Reliable Electromagnetic Switching for Industrial Automation

General-purpose electromagnetic relays such as the Finder 55.32.9.024.2040 provide electrically operated switching between control circuits and connected loads. When the 24 V DC coil is energised, the relay changes the position of its two changeover contacts, allowing electrical signals or suitable loads to be switched according to the requirements of the control system.

The DPDT contact arrangement enables two independent changeover circuits to be controlled by a single coil. This makes the relay suitable for applications involving PLC outputs, interlocking, signalling, equipment status control and general automation functions. The lockable test button and mechanical indicator simplify inspection and maintenance, while the plug-in design supports efficient relay replacement without rewiring the socket connections.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial automation and PLC-controlled switching circuits.
  • Electrical control panels and distribution equipment.
  • Machine control and manufacturing automation.
  • Interlocking and control signal switching.
  • Motor control auxiliary circuits.
  • Industrial signalling and alarm systems.
  • Building automation and equipment control.
  • Process control and instrumentation interfaces.
  • OEM machinery and electrical panel building.
