Why Choose the Finder 46.61.8.230.4000T Industrial Miniature Relay?
The Finder 46.61.8.230.4000T is a compact industrial electromagnetic relay from the Finder Series 46, designed for electrical switching in automation systems, machinery and control panels. Its Type 46.61 construction provides a single changeover contact for controlling electrical circuits using a separate AC control supply.
Featuring a 230 V AC nominal coil and one changeover contact (SPDT / 1 CO), this relay allows an alternating-current control signal to operate a separate electrical load. Its monostable electromagnetic mechanism returns the contact to its normal position when the coil is de-energised.
The Finder Type 46.61 relay family provides a 16 A rated contact current and a compact plug-in design suitable for compatible relay sockets and industrial control assemblies. The full 46.61.8.230.4000T part number identifies the specified manufacturer variant and should be retained when selecting replacements.
Key Advantages
- 230 V AC nominal coil for compatible mains-voltage control circuits.
- 16 A rated contact current for suitable electrical loads.
- Single changeover contact provides normally open and normally closed switching options.
- Compact industrial construction helps conserve control panel space.
- Plug-in design supports straightforward installation and maintenance.
- Electromagnetic switching provides separation between the control coil and load contacts.
- Monostable operation automatically restores the normal contact state when coil power is removed.
- Suitable for automation panels, machinery interfaces and electrical equipment control.
Key Features
- Finder Series 46 industrial miniature relay.
- Type 46.61 single-changeover construction.

- Compact design for industrial control equipment.
- 4000T manufacturer variant.
Reliable AC-Controlled Switching for Industrial Equipment
The Finder 46.61.8.230.4000T operates through an electromagnetic coil that changes the position of its single changeover contact. When the 230 V AC coil is energised, the normally open contact closes and the normally closed contact opens. Removing the coil supply returns the contact to its original state.
This switching arrangement enables an AC control circuit to operate an electrically separate load or auxiliary circuit. The compact Type 46.61 construction is suitable for industrial automation panels, machinery controls and relay interface applications, provided the connected loads and operating conditions remain within the applicable manufacturer ratings.
Typical Applications
- Industrial automation and electrical control panels.
- Machinery auxiliary switching circuits.
- 230 V AC control systems.
- Heating, ventilation and building control equipment.
- Industrial relay interface assemblies.
- Electrical equipment control and monitoring.
- OEM machinery and electrical systems.
- Replacement of compatible Finder Series 46 relays.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Finder 46.61.8.230.4000T used for?
The Finder 46.61.8.230.4000T is an industrial miniature electromagnetic relay used for switching electrical loads and control signals in automation systems, machinery and control panels.
What coil voltage does the Finder 46.61.8.230.4000T require?
The relay requires a 230 V AC nominal coil supply and must be operated using a compatible alternating-current control circuit.
What contact configuration does this relay have?
It has one changeover contact (SPDT / 1 CO), providing common, normally open and normally closed contact connections.
What is the rated contact current?
The Finder Type 46.61 family provides a 16 A rated contact current. Actual permissible switching current depends on the connected load and operating conditions.
Is the Finder 46.61.8.230.4000T suitable for a 24 V control circuit?
No. This version uses a 230 V AC coil. A relay with a coil rating matching the available control supply must be selected.
Is this relay a latching type?
No. It is a monostable electromagnetic relay, meaning the changeover contact returns to its normal position when coil power is removed.
What is the difference between Finder 46.61.8.120.4000T and 46.61.8.230.4000T?
The principal difference is the nominal coil voltage. The 46.61.8.120.4000T uses a 120 V AC coil, while the 46.61.8.230.4000T uses a 230 V AC coil. Both belong to the Finder Type 46.61 relay family.
