AQY210LS - Panasonic

AQY210LS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for the AQY210LS?
  Panasonic recommends a minimum of 1.5 mm clearance around the relay and a thermal via under the relay to dissipate heat. A ground plane under the relay is also recommended to reduce electromagnetic interference.
• How do I ensure the AQY210LS operates reliably in high-temperature environments?
  Ensure good airflow around the relay, use a heat sink if possible, and consider derating the relay's current capacity at high temperatures. Also, follow Panasonic's recommended storage and operating temperature ranges.
• What is the maximum allowable voltage drop across the AQY210LS?
  The maximum allowable voltage drop is 1.5V. Exceeding this may reduce the relay's lifespan or cause it to malfunction.
• Can I use the AQY210LS in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the AQY210LS is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G (10-2000 Hz). However, ensure proper mounting and secure the relay to the PCB to prevent damage or malfunction.
• How do I prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) when using the AQY210LS?
  Use a shielded cable for the coil connections, keep the relay away from sensitive circuits, and consider adding a common-mode choke or ferrite bead to the coil circuit to reduce EMI.
