overstressing 2569 relay switches

[FaizNaq]

Can someone please tell me if passing 1A current through the PXI 2569 relay switches overstress these switches? Spec say that 1A is the maximum carry current, but does it mean that this value of the current cause any overstress? Also, if we have these switches in a circuit that is powered by a power supply, supplying 84V and 1A. In this scenario, will the switches be overstressed? I will really apperciate the help!

Hi,

I cannot say anything about the PXI 2569, but with relays you should also look at the maximum switching power (84W in your case) and the electrical endurance at that power rate. It can go down from 1.000.000 switches to 10.000.

You can apply the maximum power but it depends on your requirements and your application. e.g. is the relay used once a day or every minute.
