if you want to test a switch life time, what is a reasonable switching frequency to use that wont accelerate wear? |

Click here and scroll down to the section called -> Maximum Switching Capacity Also sample few Omron's relay datasheets that has comparable current capacity as your switch to get reasonable comparison or ball park number, as most include the details of relay contact reliability specification and the statistics. |
