Note: 1. The rated current and coil resistance are measured at a coil temperature of 23°C with tolerances of +15%/
              -20% for the AC rated current and ±15% for the DC coil resistance.
           2. The AC coil resistance and inductance values are reference values only. (at 60 Hz).
           3. Operating characteristics were measured at a coil temperature of 23°C.
           4. The maximum voltage capacity was measured at an ambient temperature of 23°C.
*1. There is variation between products, but actual values are 80% max.
       To ensure operation, apply at least 80% of the rated value (at a coil temperature of +23° C).
*2. The actual values are 30% min. for AC and 10% min. for DC. To ensure release, use a value that is lower than the
       specified value.
