Why Choose the Finder 56.32.9.024.4070 Miniature Power Relay?

The Finder 56.32.9.024.4070 is a 12 A miniature industrial power relay designed for dependable electrical switching in automation systems, machinery control panels and industrial electrical equipment. Part of the Finder 56 Series, this two-pole plug-in relay combines a 24 V DC operating coil, two changeover contacts (2 CO / DPDT) and a robust contact system in a serviceable industrial package.

Featuring silver tin oxide (AgSnO2) contacts, the Finder 56.32.9.024.4070 is particularly suited to compatible loads where contact resistance to welding and switching stresses are important considerations. Each changeover pole is rated at 12 A, with a 250 V AC rated contact voltage and 3000 VA AC1 switching capacity. The relay also provides a 20 A maximum peak contact current under specified conditions.

The .4070 configuration identifies the combination of AgSnO2 contact material and a lockable test button with a double LED indication arrangement for DC operation. The relay's plug-in construction allows it to be used with appropriately selected Finder 96 Series sockets, supporting convenient installation and replacement. Its 24 V DC coil makes it suitable for industrial control systems operating from compatible low-voltage DC supplies.

Specification note: The electrical ratings are based on Finder's published 56.32 Series data. The precise behaviour and wiring of the .4070 indication option should be checked against the manufacturer's terminal diagram before installation. Ratings for inductive, capacitive and high-inrush loads may differ substantially from the stated AC1 resistive-load rating.

Silver Tin Oxide Contacts for Reliable Industrial Power Switching

The Finder 56.32.9.024.4070 uses an electromagnetic switching mechanism controlled by its 24 V DC coil. When the coil is energised, both changeover contact sets transfer from their normally closed positions to their normally open positions. When the supply is removed, the contacts return to their normal state. This allows a single control signal to switch two separate circuits, making the relay useful for auxiliary control, electrical interlocking and coordinated equipment operation.

The AgSnO2 contact material is an important distinguishing feature of the .4070 version. Silver tin oxide is commonly selected for its resistance to contact welding and its performance under suitable switching conditions involving elevated current stresses. However, relay suitability must still be assessed against the actual load type, particularly for LED drivers, switched-mode power supplies, motors and other devices with significant inrush currents.

The lockable test button supports maintenance and commissioning by allowing manual contact operation when safe to do so. The double LED indication arrangement provides additional visual information for the DC control circuit. Because manual operation can energise connected equipment unexpectedly, the test button must only be used during an appropriate and controlled maintenance procedure. The relay's Finder 96 Series socket mounting also allows convenient replacement without disturbing permanent field wiring.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial automation and electrical control panels.
  • Machinery control and auxiliary switching circuits.

  • Dual-circuit control and electrical interlocking.
  • Industrial motor control auxiliary circuits.
  • Building automation and facilities management systems.
  • Heating, ventilation and air conditioning control equipment.
  • Industrial alarm, monitoring and signalling systems.
  • Electrical distribution and control assemblies.
  • OEM industrial machinery and equipment manufacturing.
  • Switching of compatible lighting and power supply circuits, subject to inrush-current assessment.
  • Maintenance and replacement of compatible Finder 56.32 relays.

The .4070 configuration identifies silver tin oxide (AgSnO2) contacts together with a lockable test button and double LED indication for DC operation. The contact material supports demanding switching applications, while the test and indication features assist maintenance and control circuit monitoring.

What coil voltage does the Finder 56.32.9.024.4070 require?

The relay uses a 24 V DC nominal coil with approximately 600 Ω resistance and 40 mA nominal current. The standard Finder 56.32 DC coil operating range is 19.2 to 26.4 V DC.

What is the contact configuration and switching rating?

The relay provides two changeover contacts (2 CO / DPDT), each rated at 12 A. The rated contact voltage is 250 V AC, with a 3000 VA AC1 switching capacity for compatible resistive loads. Inductive and high-inrush loads require separate rating checks.

Can the Finder 56.32.9.024.4070 be installed on a DIN rail?

Yes, when used with a compatible Finder 96 Series DIN rail mounting socket. The relay itself uses plug-in Faston terminals rather than mounting directly onto the DIN rail. The selected socket must match the relay's terminal arrangement and electrical requirements.
