Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Finder 40.61.8.230.1001 used for?

The Finder 40.61.8.230.1001 is a miniature electromechanical power relay designed for switching compatible electrical loads in industrial automation, electrical control equipment and machinery.

What coil voltage does the Finder 40.61.8.230.1001 require?

The relay requires a 230 V AC nominal coil supply. The applied voltage and frequency must comply with the manufacturer's operating specifications.

What is the contact current rating of the Finder 40.61 relay family?

The Finder Series 40.61 is a 16 A miniature power relay family. The permissible switching current depends on the specific relay configuration, switching voltage and load type.

Is the Finder 40.61.8.230.1001 a solid state relay?

No. It is an electromechanical relay that uses an electromagnetic coil and mechanically operated contacts.

Can the Finder 40.61.8.230.1001 be operated using 24 V AC?

No. This model is identified as a 230 V AC coil variant. A 24 V AC supply is not a substitute for its specified nominal coil voltage.

Can this relay switch AC electrical loads?

Yes. The Finder Series 40.61 platform supports compatible AC switching applications and has a 250 V AC rated contact voltage. The specific load must remain within the applicable contact ratings.

Can the Finder 40.61.8.230.1001 be installed on a PCB?

The Finder Series 40.61 relay platform supports PCB installation and compatible plug-in socket arrangements, depending on the exact variant and terminal configuration.

Can the Finder 40.61.8.230.1001 replace another Series 40 relay?

Replacement compatibility depends on the coil voltage, contact configuration, terminal layout, contact material and complete manufacturer part number. These characteristics should be checked before substituting another relay.

What is the difference between Finder 40.61.8.230.1001 and 40.61.8.024.1001?

The principal difference is the nominal coil voltage: the 40.61.8.230.1001 uses a 230 V AC coil, while the 40.61.8.024.1001 uses a 24 V AC coil. The two models should not be treated as direct electrical substitutes without checking the complete specifications.
