PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING CADMIUM-FREE CONTACT TYPE

Models with cadmium-free contacts have been introduced in order to reduce environmentally harmful substances. (“F” is affixed to the end of the part number.) We ask customers who are currently using products with cadmium-containing contacts (no “F” at the end of the part number) to please make the switch to models with cadmium-free contacts. When switching, operating life may differ depending on the load. Please be sure to verify this by conducting an evaluation using actual equipment.
