6. Auswahlrichtlinien & Kritische Einschränkungen
7. Induktive Lasten (Magnetventile, Schützspulen)

Standard MY2N-GS has no built-in surge suppression. For DC inductive loads, select MY2N-D2-GS with integrated diode. Fit external RC snubber circuits for AC inductive loads, otherwise rapid contact erosion will occur.

2. Overload forbidden

5A is the rated switching current. Avoid switching loads exceeding 6A continuously. Derate for motors and lighting loads with high inrush current.

3. Do not drive coil via high-frequency PWM

Continuous PWM switching causes contact chatter and burnout. Select SSR solid-state relays for high-frequency control scenarios.

4. Never mix AC & DC coil models

Powering DC coil relays with AC voltage leads to overheating and permanent damage; AC coil relays fail to pull in under DC supply.

5. Not applicable for safety circuits

No forced guided contacts. Use dedicated safety relays such as G9SX for emergency stop and safety interlock loops.

7. Typische Anwendungsszenarien

PLC signal expansion, pneumatic solenoid valve control, small contactor driving, control cabinet logic interlock, lighting circuit switching, signal transfer on automated production lines.

10. Built-in freewheeling diode upgrade: MY2N-D2-GS DC24V
11. 4-contact variant within the same series: MY4N-GS DC24V (14-pin socket PYF14A-E required)

Selection Matching Advice

1. Driven by PLC transistor outputs → Priority: MY2N-D2-GS (eingebaute Diode, prevents back EMF damage to PLC)
2. Driven by relay-output PLC → Standard MY2N-GS directly applicable
3. If driving inductive loads such as contactors and solenoids without diode version, fit external surge absorption components.
