  • Typical specifications describe the performance met by a majority of models.
  • Nominal specifications describe an attribute that is based on design, conformance testing, or supplemental testing.

Specifications are Warranted unless otherwise noted.

Conditions

Specifications are valid at 23 °C unless otherwise noted.

All voltages are specified in DC, ACpk, or a combination unless otherwise specified.

Input

All input specifications are DC, ACrms, or a combination unless otherwise specified.

Caution This module is rated for Measurement Category I and is intended to carry signal voltages no greater than 150 V. This module can withstand up to 800 V impulse voltage. Do not use this module for connections to signals or for measurements within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.
Caution Do not connect to MAINs supply circuits (e.g., wall outlets) of 115 or 230 VAC. Refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility document for more information about Measurement Categories.
Caution When hazardous voltages (>42.4 Vpk/60 VDC) are present on any relay terminal, safety low-voltage (≤42.4 Vpk/60 VDC) cannot be connected to any other relay terminal.

Caution The maximum switching power is limited by the maximum switching current, the maximum voltage, and must not exceed 30 W, 37.5 VA.
Note Switching inductive loads (for example, motors and solenoids) can produce high voltage transients in excess of the module’s rated voltage. Without additional protection, these transients can interfere with module operation and impact relay life. For more information about transient suppression, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code induct.

DC path resistance[1]1 Path resistance is a combination of relay contact resistance and trace resistance and is measured as the combined resistance of the high and low signal paths from one row to one column. Contact resistance typically remains low for the life of a relay. At the end of relay life, the contact resistance rises rapidly above 1 Ω.
