Protective circuit for inductive loads
With an inductive load, a protective circuit should be installed in parallel with the load.
When switching DC inductive loads with relay output type, be sure to connect a diode
across the ends of the load.

Precautions when using capacitive loads
When connecting loads with large in-rush currents, to minimize their effect, connect a
protection circuit as shown below.

About the short-circuit protective circuit
To prevent the output circuit from being damaged by a short-circuit or other electrical
problems on the output side, a transistor with short-circuit protection is provided.
