40.61.6.024.1001 Finder Miniature PCB relay 1pole 16ADC
Finder 40.61.6.024.1001 is a Series 40 miniature electromechanical power relay with a 24 V DC coil and one SPDT changeover contact, designed for electrical load switching, PLC interfacing and industrial control applications.
Why Choose the Finder 40.61.6.024.1001 Miniature Power Relay?
The Finder 40.61.6.024.1001 is a compact miniature electromechanical power relay designed for electrical switching, industrial automation and electronic control applications. Part of the Finder Series 40 relay range, this versatile relay provides a practical solution for controlling electrical loads from a low-voltage DC control circuit.
Featuring a 24 V DC operating coil and a single changeover contact (SPDT / 1 CO), the Finder 40.61.6.024.1001 allows a control signal to switch between normally closed and normally open contact paths. Its changeover arrangement makes it suitable for switching, interlocking, control signalling and load management applications.
The Finder Series 40 platform is widely used in industrial equipment and electrical control assemblies where compact construction, dependable switching and flexible installation are important. The 40.61 relay format supports integration into compatible relay sockets and control systems, making this model a practical choice for machine builders, maintenance engineers and control panel manufacturers.

Reliable Electrical Load Switching for Industrial Control Systems
The Finder 40.61.6.024.1001 uses an electromagnetic coil to operate its changeover contact. When the specified 24 V DC control voltage is applied, the relay armature moves and transfers the common contact from the normally closed terminal to the normally open terminal. Removing coil power allows the contact to return to its original position.
This operating principle makes the relay useful for switching electrical loads, providing control logic and interfacing low-voltage controllers with external circuits. The single changeover contact offers flexibility for applications requiring either normally open or normally closed operation, depending on the wiring arrangement.
When installed with a suitable socket or mounting arrangement, the Finder Series 40 relay can be incorporated into industrial control panels, machinery and electronic assemblies. Designers should ensure that the connected load, contact ratings, coil supply and any required suppression components are compatible with the exact relay variant and operating conditions.
