 		 #171590 - built in snubber diode
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I too was confused when I read "non-polarized LED", so I had to look it up to see what you were talking about.

Here is the datasheet for your relay: http://www.findernet.com/comuni/pdf/S46EN.pdf

This relay comes in an option that has two (2) LEDs connected across the coil, each opposite one another, so that one of them will light up when you energize the coil, regardless of the direction of current flow.

So, really, it's not a non-polarized diode (they don't exist!), it's two diodes in opposite directions. The datasheet refers to this as DC-non polarized, not a non-polarized LED...

To answer your question, the diode in the opposite direction will act as a snubber when you de-energize the coil.
