Calculate the maximum current as

Example 1. If eight channels carry 5 A each, the total current is 

 

8(5 A)

2

 

=

 200 A

2

. As shown in Figure 11, the module can output 

this total current with an ambient temperature up to 60 °C.

Example 2. If two channels carry 5 A each and six channels carry 
2 A each, the total current is 2(5 A)

2

 

+

 6(2 A)

2

 

=

 74 A

2

. The module 

can output this total current with an ambient temperature up to 
70 °C.

Initial path resistance ........................ <50 m

Note 

DC path resistance typically remains low for 

the life of the relay. At the end of relay life, the path 
resistance rises rapidly above 1 

Ω 

. Load ratings apply 

to relays used within the specification before the end of 
relay life.
