MK23-66-B-2 - STANDEXMEDER

MK23-66-B-2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended mounting orientation for the MK23-66-B-2?
  The relay can be mounted in any orientation, but it's recommended to mount it with the terminals facing downwards to prevent moisture accumulation.
• How do I ensure the relay operates reliably in high-vibration environments?
  Use a relay socket or a mounting method that provides mechanical support and strain relief to the relay's leads. Also, ensure the relay is properly secured to the PCB or chassis.
• What is the maximum allowable voltage drop across the relay's coil?
  The maximum allowable voltage drop is 20% of the nominal coil voltage. Exceeding this may affect the relay's performance and lifespan.
• Can I use the MK23-66-B-2 in a high-temperature environment?
  The relay is rated for operation up to 85°C (185°F). However, derating the relay's current handling and switching frequency may be necessary for reliable operation above 70°C (158°F).
• How do I prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) from affecting the relay's operation?
  Use shielding, filtering, or twisting of the relay's leads to minimize EMI. Also, ensure the relay is placed at a safe distance from high-frequency sources.
