Hi Randy, The datasheet does not break it down completely but experince of breaking down their numbers, deduction (comparing catalog part numbers for low level and low thermal relays) and common sense indicates that the TLT indicates low thermal EMF. They don't specify levels, but with this part number as a starting point some websearching my get the info, or contact OMRON direct.
