Question

What should I be aware of when operating MY2 General-purpose Relays with a transistor?

Answer



When Relays turn OFF, counter electromotive force (surge) is generated. Counter electromotive force causes transistors to deteriorate or breakdown. Use Relays with a built-in diode for surge suppression.

Note:

1.Make sure that the polarity is correct.

2.The reset time will be longer but it will still be within 20 ms.

3.Diode characteristics:
Withstand inverse voltage: 1,000 V
Forward current: 1 A
