56.32.8.230.0000T Finder Miniature power relay Plugin 2p 12A 230V

Why Choose the Finder 56.32.8.230.0000T Miniature Power Relay?

The Finder 56.32.8.230.0000T is a 12 A miniature power relay from the Finder 56 Series, designed for electrical switching in industrial automation, machinery control and electrical control panels. Featuring a 230 V AC coil and two changeover contacts (2 CO / DPDT), this relay provides a practical solution for controlling two separate electrical circuits from a single control signal.

The Finder 56.32 relay design combines a compact plug-in construction with silver-nickel (AgNi) contacts for general-purpose switching. Its two-pole changeover arrangement makes it suitable for auxiliary control, equipment signalling, electrical interlocking and other applications requiring dependable electromechanical operation.

The 56.32.8.230.0000T belongs to the Finder 56 Series family of miniature power relays. The underlying 56.32.8.230.0000 configuration is specified with a 12 A contact rating, 250 V AC rated contact voltage and plug-in terminals. The final T suffix identifies a specific ordering variant; any additional suffix-dependent construction or approval requirements should be confirmed against Finder's exact product documentation before installation.

Key Advantages

• 12 A contact rating provides switching capability for appropriately rated electrical loads.
• 230 V AC nominal coil suits compatible AC control circuits.
• Two changeover contacts allow two circuits to be controlled from one coil signal.

Reliable Power Switching for Industrial Automation

The Finder 56.32.8.230.0000T is intended for relay-based control applications where an AC control signal must operate separate electrical circuits. When the 230 V AC coil is energised, the relay's two changeover contacts transfer between their normally closed and normally open positions. This arrangement supports auxiliary switching, equipment status signalling and control logic within industrial electrical systems.

Finder 56 Series relays are useful in control panels and equipment assemblies where serviceable, socket-mounted switching components are preferred. The 12 A contact rating provides a useful starting point for load selection, but designers must also consider switching voltage, load type, inrush current, operating frequency and the applicable utilisation category. Inductive loads and motors may require additional contact protection or a suitably rated contactor.

Typical Applications

• Industrial automation and machinery control panels.
• Auxiliary switching in electrical control circuits.
• Equipment status indication and signalling.
• Electrical interlocking and control logic.
• Building automation control equipment.
• Heating, ventilation and air conditioning control systems.
• Process control and production machinery.
• OEM electrical equipment and control cabinets.
• Maintenance and replacement of compatible Finder 56 Series relays.
• Control applications requiring two changeover contacts.
