Reliable AC-Controlled Switching for Industrial Automation

The Finder 60.13.8.024.2040 provides a practical method of controlling multiple electrical circuits through a separate 24 V AC control supply. When its electromagnetic coil is energised, the relay transfers its three changeover contacts, enabling connected equipment to respond to the control signal.

The three-pole changeover arrangement is particularly useful where one control command must operate several independent circuits. Typical functions include electrical interlocking, control sequencing, alarm signalling and auxiliary switching. The relay's plug-in design allows convenient replacement without extensive changes to existing panel wiring.

The integrated lockable test button and mechanical position indicator help engineers inspect and test relay operation during commissioning and maintenance. Electrical load ratings, switching duty, coil supply requirements and socket compatibility should always be assessed when incorporating the relay into an industrial control system.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial electrical control panels and automation cabinets.
  • Machinery automation and auxiliary control circuits.
  • 24 V AC industrial control systems.
  • Electrical interlocking and sequential switching.
  • Industrial alarm, indication and signalling circuits.
  • Contactor and motor starter auxiliary control.
  • Pump and fan control systems.
  • Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment.
  • Building management and electrical automation systems.
  • Manufacturing machinery and production equipment.
  • OEM electrical panel manufacturing.
  • Maintenance and replacement of compatible industrial relays.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Finder 60.13.8.024.2040 used for?

The Finder 60.13.8.024.2040 is a general-purpose industrial electromechanical relay used for switching multiple electrical control and auxiliary load circuits in machinery, automation systems and electrical panels. Its three changeover contacts allow separate circuits to be controlled using a single AC control signal.

What coil voltage does the Finder 60.13.8.024.2040 require?

The relay operates using a 24 V AC coil supply at 50/60 Hz. Its specified coil operating range is 19.2–26.4 V AC, and it should not be substituted for a 24 V DC coil relay without checking the control circuit requirements.

How many contacts does the Finder 60.13.8.024.2040 have?

The relay features three changeover contacts (3PDT), each providing normally open and normally closed switching paths. The nominal contact current rating is 10 A, subject to the connected electrical load and applicable switching conditions.

Does the Finder 60.13.8.024.2040 have a test button?

Yes. The relay includes a lockable test button and a mechanical position indicator to assist with functional testing and inspection. Manual operation should only be carried out when it is safe for connected equipment to operate.

How is the Finder 60.13.8.024.2040 installed?

The relay uses a plug-in mounting arrangement designed for a compatible 11-pin relay socket. The socket must match the Finder 60.13 contact configuration and the electrical requirements of the installation, allowing convenient relay replacement during maintenance.
