Import Tips

• Verify contact rating documentation (under 10A) and voltage specs (≤60V) to confirm 8536.41.00.30 classification; automotive-specific relays may require ECE compliance

• Include test reports showing relay performance under automotive vibration and temperature standards; declare exact coil and contact ratings accurately
