40.61.7.012.1000 Finder Miniature PCB relay 1pole 16A DC 12V

Why Choose the Finder 40.61.7.012.1000 Miniature Power Relay?

The Finder 40.61.7.012.1000 is a compact 16 A miniature electromechanical power relay designed for industrial automation, electrical load switching and electronic control applications. Part of the Finder Series 40, this relay combines a high-current changeover contact with a sensitive DC coil, making it suitable for equipment requiring reliable switching from a low-power control circuit.

Featuring a 12 V DC sensitive coil, one changeover contact (SPDT / 1 CO) and a 16 A rated contact current, the Finder 40.61.7.012.1000 provides flexible switching for compatible AC and DC electrical loads. Its silver nickel (AgNi) contacts offer dependable electromechanical switching, while the sensitive coil design reduces the power required to operate the relay.

The relay features a compact 12.4 × 29 × 25 mm housing, a 5 mm contact pin pitch and a PCB/plug-in connection format. Its RT II flux-proof construction makes it suitable for appropriate PCB assembly processes, while compatibility with suitable relay sockets offers additional installation flexibility for control panels and industrial equipment.

Reliable High-Current Switching with a Sensitive DC Coil

The Finder 40.61.7.012.1000 uses an electromagnetic coil to operate a single changeover contact. When the specified 12 V DC control voltage is applied, the relay energises and transfers its common contact from the normally closed terminal to the normally open terminal. When coil power is removed, the relay returns to its original position.

Its sensitive DC coil is designed to operate with a nominal power consumption of approximately 0.5 W, making the relay suitable for compatible electronic control circuits where coil power demand is an important consideration. The 16 A changeover contact enables switching of suitable electrical loads while maintaining electrical separation between the coil and contact circuits.

The relay's compact PCB/plug-in format supports integration into electronic equipment and industrial control assemblies. When used with a compatible socket, it can also be incorporated into modular control panel installations. Designers should ensure that the socket, PCB tracks, wiring and protective devices are rated for the intended load, particularly when operating near the relay's maximum contact current.

The RT II flux-proof construction provides protection against soldering flux ingress during suitable assembly processes. It should not be confused with a sealed or wash-tight relay, and the component should be handled in accordance with the manufacturer's PCB assembly recommendations.
