Specifications
Ratings

Rated load	Non-inductive		Inductive
	Resistive load	Lamp load	Inductive load	Inductive motor load
125 VAC	10 A	10 A	8 A	8 A
250 VAC	10 A	10 A	8 A	8 A

Note:	1.	The non-inductive lamp load has an impulse current ten times the normal current.
	2.	The inductive load has a power factor of 0.4 minimum (AC).
	3.	The motor load has an impulse current 6 times the normal current.
The above ratings were tested under the following conditions:
	1.	Ambient temperature:20 ±2ºC
	2.	Ambient humidity:65% ±5%
	3.	Switching frequency:7 times/min
