6K-ERB08 User's Guide Functional Details Screw terminal connections Connect external devices to the relay contacts using the 6K-ERB08 screw terminals. Each relay has a common (C), normally closed (NC), and normally open (NO) contact. Figure 3-3 shows the screw terminals on a typical relay channel.
6K-ERB08 User's Guide Functional Details Relay contact protection circuit for inductive loads When you connect an inductive load to a relay, energy stored in the inductive load can induce a large voltage surge when you switch the relay. This voltage can severely damage the relay contacts. To limit the voltage surge across the inductive load, install a kickback diode across the DC load.
