Reliable Electrical Switching for Industrial Control Systems

Electromechanical power relays such as the Finder 45.71.7.012.1311 allow low-voltage electronic control circuits to operate separate electrical loads through an electrically isolated switching mechanism. When the specified 12 V DC supply is applied to the relay coil, the internal electromagnetic mechanism closes the normally open contact, allowing current to flow through the controlled circuit. When the coil is de-energised, the contact returns to its normally open position.

The Finder 45 Series is engineered for industrial and commercial equipment requiring dependable switching, high electrical insulation and reliable operation across a wide temperature range. The 360 mW sensitive DC coil helps minimise control circuit power requirements, while the 16 A silver-nickel contact system supports switching of appropriately rated electrical loads. Its reinforced insulation, wash-tight construction and combined PCB/Faston terminal arrangement make it suitable for heating equipment, automation systems and OEM electrical assemblies.
