(a) The 0.18 mA OFF current of the Q172LX is not satisfied. Connect a resistor as
shown below.

(b) Calculate the connecting resistor value R as indicated below.
To satisfy the 0.18 mA OFF current of the Q172LX, the resistor R to be connected
may be the one where 3.82 mA or more will flow.

Assuming that resistor R is 220
, the power capacity W of resistor R is:
W = (Input voltage)

÷ R = 26.4

÷ 220 = 3.168 [W]
(c) The power capacity of the resistor selected is 3 to 5 times greater than the actual
current consumption. 220 [
], 10 to 15 [W] resistor may therefore be connected to
the terminal in question.
