Why Choose the Finder 6K.04.9.024.4809 Industrial Contactor?

The Finder 6K.04.9.024.4809 is a compact 9 A industrial contactor from the Finder 6K Series, designed for reliable motor control, electrical switching and industrial automation. Featuring a 24 V DC operating coil, three normally open (3 NO) main contacts and one normally open (1 NO) auxiliary contact, it provides a versatile solution for industrial machinery, control panels and power distribution equipment.

With a 9 A AC-3 motor switching rating, 20 A AC-1 resistive load rating and 4 kW AC-3 motor power rating at 400 V AC, the Finder 6K.04.9.024.4809 is suitable for controlling appropriately rated industrial motors and electrical loads. Its silver tin oxide (AgSnO2) contacts provide cadmium-free contact construction for demanding switching applications.

The 4809 configuration distinguishes this model from contactors with four main power contacts or a normally closed auxiliary contact. Its additional normally open auxiliary contact is intended for suitable control, signalling and status indication functions, allowing the contactor to integrate effectively with PLC-based automation systems.

Key Advantages

  • 24 V DC operating coil for compatible industrial DC control systems.
  • Three normally open main contacts for suitable three-phase power switching.
  • One normally open auxiliary contact for control feedback and status indication.
  • 9 A AC-3 rated operational current for industrial motor control.
  • 20 A AC-1 rated current for suitable resistive loads.
  • 4 kW AC-3 motor switching capability at 400 V AC.
  • AgSnO2 contact material provides cadmium-free contact construction.
  • 35 mm DIN rail mounting for straightforward installation.
  • Compact 45 mm housing width helps conserve enclosure space.
  • IP20 protection rating for installation inside suitable electrical panels.

Efficient Three-Phase Motor Control with Normally Open Auxiliary Feedback

The Finder 6K.04.9.024.4809 operates using a 24 V DC electromagnetic coil. When the coil is energised, the three normally open main contacts close to supply power to the connected load. The normally open auxiliary contact also closes, allowing a separate control or signalling circuit to operate. When the coil is de-energised, all four contacts return to their normally open positions under normal operating conditions.

The normally open auxiliary contact is particularly useful for signalling that the contactor has been commanded into its energised state. It can be incorporated into suitable PLC input circuits, status indication systems or control interlocks. However, auxiliary contact operation alone does not prove that every main contact has physically opened or closed correctly.

The 9 A AC-3 rating applies to specified motor switching duties, while the 20 A AC-1 rating applies to resistive or slightly inductive electrical loads. The auxiliary contact has its own separate electrical rating and must not be used as an additional 9 A main power contact. Motor starting current, switching frequency and protective-device coordination should be considered during installation.

The contactor's 35 mm DIN rail mounting, screw terminals and compact 45 mm width make it suitable for modern industrial control panels. Its 24 V DC coil also allows integration into compatible low-voltage control systems commonly used in automated machinery and industrial equipment.

Typical Applications

  • Three-phase industrial motor control.
  • Water pumps and pumping stations.
  • Industrial machinery and manufacturing equipment.
  • Conveyor systems and material-handling equipment.
  • HVAC fans and industrial ventilation systems.
  • Electrical distribution and motor starter panels.
  • Industrial automation using 24 V DC control supplies.
  • PLC-based contactor status indication circuits.
  • Electrical interlocking and auxiliary signalling applications.
  • OEM machinery requiring three main power contacts and one NO auxiliary contact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Finder 6K.04.9.024.4809 used for?

The Finder 6K.04.9.024.4809 is a 9 A industrial contactor used for motor control and electrical switching in machinery, pumps, conveyors and automation panels. It features three normally open main contacts and one normally open auxiliary contact for suitable signalling and control functions.

Does the Finder 6K.04.9.024.4809 use an AC or DC coil?

The contactor uses a 24 V DC nominal operating coil. It is designed for a compatible DC control supply and should not be connected directly to a 24 V AC supply.

What does the 4809 suffix mean on the Finder 6K.04.9.024.4809?

The 4809 configuration identifies the 9 A AC-3 contactor with three normally open main contacts and one normally open auxiliary contact. The auxiliary contact is intended for suitable signalling or control functions rather than main motor power switching.

What is the difference between the Finder 6K.04.9.024.4809 and 6K.04.9.024.4709?

Both models use a 24 V DC coil and have three normally open main contacts with a 9 A AC-3 rating. The 4809 version has one normally open auxiliary contact, while the 4709 version has one normally closed auxiliary contact. The correct version depends on the required control circuit operation.

How is the Finder 6K.04.9.024.4809 mounted and connected?

The contactor is designed for 35 mm DIN rail mounting and uses screw terminals. The specified conductor connection range is 0.5–2.5 mm². Installation should be carried out inside a suitable electrical enclosure with appropriately selected overload and short-circuit protection.
