Getting Started

When integrating this relay, ensure the 40mA coil current is driven by a transistor or relay driver with a flyback diode to protect against inductive spikes. Maintain proper creepage and clearance distances on the PCB layout between the low-voltage coil traces and the high-voltage load traces.
