SAFETY STRUCTURE OF SF RELAYS
This SF relay design ensures that
subsequent operations shut down and can
automatically return to a safe state when
the SF relay suffers overloading and other
circuit abnormalities (unforeseen

(4a4b type)
The two contacts “a” and “b” are coupled with the same
card. The operation of each contact is regulated by the
movement of the other contact.
None of four contacts are held in position by the armature.
Even though one of the external N.O. contacts has
welded, the other three contacts have returned owing to
the de-energizing of the coil.
The use of high-efficiency magnetically polarized circuits
and 4-gap balanced armature structure means that
springs are not required.

scenario, relay breakdown (coil rupture,
faulty operation, faulty return, and fatigue
and breakage of the operating spring and
return spring), and even in the event of
end of life.
Even when one contact is welded closed,
the other maintains a gap of greater than
0.5 mm
In the diagram on the left, the lower
contact "b" have welded but the upper con-
tact "a" maintain at a gap of greater than
0.5 mm
Subsequent contact movement is
suspended and the weld can be detected
Enables design of safety circuits that allow
weld detection and return at an early stage.
As shown at the top right of the diagram on

Each of the other contacts returns to N.O.
because the coil is no longer energized.
Prevents shorting and fusing of springs and
spring failure owing to short-circuit current.
As shown on the diagram on the left, even
if the operating springs numbered 1 and 2
there is no shorting between "a" and "b"
contacts.
Does away with return faults due to fatigue
or breakage of the return spring, especially
stoppage during contact states.
Independent COM enables differing pole
circuit configurations. This makes it
possible to design various kinds of control
circuits and safety circuits.
