The maximum switching frequency of the W172DIP-5 relay is 20 Hz. Exceeding this frequency may lead to reduced relay life or failure.
The W172DIP-5 relay is rated for operation up to 85°C (185°F). Exceeding this temperature may affect relay performance or lifespan.
The W172DIP-5 relay requires a minimum load of 10mA to ensure proper operation. Operating with a load below this minimum may cause relay malfunction.
Yes, the W172DIP-5 relay can be used with inductive loads, but it's recommended to add a snubber circuit or a flyback diode to protect the relay from back-EMF.
The recommended derating curve for the W172DIP-5 relay is to reduce the maximum current rating by 1.5% for every 1°C above 40°C (104°F).
