Correct Use
●Mounting
When mounting two or more relays side by side, provide a minimum space of 3 mm between relays.
●Terminals
The terminals fit FASTON receptacle 250 and are suitable for positive-lock mounting.
Use only Faston terminals with the specified numbers.
Select leads for connecting Faston receptacles with wire diameters that are within the allowable range for the load current.
Do not apply excessive force to the terminals when mounting or dismounting the Faston receptacle.
Insert and remove terminals carefully one at a time. Do not insert terminals at an angle, or insert/remove multiple terminals at the same time.
Refer to the following table for recommendations of connectors made by OMRON.

●Other Precautions
This Relay is suitable for power load switching of air-conditioning compressors and power supplies, etc. Do not use the G4A to switch micro loads less than 100 mA, such as in signal applications.
