Do not use the G3PB unless all the output terminal screws are Close Mounting
tightened securely, otherwise the terminals may generate ex-
cessive heat and the G3PB may burn.
Be sure to provide enough ventilation to the G3PB and the ra-
diator, otherwise the G3PB may generate excessive heat and
the G3PB may burn or the output element may short-circuit.
Be sure to turn OFF the power supply to the G3PB before wir-
ing, otherwise an electric shock may be received.
Be sure to wire or solder the terminals of the G3PB properly,
otherwise the G3PB may generate excessive heat and burn. 60 mm

If the G3PB is mounted directly to a control panel that is used

as a radiator as well, the control panel must be made of alumi-
num or a steel plate with low thermal resistance.
Do not use any material with high thermal resistance, such as
a wooden plate, otherwise the G3PB may catch on fire or burn.

J BEFORE ACTUAL OPERATION

30 mm
The G3PB in operation may cause an unexpected accident.
Therefore it is necessary to test the G3PB under a variety of
conditions that are possible. As for the characteristics of the Note: Be sure to provide a minimum space of 30 mm horizontally

of the characteristics between G3PB Units.
The ratings in this datasheet are tested values in a
temperature range between 15C and 30C, a relative
humidity range between 25% and 85%, and an atmospheric
pressure range between 88 and 106 kPa. It will be necessary
to provide the above conditions as well as the load conditions
if the user wants to confirm the ratings of actual G3PB Units.

J WIRING J MOUNTING MODELS WITHOUT BUILT-IN

When using crimp terminals, refer to the terminal clearances HEAT SINK
shown below. Before attaching an external radiator or Heat Sink to the Unit, be
sure to apply silicone grease for heat radiation, such as
Output terminal section Toshibas YG6260 or Sinetsu Silicones G746, to the surface
where the radiator or Heat Sink is attached.
Be sure to apply the following torque to secure the Unit and external
radiator or Heat Sink for proper heat radiation.

Do not apply current exceeding the rated current. Otherwise the
temperature of the Unit may rise excessively.
Be sure to prevent ambient temperature rising due to the heat radi-
ation of the Unit. In the case of enclosed mounting, install a fan so
that the interior of the panel can be fully ventilated.
