40.61.7.024.1301 Finder Miniature PCB relay 1pole 16A DC 24V

Why Choose the Finder 40.61.7.024.1301 Miniature PCB Power Relay?

The Finder 40.61.7.024.1301 is a miniature electromechanical power relay from the Finder 40 Series, designed for industrial automation, electronic control systems and electrical load switching. Combining a 24 V DC sensitive coil with a 16 A single changeover contact, the relay provides a compact switching solution for equipment manufacturers, control panel builders and automation engineers.

The Finder 40.61 relay family features a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) contact arrangement, allowing a low-voltage control signal to switch between normally open and normally closed contact paths. Its monostable operating mechanism provides predictable switching behaviour, while the electrically isolated coil and contact circuits support safe and practical integration into suitably designed equipment.

With a 250 V AC rated switching voltage, 0.5 W sensitive DC coil and compact PCB-compatible construction, the Finder 40.61.7.024.1301 is suitable for a wide range of industrial and electronic switching applications. The 40 Series platform also supports compatible Finder 95 Series socket arrangements, subject to the relay's specific terminal configuration and socket ratings.

Dependable Electrical Switching for Industrial Automation

The Finder 40.61.7.024.1301 provides a practical interface between low-voltage control electronics and electrical load circuits. When its 24 V DC coil is energised, the relay's changeover contact transfers from the normally closed position to the normally open position. When coil power is removed, the contact returns to its normal state, allowing straightforward control of auxiliary equipment and electrical circuits.

The Finder 40 Series is designed for industrial automation, electronic equipment and control panel applications where compact electromechanical switching is required. The 40.61 configuration provides a 16 A single changeover contact, enabling switching of suitable electrical loads while retaining a miniature relay footprint.

Its 0.5 W sensitive DC coil supports integration with compatible industrial control electronics, including relay driver circuits and controller outputs with sufficient current capacity. Electrical separation between the coil and contact circuits allows a low-voltage control system to operate a separately supplied load circuit.

For reliable service, the connected load should be evaluated against the relay's applicable switching category and electrical ratings. Inductive loads, motors and equipment with high inrush currents may require additional protection or a different switching device. Appropriate coil suppression and contact protection should be incorporated where necessary.
