55.32.8.230.2040 Finder Miniature plugin relay 2pole 10A 230V

Why Choose the Finder 55.32.8.230.2040 Miniature Industrial Relay?

The Finder 55.32.8.230.2040 is a compact miniature industrial electromagnetic relay designed for electrical switching, automation and control applications. Part of the established Finder 55 Series, this relay features a 230 V AC nominal coil and a two-pole changeover contact arrangement (2 CO / DPDT), providing a versatile switching solution for industrial machinery, electrical control panels and automation equipment.

The Finder 55.32 relay family is designed for printed circuit board mounting, allowing engineers and equipment manufacturers to integrate reliable electromechanical switching into compact electronic assemblies. Its two changeover contacts provide normally open and normally closed switching functions, enabling two independent electrical circuits to be controlled through a single electromagnetic coil.

With a 10 A nominal contact current rating associated with the Finder 55.32 configuration, the 55.32.8.230.2040 is suitable for a range of appropriately rated electrical loads. Its 230 V AC coil makes it particularly relevant to industrial control systems using AC control supplies, while the relay's compact construction supports efficient equipment design and organised electrical switching.

Key Advantages

• 230 V AC nominal coil: Suitable for compatible industrial AC control circuits.
• Two changeover contacts: Enables simultaneous switching of two independent electrical circuits.
• 10 A nominal contact rating: Provides useful switching capacity for appropriately rated electrical loads.

Reliable Two-Pole Switching for Industrial Automation

The Finder 55.32.8.230.2040 uses an electromagnetic coil to operate two separate changeover contact sets. When the appropriate 230 V AC control voltage is applied, the relay changes the position of both contacts. When the coil supply is removed, the contacts return to their normal positions, providing conventional monostable switching behaviour.

The DPDT contact arrangement offers greater switching flexibility than a single-pole relay. Each pole provides a common connection that switches between normally closed and normally open contacts, allowing the relay to control two independent circuits using one control signal. This arrangement is useful for equipment interfacing, electrical signalling, control logic and industrial switching applications.

Its 10 A nominal contact rating provides switching capability for appropriately rated loads. However, the permissible switching current depends on the operating voltage, load characteristics, power factor, inrush current and switching frequency. Engineers should select suitable circuit protection and verify the exact relay specifications before installation.

The compact PCB-mounted design makes the Finder 55.32.8.230.2040 particularly suitable for electronic control equipment where installation space and organised circuit layouts are important. Its combination of 230 V AC coil operation and two changeover contacts provides a practical solution for industrial machinery and electrical control systems.
