Technical support:

Refer to inside back cover.

Mechanical Data

Termination: 0.250" quick connect and printed circuit terminals.

Enclosures:

Dust Cover: Protects relay from dust. For use in passenger

compartment or enclosures.

Shrouded Dust Cover: Protects relay and relay connector (order

separately) from dust and splash.

Weatherproof Cover: Mates with a connector (order separately) to seal

relay from salt spray etc. Recommended for under

hood application.

Cover Retention: Dust cover will withstand a 33.7 pound (150 Newton)

force (axially applied) without detachment. Ultrasonic

cover: 50 pound (220 Newton).

Weight: 31g (1.1 oz.) approximately (dust cover model).

Contact Data

Arrangements: 1 Form A (SPST-NO) and 1 Form C (SPDT).

Material: AgNi 0.15 (consult factory for other contact materials).

Max. Switching Rate: 20 operations per second with no contact load.

6 operations per minute for rated life at rated load.

Max. Load Current (@ 14VDC Load Voltage):

40 Amp Relay

With PC Board or

Quick Connect Terminals

for Automotive Applications

Features

• 40A continuous contact rating @ 85°C.

• 1 Form A and 1 Form C arrangements.

• Plug-in or PC board terminals.

• Optional mounting bracket.

• Various enclosure options.

Conditions

All parametric, environmental and life tests are performed according to EIA

Standard RS-407-A at standard test conditions (23°C Ambient, 20-50% RH,

29.5 ± 1.0" Hg.) unless otherwise noted.

Coil Data

Voltage: 6, 12 and 24VDC.

Resistance: See Coil Data table.

Nom. Power: (@ 23°C coil temp. and rated coil voltage.):

1.6W, unsuppressed.

1.81W, with 680 ohm resistor.

Thermal Resistance: 50°C per actual coil watt in still air with no contact

load current.

Operate Data

Must Operate and Must Release Voltage: See Coil Data table.

Initial Operate Time: 7 milliseconds, typical, with rated coil voltage

applied.

Initial Release Time: 2 milliseconds, typical, with zero volts applied (for

unsuppressed relays after having been energized at

rated coil voltage.)

Notes

(1) See Figure 1.

(2) Inrush current for lamp load.

(3) Allowable overdrive is rated at ambient temperature for 23°C or 85°C as

stated with no load current flowing through the relay contacts and

minimum coil resistance. Also see Figure 2 for maximum ambient

temperature versus applied coil voltage.

(4) See Figure 2.

(5) Current and times are compatible with circuit protection by a typical

automotive circuit breaker. Relay will make, carry and break the

specified current.

Initial Dielectric Strength

Between Contacts and Coil: 500V rms.

Environmental Data

Temperature Range: Storage: -40°C to +155°C.

Shock: 20g, 11 milliseconds, half sine wave pulse.

Vibration: (For NC contacts, NO contacts are significantly higher.)

10-40 Hz., 1.27mm double amplitude.

40-70 Hz., 5 g's constant.

70-100 Hz., 0.5mm double amplitude.

100-500 Hz., 10 g's constant.

Min. Recommended Current: 1 amp @ 12VDC.

Initial Voltage Drop: 200 millivolts, maximum, for normally open contacts

@ 40 amp contact load.

250 millivolts, maximum, for normally closed

contacts @ 30 amp contact load.

Expected Life: 10 million operations, mechanical; 100,000 operations at 40

amps, 14VDC, resistive load on normally open contact.

Coil Data

Abnormal Operation

Overload Current: Consult factory.

24V Jump Start: 24VDC for 5 minutes conducting rated contact current

@ 23°C.

Drop Test: Capable of meeting specifications after a 3.28 foot (1.0 meter)

drop onto concrete.

Flammability: UL94V-0 external; UL94-HB or better, internal parts (meets

FMVSS 302).
