Why Choose the Finder 60.12.8.120.2000 Industrial Relay?

The Finder 60.12.8.120.2000 is a versatile Finder Series 60 plug-in electromechanical relay designed for industrial automation, electrical control panels and machinery control applications. Featuring a 120 V AC coil and two changeover contacts (DPDT, 2 CO), it provides a practical solution for switching two independent electrical circuits from a single control signal.

As part of Finder's established Series 60 general-purpose relay family, the 60.12.8.120.2000 combines dependable electromagnetic switching with a convenient plug-in construction. Its 10 A contact rating makes it suitable for a variety of control and load-switching duties, subject to the electrical characteristics of the connected equipment.

The relay is designed for installation into a suitable socket, allowing straightforward replacement during servicing without disturbing the permanent wiring. Its 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz coil is particularly useful in equipment employing this control voltage, including imported machinery, industrial control systems and OEM electrical assemblies.

Key Advantages

  • Two changeover contacts (DPDT, 2 CO) allow two independent circuits to be switched simultaneously.
  • 120 V AC nominal coil voltage suits compatible AC control systems.
  • 10 A rated contacts support general-purpose industrial electrical switching.
  • Plug-in construction simplifies installation, inspection and replacement.
  • Monostable electromagnetic operation returns the contacts to their normal positions when coil power is removed.
  • Electrically isolated coil and contact circuits provide flexible integration into control systems.
  • Two-pole switching enables multiple control functions using one relay.
  • Finder Series 60 design supports use in industrial machinery and electrical control panels.
  • Suitable for equipment maintenance, OEM assemblies and automation applications.

Key Features

  • Finder Series 60 general-purpose industrial relay.
  • Type 60.12 with two changeover contacts.
  • 120 V AC nominal coil voltage.
  • 50/60 Hz AC coil operation.
  • DPDT (2 CO, 2 Form C) contact configuration.
  • 10 A rated contact current.
  • 250 V AC rated contact voltage.
  • 2,500 VA rated resistive AC1 switching load.
  • Plug-in terminals for installation into a suitable relay socket.
  • Monostable, non-latching electromechanical switching.
  • Suitable for auxiliary control, electrical interlocking and industrial signalling.

Dependable Two-Pole Switching for 120 V AC Control Systems

The Finder 60.12.8.120.2000 operates using an electromagnetic coil that mechanically changes the position of two separate sets of contacts. When the 120 V AC coil is energised, both changeover contacts transfer from their normally closed positions to their normally open positions. When coil power is removed, the relay returns to its normal, de-energised state.

This DPDT contact arrangement makes the relay suitable for applications requiring two switching functions from a single control signal. For example, one contact may be used to operate an auxiliary circuit while the second provides status feedback or controls another compatible load. The contact circuits are electrically separate, allowing flexible control system design within the relay's specified electrical ratings.

The plug-in construction is particularly valuable in industrial maintenance environments. When installed in a correctly matched socket, the relay can be removed and replaced without rewiring the socket terminals. For reliable operation, engineers should verify the coil supply, socket compatibility, load category, contact protection and switching duty against the applicable Finder technical documentation.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial automation and process control systems.
  • 120 V AC machinery control circuits.
  • Electrical control panels and relay interface assemblies.
  • OEM machinery and industrial equipment.
  • Auxiliary switching and control circuit isolation.
  • Electrical interlocking and sequencing circuits.
  • Industrial signalling and status indication.
  • Building services and equipment control.
  • Maintenance and replacement of compatible Series 60 relays.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Finder 60.12.8.120.2000 used for?

The Finder 60.12.8.120.2000 is a general-purpose industrial plug-in relay used to switch electrical circuits in automation systems, machinery and control panels. Its two changeover contacts allow two independent circuits to be controlled using a single relay coil.

What coil voltage does the Finder 60.12.8.120.2000 require?

The relay is designed for a nominal 120 V AC coil supply at 50/60 Hz. It should be connected to a suitably rated AC control supply rather than a DC supply.

What is the contact rating of the Finder 60.12.8.120.2000?

The relay has 10 A rated contacts at 250 V AC, with a rated resistive AC1 switching load of 2,500 VA. Actual permissible switching loads depend on the load type, inrush current and operating conditions.

What does DPDT mean on the Finder 60.12.8.120.2000?

DPDT means double-pole double-throw, also described as 2 CO or two changeover contacts. Each pole has a common, normally open and normally closed connection, allowing two separate circuits to change state when the relay coil is energised.

How is the Finder 60.12.8.120.2000 installed?

The relay is designed for plug-in socket mounting. A suitable socket must be selected for the Finder Series 60 Type 60.12 terminal arrangement and the intended installation. Socket mounting enables convenient replacement without disconnecting the permanent control panel wiring.
