PF (APF)
2. Specications
Notes: *1. This value can change due to the switching frequency, environmental conditions, and desired reliability level, therefore it is recommended to check this with the
actual load.
*2. Wave is standard shock voltage of
±1.2×50s according to JEC-212-1981
*3. The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. Refer to “Usage, transport and storage
conditions” in NOTES.
*4. For cycle lifetime, refer to “Cautions for use 4)” in NOTES.
