### Limitations and Considerations
* The DRY5 Series is not suitable for use in applications with high magnetic fields present. High current models are recommended for such applications.
* Some sources indicate the Brentek DRY5 is discontinued by the manufacturer, though support and availability may exist through third-party suppliers.
* Availability of documentation for specific electrical parameters (e.g., isolation voltage, maximum switching voltage) is limited.
* Warranty information from the original manufacturer may not apply if the product is discontinued. Third-party suppliers may offer their own warranties.
