40.61.9.014.1001 Finder Miniature PCB relay 1pole 16A DC 14V

Why Choose the Finder 40.61.9.014.1001 Miniature Power Relay?

The Finder 40.61.9.014.1001 is a compact 16 A miniature electromechanical power relay from the Finder Series 40 range. Featuring a 14 V DC standard coil and a single changeover contact (SPDT / 1 CO), it is designed for electrical switching applications where a low-voltage DC control signal must operate a separate load circuit.

The relay's 14 V DC coil has a nominal resistance of 300 Ω, draws approximately 47 mA and consumes approximately 0.65 W. Its standard DC coil operating range is 10.2–21 V DC under the conditions specified in Finder's Series 40 technical documentation. These characteristics make the relay suitable for compatible electronic controllers, machinery interfaces and industrial control circuits.

Based on the Finder 40.61 platform, the relay offers a 16 A changeover contact, a 250 V AC rated contact voltage and a compact housing measuring approximately 29 × 12.4 × 25 mm. The .1001 suffix identifies a particular construction variant; its precise contact material and enclosure protection should be confirmed against the manufacturer's exact ordering information before specifying the product for new equipment or direct replacement.

Reliable 14 V DC Control with 16 A Changeover Switching

The Finder 40.61.9.014.1001 operates through an electromagnetic coil. When the appropriate 14 V DC control supply is applied, the coil energises and transfers the common contact from the normally closed terminal to the normally open terminal. When the coil supply is removed, the contacts return to their normal position.

The standard DC coil has a nominal resistance of 300 Ω and draws approximately 47 mA at its rated voltage. Engineers selecting a PLC output, transistor driver or electronic controller should ensure that the control circuit can supply the required coil current. Appropriate coil suppression may also be necessary to protect electronic switching devices from inductive voltage transients.

The 16 A changeover contact allows a relatively low-power control signal to switch a separate electrical load. The maximum permissible switching current depends on the load category, voltage, switching frequency and electrical operating conditions. For motors, transformers, capacitive loads and LED drivers, starting current and inrush current should be evaluated rather than relying solely on the AC1 resistive-load rating.

The compact Series 40.61 format is useful for electronic equipment and control assemblies where installation space is limited. When specifying this exact .1001 variant, verify its terminal arrangement, contact material, environmental protection and socket compatibility against current Finder documentation. The complete part number should be matched when selecting a replacement.
