Why Choose the Finder 6K.04.8.024.4809 Industrial Contactor?

The Finder 6K.04.8.024.4809 is a compact four-pole industrial contactor from the Finder Series 6K range, designed for electrical switching in industrial automation, machinery and control panel applications. Featuring a 24 V AC control coil and a four normally open contact arrangement (3 NO + 1 NO), it provides a practical solution for controlling multiple electrical circuits from a common control signal.

With a 9 A maximum operating current and silver tin oxide (AgSnO2) contacts, the Finder 6K.04.8.024.4809 is suitable for appropriately rated electrical switching duties. Its contact configuration comprises three normally open contacts plus an additional normally open contact, making it useful where multiple circuits must be operated together.

The contactor features DIN rail mounting, a compact 45 mm housing width and an IP20 protection rating. These characteristics support straightforward integration into electrical control cabinets, industrial machinery and OEM equipment where installation space, reliable switching and accessible wiring are important.

Key Advantages

  • 24 V AC control voltage for compatible industrial AC control circuits.
  • Four normally open contacts (3 NO + 1 NO) for coordinated electrical switching.
  • 9 A maximum operating current for suitable electrical loads.
  • Silver tin oxide (AgSnO2) contacts provide robust electrical switching performance.
  • DIN rail mounting enables convenient installation in electrical control panels.

Reliable 24 V AC Control for Industrial Electrical Switching

The Finder 6K.04.8.024.4809 uses an electromagnetic operating mechanism controlled by a 24 V AC supply. When the control coil is energised, the normally open contacts close, allowing the connected electrical circuits to operate. When the coil is de-energised, the contactor returns to its normal state and the contacts reopen.

The 3 NO + 1 NO contact arrangement makes this contactor useful where three electrical circuits and an additional normally open circuit must be switched together. Its compact DIN rail-mounted construction and AgSnO2 contact technology support integration into industrial control assemblies. Engineers should confirm the applicable utilisation category, load current, operating voltage and short-circuit protection requirements before commissioning.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial automation and electrical control systems.
  • Machinery and equipment switching circuits.
  • Electrical control panels using 24 V AC control supplies.
  • Coordinated switching of multiple electrical circuits.
  • Industrial motor control applications within the applicable contactor ratings.
  • Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment.
  • Industrial processing and manufacturing equipment.
  • Commercial electrical equipment and appliance control.
  • OEM machinery requiring compact DIN rail-mounted contactors.
  • Maintenance and replacement of compatible Finder Series 6K contactors.
