Reliable Electrical Switching for Industrial Control and Automation
Industrial electromagnetic relays such as the Finder 56.32.8.120.0000T provide electrically controlled switching between independent circuits. When the 120 V AC coil is energised, the relay's electromagnetic mechanism changes the position of its two changeover contacts, allowing connected electrical loads or control circuits to be switched. When the coil supply is removed, the monostable relay returns its contacts to their normal positions.
The Finder Series 56 combines compact construction with industrial switching capabilities. The relay's silver-nickel contacts, 12 A continuous current rating and 400 V AC maximum switching voltage make it suitable for a variety of control and power switching applications, provided the connected load remains within the relevant electrical utilisation ratings.
The 56.32T variant belongs to the Series 56 range of miniature power relays designed for demanding electrical applications, including railway equipment. Its plug-in construction allows convenient servicing and replacement, while the two independent changeover contacts provide flexibility for control sequencing, interlocking, equipment signalling and auxiliary switching arrangements.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels and switchgear assemblies.
- PLC interface circuits and industrial automation equipment.
- Machinery control and auxiliary electrical switching.
- Railway vehicle electrical control and signalling equipment.
