60.12.8.230.2000 Finder General purpose relay 2pole 10A 230V

Why Choose the Finder 60.12.8.230.2000 Industrial Relay?

The Finder 60.12.8.230.2000 is a reliable 10 A, 230 V AC plug-in industrial relay designed for electrical switching in automation systems, industrial machinery and control panels. Part of the Finder Series 60 general-purpose relay range, this electromechanical relay combines two independent changeover contacts with a practical plug-in design for flexible electrical control.

Featuring a double-pole double-throw (DPDT, 2 CO) contact configuration, the Finder 60.12.8.230.2000 allows two separate electrical circuits to be switched simultaneously using a single electromagnetic coil. Its 230 V AC nominal coil voltage is suitable for compatible 50/60 Hz control systems, while its 10 A rated contacts at 250 V AC provide switching capability for a variety of industrial applications.

The relay's plug-in terminal arrangement allows installation into a suitable Finder relay socket, making it convenient to remove and replace during servicing. This combination of two-pole switching, mains-voltage coil operation and maintenance-friendly construction makes it an effective choice for electrical panel builders, automation engineers and OEM equipment manufacturers.

Dependable Two-Pole Switching for 230 V AC Control Systems

The Finder 60.12.8.230.2000 uses an electromagnetic coil to operate two mechanically linked changeover contacts. When the 230 V AC coil is energised, both contacts transfer from their normally closed positions to their normally open positions. When the coil supply is removed, the contacts return to their original positions. This enables two separate circuits to be controlled by a single electrical signal.

Its DPDT contact arrangement is particularly useful for applications requiring more than one switching function. For example, one contact may operate an auxiliary control circuit while the other provides equipment status feedback or switches another suitable load. The relay's contact circuits are electrically separate, providing flexibility when designing industrial control systems.

The plug-in construction makes the Finder 60.12.8.230.2000 suitable for installations where convenient servicing and replacement are important. When installed in a compatible socket, the relay can be removed without disconnecting the permanent socket wiring. Engineers should verify the socket configuration, contact loading, switching frequency and protection requirements before installation, particularly when switching inductive loads or equipment with high starting currents.

Typical Applications

• Industrial automation and process control systems.
• 230 V AC machinery control circuits.
• Electrical control panels and relay interface assemblies.
• Industrial machinery and OEM electrical equipment.
• Auxiliary switching and electrical interlocking.
• Building automation and building management systems.
• HVAC equipment and ventilation control circuits.
• Control circuit sequencing and electrical signalling.
• Equipment status indication and auxiliary control.
• Maintenance-friendly plug-in relay installations.
