Inductive Loads
When connecting an inductive load to an input, connect a surge protector or
diode in parallel with the load.
The surge protector’s components should have the following ratings:
OUT

CPM2A

(Sourcing)
The diode should satisfy the following requirements:
Peak reverse-breakdown voltage must be at least 3 times the load voltage.
Average rectified current must be 1 A.
Inrush Current Considerations
When switching a load with a high inrush current in the CPM2A relay output or
transistor output model, such as an incandescent lamp, suppress the inrush cur-
rent as shown below.

Providing a dark current of
approx. one-third of the rated

lamp
Countermeasure 2
Providing a limiting resistor

Fuse Insertion
The CPM2A with transistor output may burn if the load is short-circuited, there-
fore, insert a protective fuse in series to the load.
Crimp Terminals
Caution Always use crimp terminals for the CPM2A’s I/O lines or use solid wire (instead
of a stranded wire). Do not connect bare stranded wires directly to terminals.
Stray wire strands can short-circuit and cause a fire.
Use M3 crimp terminals and tighten the terminal screws to a torque of 0.5 N S m.
6.2 mm max. 6.2 mm max.
Fork terminal Ring terminal
The recommended wire size for solid wires is 0.4 to 1.2 mm (AWG26 to AWG18).
