Finder 6K.14.9.048.4810 – 6K Series Industrial contactors

Why Choose the Finder 6K.14.9.048.4810 Industrial Contactor?

The Finder 6K.14.9.048.4810 is a compact industrial electromagnetic contactor designed for controlled electrical switching in industrial automation, machinery control and power distribution applications. Belonging to the Finder 6K.14 industrial contactor series, it combines reliable electromagnetic operation with a modular construction suitable for electrical control panels.

Featuring three normally closed (3 NC) main contacts, one normally open (1 NO) auxiliary contact and one normally closed (1 NC) auxiliary contact, this model supports power circuit switching, control feedback and electrical interlocking. Its 48 V DC operating coil enables remote actuation from compatible industrial DC control circuits.

With a rated operational current of 10 A at 400 V AC under AC-3 conditions and a corresponding 4 kW AC-3 operational power rating, the Finder 6K.14.9.048.4810 is suitable for appropriately designed electrical switching installations. Its busbar-compatible main terminal arrangement and modular design make it practical for integration into industrial control assemblies.

Industrial Electromagnetic Switching and Control

The Finder 6K.14.9.048.4810 operates through an electromagnetic coil that actuates its contact mechanism. In a normally closed switching arrangement, the main contacts are closed when the operating coil is de-energised and open when the coil is energised. This behaviour must be considered carefully when designing the electrical control circuit.

The contactor's 48 V DC coil makes it suitable for control systems designed around that voltage. The integrated normally open and normally closed auxiliary contacts provide additional switching states for status indication, interlocking and control logic, without requiring those functions to be performed by the main power contacts.

For motor-related applications, the AC-3 utilisation category covers specified motor starting and stopping duties, while AC-4 concerns more demanding switching conditions. Correct contactor selection depends on the actual load, contact arrangement, duty cycle, short-circuit protection and installation requirements. The listed AC-3 and AC-4 values should not be treated as interchangeable for every operating condition.

Finder's 6K.14 series also supports coordinated protection arrangements and installation within suitably designed industrial electrical equipment. Appropriate protective devices, conductor sizes and connection methods should be selected in accordance with the manufacturer's technical documentation.
