
points or “reliability nibs” improve
performance in dry circuit, corrosive,
fine dust and other contaminated
atmospheres. Under normal
environmental conditions, the minimum
operational voltage is 5V and the
minimum operational current is
1 mA, AC/DC.
Contact Operation: Slow make and
break. All normally closed contacts have
positive opening operation, i.e.,
normally closed contacts are forced
open in the event of contact weld or
spring breakage.
LIGHT UNITS
Transformers: will withstand short
circuit for 1 hour per IEC 60947-5-1
Bulbs—average life:
Transformer Type: 20,000 hrs.
Resistor/Direct Voltage Type: 2500 hrs
minimum @ rated V
LED: 60,000 to 100,000 hrs
TERMINALS
Marking: NC-NO on the contact block
to meet the NEMA requirements. Dual
marking system 1 to 2 for normally
closed, 3 to 4 for normally open to
meet BS5472 (Cenelec EN50 005).
Clamps: Terminals are saddle clamp
type for 1 x 22 AWG (0.34 mm2) to
2 x 14 AWG (2.5 mm2) conductors.
