55.12.8.230.2000 Finder Miniature PCB relay 2pole 10A 230V

Why Choose the Finder 55.12.8.230.2000 Industrial PCB Power Relay?

The Finder 55.12.8.230.2000 is a 230 V AC industrial electromagnetic power relay designed for printed circuit board mounting and general-purpose electrical switching. Part of the Finder Series 55 range, this relay features two changeover contacts (DPDT / 2 CO), allowing two separate circuits to be switched simultaneously using a single control coil.

Featuring a 10 A rated contact current and a 230 V AC coil, the Finder 55.12.8.230.2000 provides a practical switching solution for industrial automation equipment, electrical control boards and power management applications. Its double-pole changeover arrangement offers normally open and normally closed connections for flexible circuit control.

The relay is designed for through-hole PCB mounting and uses silver cadmium oxide (AgCdO) contact material. With a nominal coil resistance of 17 kΩ and compact dimensions of approximately 20.7 × 27.7 × 35.8 mm, it is suitable for integration into compatible electronic and industrial control assemblies.

Key Advantages

• 230 V AC coil operation enables control from compatible AC control circuits.
• Two changeover contacts provide flexible switching of two independent circuits.
• 10 A rated contact current supports suitable industrial and general-purpose electrical loads.
• DPDT configuration provides normally open and normally closed switching functions on both poles.
• PCB through-hole mounting allows direct integration into compatible printed circuit boards.
• Monostable electromagnetic operation returns the contacts to their normal positions when coil power is removed.
• AgCdO contact material provides the specified contact construction for electrical switching.
• Compact industrial relay design helps optimise space within electronic control assemblies.
• 17 kΩ nominal coil resistance supports electrical design and maintenance calculations.
• Suitable for automation equipment, industrial control systems and electrical power management applications.

Dual Changeover Switching for Industrial Control Applications

The Finder 55.12.8.230.2000 industrial power relay uses a 230 V AC electromagnetic coil to operate two changeover contact sets. Each contact set provides a common, normally closed and normally open connection. When the coil is energised, both common contacts transfer from their normally closed positions to their normally open positions. When the coil is de-energised, the relay returns to its normal state.

This DPDT switching arrangement allows one control signal to operate two separate circuits, making the relay useful for industrial automation, control logic and equipment switching. The 10 A contact rating applies under specified load conditions; inductive, motor and other demanding loads may require derating. When replacing an existing relay, installers should confirm the coil supply, contact configuration, PCB terminal layout, contact material and switching requirements before fitting the replacement.
