MIL-PRF-39016G, PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION: RELAYS, ELECTROMAGNETIC, ESTABLISHED RELIABILITY, GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR (24-AUG-2014)

MIL-PRF-39016G, PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION: RELAYS, ELECTROMAGNETIC, ESTABLISHED RELIABILITY, GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR (24-AUG-2014)., This specification covers the general requirements for electromagnetic, hermetically sealed relays for use in electronic and communication-type equipment (see 6.1). These relays are designed to operate over the full range from low level to power switching with contact ratings up to 5 amperes alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc). The failure rate level is established at a confidence level of 90 percent for qualification and 60 percent for maintenance of qualification based on 100,000 cycles at +125 Degrees C under the rated load conditions specified herein. CAUTION: The use of any coil voltage less than the rated coil voltage will compromise the operation of the relay. CAUTION: Pick-up, hold, and dropout voltages are for test purposes only and are not to be used as design criteria. FRelays conforming to this specification are intended for use in electronic and communication equipment. Their principal areas of application are for aircraft, missiles, spacecraft and ground-support electronic and communication equipment. This does not preclude the use of these relays in other military applications.
