Max. switching characteristics (acc. to DIN EN 60947-5-1 table C2):
AC 15:
230V/3A
DC13:
24V/4A
UL508:
C300
Maximal contact load at
AC 1 with 230V:
2 contacts each with 6A
Gold contacts with 4-6µm layer thickness
When high voltages and currents are switched, the layer of gold is destroyed already after a few switching operations.
Once the gold layer is damaged due to the switching of high loads, such a contact must not be used any more for signal and control current circuits.
Safe contact making is then only possible at high loads with the formation of sparks.

Excitation voltage range
