40.61.8.240.1000 Finder Miniature PCB relay 1pole 16A 240V
Finder 40.61.8.240.1000 Series 40 miniature electromechanical power relay with a 240 V AC coil, 16 A nominal contact rating and one changeover contact for PCB-mounted electrical switching in industrial automation and electronic control equipment.
Why Choose the Finder 40.61.8.240.1000 Miniature Power Relay?
The Finder 40.61.8.240.1000 is a compact electromechanical miniature power relay from the Finder Series 40, designed for reliable electrical switching in industrial automation, electronic control equipment and machinery applications. Its space-efficient construction makes it suitable for printed circuit board assemblies requiring dependable switching and straightforward integration into electrical control systems.
Featuring a 240 V AC nominal coil voltage, a single changeover contact (1 CO) and a 16 A nominal contact rating, this relay provides a practical interface between AC control circuits and compatible electrical loads. Its electromagnetic switching mechanism enables an applied control voltage to operate an independent electrical circuit while maintaining galvanic separation between the coil and switched contacts.
The Finder 40.61.8.240.1000 belongs to Finder's established 40.61 miniature power relay family. Its PCB mounting arrangement, compact construction and versatile changeover contact functionality make it suitable for OEM equipment manufacturers, automation engineers and electronic control system designers requiring reliable auxiliary switching.
Key Advantages
- 240 V AC nominal coil voltage for compatible AC control circuits.
- 16 A nominal contact rating for switching suitable electrical loads.
- Single changeover contact (1 CO) provides normally open and normally closed switching functions.
- Compact miniature construction supports space-efficient printed circuit board integration.
- Electromechanical switching provides galvanic separation between control and load circuits.
- Suitable for industrial automation, electronic equipment and auxiliary electrical switching.

Reliable 240 V AC Relay Switching for Industrial Control Systems
The Finder 40.61.8.240.1000 operates through an electromagnetic coil that changes the position of its single changeover contact. When the 240 V AC coil is energised, the common contact transfers from the normally closed terminal to the normally open terminal. When the coil supply is removed, the contact returns to its original position, enabling straightforward control of compatible electrical circuits.
The Finder Series 40 is designed for applications requiring compact construction, dependable switching and efficient integration into electronic equipment. The 40.61 relay type provides a 16 A nominal contact rating, making it suitable for a range of auxiliary power-switching functions. Actual permissible switching loads depend on voltage, load category, inrush current, switching frequency and operating conditions. The manufacturer's applicable electrical ratings and installation requirements should therefore be observed when incorporating the relay into equipment.
