Relay electrical service life
The typical performance data estimated from sample tests is shown below. Actual
performance may vary depending upon your specific application. An external protection
circuit that is adapted to the load will enhance the service life of the contacts. N.C. contacts
have a typical service life of about one-third that of the N.O. contact under inductive and
lamp load conditions.
An external protective circuit will increase the service life of the contacts.
