Finder 22.72.0.230.1310 – 22 Series Modular contactors

Why Choose the Finder 22.72.0.230.1310 Modular Contactor?

The Finder 22.72.0.230.1310 is a compact 32 A two-pole modular installation contactor designed for reliable electrical load switching in lighting control, building automation and electrical distribution systems. Part of the Finder 22 Series, this contactor features a 230 V AC/DC operating coil and two normally open contacts, enabling compatible electrical circuits to be controlled remotely.

Featuring a 2 NO (DPST-NO) contact configuration, the Finder 22.72.0.230.1310 allows two circuits to be switched simultaneously using a common control signal. Its 32 A rated contact current, silver nickel (AgNi) contact material and double-break contact construction provide a practical switching solution for appropriately rated electrical loads.

With a slim 17.5 mm housing width, silent AC/DC coil and integrated varistor protection, this modular contactor combines compact installation with dependable operation. Its mechanical contact-position indicator and 35 mm DIN rail mounting make it suitable for professional electrical distribution boards and automation panels.

Reliable Two-Pole Switching for Electrical Control and Building Automation

Modular installation contactors provide an efficient method of controlling electrical loads from a separate operating circuit. The Finder 22.72.0.230.1310 uses a 230 V AC/DC electromagnetic coil to operate two normally open contacts, allowing compatible electrical circuits to be switched simultaneously using a common control signal.

When the operating coil is energised, both normally open contacts close and complete their respective load circuits. Removing the coil supply returns the contactor to its de-energised state, opening both contacts. This switching arrangement is suitable for lighting systems, building services and industrial control applications requiring predictable remote operation.

The 32 A rated contact current and AgNi contact material support electrical switching within the manufacturer's specified operating limits. The contactor also has a separate 9 A AC-3 rating for appropriately rated motor loads, demonstrating the importance of selecting switching equipment according to the connected load's utilisation category.

Its 17.5 mm housing width is particularly useful in distribution boards and control cabinets where DIN rail space is limited. The silent AC/DC coil helps reduce audible operating noise, while the mechanical indicator provides convenient confirmation of the contactor's switching state.

For applications involving motors, LED drivers or other loads with significant inrush currents, installers should check the manufacturer's relevant switching ratings and load limits rather than relying solely on the nominal 32 A contact rating.
