Relays 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.

CAUTION: The use of any coil voltage less than the rated coil voltage will compromise the operation of the relay.

CAUTION: Transfer relay contacts are not to be used to ground load in one position and to 115-volt terminal in other position. Transfer relay contacts are not to be used to transfer load between phases, nor between unsynchronized ac sources.

CAUTION: When latching relays are installed in equipment, the latch and reset coils should not be pulsed simultaneously. Coils should not be pulsed with less than the rated coil voltage and the pulse width should be a minimum of three times the specified operate time of the relay. If these conditions are not followed, it is possible for the relay to be in the magnetically neutral position.
