Note:
1. Some models in the LY1 and LY2 Series have an upper
temperature limit of +40°C. This limitation is due to the
diode junction temperature and the elements used.
2. Refer to the ambient temperature and contact carry
current characteristics data on page 5 to 7 for
Single-pole and double-pole models
(standard models and bifurcated contact
models)

with built-in diodes, and models with built-in CR
circuits),

3. When you apply a minimum of 10 A of current to an LY1
when it is used in combination with a PTF08A, PTF08A-
E, or PT08, connect each of the following terminal pairs:
(1) to (2), (3) to (4), and (5) to (6).

*1. If the carry current is 4 A or less, the usable ambient temperature
range is −25 to 70° C.
*2. If the flowing current is 4 A or less, the usable ambient
temperature range is -25 to 55° C.
