Reliable Electrical Switching for Control and Distribution Systems

Modular installation relays such as the Finder 22.21.8.024.4000 allow electrical loads to be switched using a separate control circuit. When the 24 V AC coil is energised, the internal electromechanical mechanism closes the normally open contact, allowing current to flow to the connected load. When the coil supply is removed, the relay automatically returns to its normal open state, disconnecting the load.

The Finder Series 22 is designed for electrical installers, panel builders and automation engineers requiring reliable switching within compact electrical enclosures. Its 20 A contact rating, silver tin oxide contacts and convenient DIN rail mounting make it suitable for building services, lighting control and electrical distribution applications. The integrated test button also assists with installation checks and maintenance, while the modular construction simplifies integration alongside other DIN rail electrical components.

Typical Applications

  • Residential and commercial electrical distribution boards.
  • Remote switching of lighting circuits.
  • Building automation and electrical control systems.
  • Electrical heating control within rated load limits.
  • Ventilation and building services equipment.
  • Industrial control panels and electrical cabinets.
  • Low-voltage control circuits operating higher-voltage loads.
  • Electrical installation and panel-building projects.
  • Automated lighting and facility management systems.
  • General-purpose electrical load switching.
