Reliable Power Switching for Industrial Control Systems

The Finder 56.34.9.220.2020 operates by applying a 220 V DC control voltage to its electromagnetic coil. When the coil is energised, the relay actuates its four changeover contacts, allowing connected electrical circuits to be switched simultaneously. When the coil is de-energised, the contacts return to their normal positions.

Its four-pole changeover configuration enables multiple independent control and power circuits to be switched from one operating signal. This makes the relay particularly useful in industrial automation, equipment interlocking, auxiliary power control and electrical switching systems where several contact functions must operate together.

The 12 A rated contacts provide higher switching capacity than many conventional miniature control relays. The Finder 56 Series is designed for applications involving electrical machinery, industrial equipment, motor control interfaces and power distribution systems, with the permissible switching load determined by the relevant AC or DC utilisation category.

The relay's plug-in construction supports efficient installation and maintenance. When installed in a suitable Finder 96 Series socket, the relay can be removed and replaced without disconnecting the socket's permanent wiring. This makes it a practical component for new industrial installations and maintenance of existing electrical control equipment.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial automation and machinery control panels.
  • 220 V DC industrial control circuits.
  • Electrical power distribution and auxiliary switching systems.
  • Industrial furnaces, ovens and heating equipment.
  • Motor control and auxiliary contact applications.
  • Electrical interlocking and sequencing circuits.
  • Control of circuit breakers and switching equipment.
  • Manufacturing machinery and production equipment.
  • Industrial signalling and control systems.
  • Electrical equipment maintenance and compatible relay replacement.
