40.61.6.024.0001 Finder Miniature PCB relay 1pole 16ADC

Why Choose the Finder 40.61.6.024.0001 Bistable Miniature Power Relay?

The Finder 40.61.6.024.0001 is a compact and reliable 16 A bistable electromagnetic power relay designed for electrical switching, industrial automation and control applications. Part of the established Finder 40 Series miniature PCB and plug-in relay range, this model combines a single changeover contact with a 24 V coil system and bistable operation, making it suitable for applications requiring maintained switching states without continuous coil energisation.

Unlike conventional monostable relays, the Finder 40.61.6.024.0001 uses a single-coil bistable switching mechanism that maintains its contact position after the appropriate switching impulse. This allows the relay to retain its selected state without continuous coil power, helping reduce energy consumption and unnecessary coil heating in suitable control circuits.

Featuring a single-pole changeover (SPDT / 1 CO) contact, a 16 A nominal contact rating and a compact housing measuring approximately 29 × 12.4 × 25 mm, this relay is suitable for printed circuit board assemblies and compatible relay sockets. Its 24 V AC nominal coil specification and silver-nickel contact material make it a practical choice for machine control, electrical switching and industrial equipment.

Reliable Bistable Switching for Industrial Automation

Bistable electromagnetic relays are designed to maintain their switching position after a control impulse has been applied. The Finder 40.61.6.024.0001 uses this operating principle to provide reliable electrical switching without requiring the coil to remain continuously energised. This makes it particularly useful in applications where a maintained switching state is required while minimising ongoing coil power consumption.

The relay's single changeover contact provides flexibility for switching between two circuit paths, while its 16 A nominal contact rating supports a range of control and power-switching applications. Actual switching capacity depends on the electrical load, operating voltage and load characteristics, so the relevant contact ratings should be observed when designing the circuit.

As part of the Finder 40 Series, the relay benefits from a compact construction suitable for printed circuit boards and compatible plug-in socket arrangements. Its bistable coil must be driven using the appropriate set and reset control circuit rather than treated as an ordinary continuously energised relay coil. This makes correct wiring and switching impulse control important for dependable operation in automation equipment and electrical control systems.
