40.61.6.024.1000 Finder Miniature PCB relay 1pole 16ADC

Why Choose the Finder 40.61.6.024.1000 Bistable PCB Relay?

The Finder 40.61.6.024.1000 is a miniature 16 A bistable electromechanical relay designed for industrial automation, electrical control equipment and electronic switching applications. Part of the Finder Series 40, it combines a compact housing, a single changeover contact and a mechanically maintained switching mechanism that retains its selected position without continuous coil energisation.

Featuring a 24 V AC/DC single-coil bistable operating system and 1 changeover contact (1 CO / SPDT), the relay provides a practical solution for applications requiring maintained switching states. Its 16 A rated contact current and 250 V AC rated contact voltage support the switching of compatible electrical loads within the manufacturer's specified limits.

The Finder 40.61.6.024.1000 is designed for direct PCB mounting or installation using compatible Finder Series 95 sockets. Its miniature construction, 5 mm contact pin pitch and single-coil bistable technology make it suitable for compact electrical assemblies, automation equipment and control circuits where reduced holding power is desirable.

Reliable Bistable Switching for Industrial Control and Automation

The Finder 40.61.6.024.1000 uses a single-coil bistable mechanism that allows its contacts to remain in either of two mechanically maintained switching positions. Unlike a conventional monostable relay, the bistable mechanism does not require continuous coil energisation to retain the selected contact state.

The relay is operated using suitable SET and RESET control circuits. In the Finder Series 40 bistable arrangement, the control circuit applies the appropriate magnetising or demagnetising action to change the relay's state. The manufacturer's wiring diagram specifies the required connections and external components for AC or DC operation. The minimum SET or RESET impulse duration is 20 ms, and the control arrangement must prevent simultaneous SET and RESET commands.

Its single changeover contact provides a common terminal and two alternative switching paths. This makes the relay suitable for maintained control functions, circuit selection and applications where a switching state must remain established after the operating signal has ended.

With a 16 A rated contact current, the relay supports suitable resistive and industrial control loads. The connected equipment must remain within the relevant Finder ratings, particularly where inductive loads, motors, LED drivers or other devices produce significant switching inrush currents.

The compact 29 × 12.4 × 25 mm housing allows the relay to be incorporated into printed circuit board assemblies or used with compatible Finder Series 95 sockets. This flexibility supports both electronic equipment manufacture and control cabinet applications requiring mechanically maintained switching.
