What is the expected mechanical life of the relay contacts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMechanical life depends heavily on the load type (inductive vs. resistive). While the contacts are rated for millions of cycles, driving high-inductance loads like large solenoids without external surge suppression will reduce contact longevity.
