40.61.7.009.1301 Finder Miniature PCB relay 1pole 16A DC 9V

Why Choose the Finder 40.61.7.009.1301 Miniature PCB Relay?

The Finder 40.61.7.009.1301 is a miniature electromechanical relay from the Finder Series 40, designed for industrial automation, electronic control equipment and electrical switching applications. Combining a compact construction with a 16 A single changeover contact, it provides a practical interface between low-voltage electronic control circuits and compatible electrical loads.

Featuring a 9 V DC sensitive coil and 1 changeover contact (1 CO / SPDT), the relay is suitable for applications requiring dependable switching from a low-power DC control signal. The Series 40 type 40.61 design offers a 250 V AC rated contact voltage, supporting compatible control and power-switching applications.

The Finder 40.61.7.009.1301 belongs to the 40.61 miniature PCB/plug-in relay family, featuring a compact housing and a 5 mm contact pin pitch. It is intended for integration into electronic equipment and compatible relay interface assemblies. The full ordering code identifies a specific product variant, so its mounting and optional construction details should be matched against the manufacturer's ordering information when selecting a replacement.

Reliable Electromechanical Switching for Industrial Electronics

The Finder 40.61.7.009.1301 provides a conventional electromechanical switching interface between a 9 V DC control circuit and compatible electrical loads. When the operating coil is energised, the relay changes the position of its common contact, allowing a connected circuit to be switched through the normally open or normally closed contact path.

As a monostable relay, the contact arrangement returns to its normal state when the coil is de-energised. This predictable operating behaviour is useful in electronic controllers, machinery control systems, signalling circuits and equipment requiring a defined response when the control supply is removed.

The 16 A single changeover contact offers flexibility for a range of switching functions. The standard 40.61 contact specification includes a rated resistive load of 4,000 VA under AC-1 conditions. Actual permissible loads must be selected according to the relevant voltage, switching category, electrical endurance and inrush-current requirements.

The sensitive 0.5 W DC coil supports low-power control applications. Its nominal resistance of 160 Ω and operating voltage range of 6.6–15.8 V DC provide useful design information for selecting a suitable coil-driving circuit. Where electronic outputs are used, the controller must be capable of supplying the required operating current.

Its miniature Series 40 construction allows installation in compact electrical and electronic assemblies. The relay family supports direct PCB installation and compatible Finder Series 95 socket arrangements, although the exact suffix-specific construction and socket compatibility should be confirmed before installation.
