It might be defective. I had an SMA relay like that. As soon as the
case was grounded it would short out!

I've had a pair of 1P3T SMA latching relays in my relay box for a while,

have one terminal marked +28V(COM) and three terminals marked -1, -2, and
-3. For some reason, the +28(COM) terminal is actually at RF ground, which
I realized when I connected system ground to the chassis! I see in various
catalogs that these relays are offered with negative or positive common ..
how the heck can you actually use a positive common relay without having
the chassis at +28?
