To achieve maximum ratings, there must be a minimum
spacing of 0.8 in (22 mm) between the devices in free air and
a minimum free spacing of 3.15 in (80 mm) at the top and at
the bottom. (See fig. 3)

General Notes
(A) See compatible accessories in corresponding datasheet.
(B) For optimal thermal performance, contactor vents should be aligned vertically to maximize natural convection
airflow.
(C) To achieve maximum ratings, there must be a minimum spacing of 0.8 in (22 mm) between the devices in free air
and a minimum free spacing of 3.15 in (80 mm) at the top and at the bottom. (see fig. 3)
(D) Normally Open (13 - 14) for DRC3xxxx411, DRC3xxxx420, DRC3xxxx433 and DRC3xxxx440 models.
(E) Normally Open (23-24) for DRC3xxxx420 and DRC3xxxx440 models, Normally Closed (21-22) for DRC3xxxx411 and
