56.32.9.024.4020 Finder Miniature power relay Plugin 2p 12A DC24V

Why Choose the Finder 56.32.9.024.4020 24 V DC 12 A Industrial Power Relay?

The Finder 56.32.9.024.4020 is a two-pole miniature industrial power relay from the Finder Series 56 range, designed for dependable switching in industrial automation, machinery control and electrical distribution equipment. Featuring a 24 V DC operating coil, two changeover contacts (2 CO / DPDT) and a 12 A rated contact current, this relay provides a practical solution for controlling electrical loads through low-voltage DC control circuits.

The Finder 56.32 relay combines a compact plug-in design with the flexibility of two independent changeover contacts. Each pole provides common, normally open and normally closed connections, allowing a single control signal to perform multiple switching, signalling or interlocking functions.

Designed for use with compatible Finder Series 96 sockets, the relay features 4.8 × 0.5 mm Faston plug-in terminals and supports convenient installation and replacement. The Series 56 range also incorporates mechanical status indication and manual test facilities on appropriate versions, making it suitable for industrial control panels where straightforward operation and maintenance are important.

Product selection note: The specifications above describe the applicable Finder 56.32 relay family and 24 V DC coil configuration. The precise contact material and special options associated with the complete 56.32.9.024.4020 ordering suffix should be confirmed against the manufacturer's variant-specific documentation before substitution or installation.

Reliable 12 A Switching for Industrial Automation and Control

The Finder 56.32.9.024.4020 operates through a 24 V DC electromagnetic coil controlling two independent changeover contacts. When the coil is energised, the relay mechanism transfers each common contact from its normally closed terminal to its normally open terminal. When the coil supply is removed, the contacts return to their normal positions.

The 12 A contact rating and 3,000 VA resistive switching capacity make the Finder 56.32 suitable for a range of industrial electrical loads when operated within the manufacturer's specified ratings. The two-pole configuration also allows a single relay to perform separate switching or signalling functions.

The 24 V DC coil makes the relay particularly useful in industrial control systems using low-voltage DC supplies, including PLC-controlled equipment, machine automation and auxiliary control panels. Its typical 9 ms operate time and 6 ms release time support responsive electromechanical switching.

With a plug-in construction designed for compatible Finder Series 96 sockets, the relay can be replaced without disturbing permanent panel wiring. This arrangement is valuable in industrial maintenance environments where rapid servicing and clear component identification are important.

When switching inductive loads such as motors, contactor coils or solenoids, suitable contact protection and transient suppression should be considered. The connected load must remain within the relay's applicable AC or DC switching limits.
