Reliable Three-Circuit Switching for Industrial Control Systems
The Finder 60.13.9.048.2040 operates through a 48 V DC electromagnetic coil that actuates three independent changeover contact sets. When the coil is energised, the relay transfers its contacts from their normal positions to their operated positions, allowing three separate circuits to be switched simultaneously. When the coil supply is removed, the spring-return mechanism restores the contacts to their normal state.
The 3PDT contact configuration makes this relay particularly useful for applications requiring multiple switching operations from one control signal. Its lockable test button enables manual contact actuation for functional testing, while the mechanical indicator provides visual confirmation of the relay mechanism's position. The plug-in design supports straightforward replacement and maintenance in industrial control installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Finder 60.13.9.048.2040 used for?
The Finder 60.13.9.048.2040 is a general-purpose electromagnetic relay used to switch three independent electrical circuits in industrial automation, machinery control, electrical panels and signalling applications.
What coil voltage does the Finder 60.13.9.048.2040 require?
This relay requires a 48 V DC nominal coil supply. It is designed for compatible DC control circuits rather than direct AC coil operation.
How many changeover contacts does this relay have?
The relay features three changeover contacts (3 CO), also described as a 3PDT configuration. All three contact sets operate together when the relay coil is energised.
What is the contact current rating of the Finder 60.13.9.048.2040?
The relay has a 10 A rated contact current. The permissible switching load depends on the applied voltage, load characteristics and the manufacturer's applicable contact ratings.
Does the Finder 60.13.9.048.2040 have a lockable test button?
Yes. This model includes a lockable test button for manual contact actuation during commissioning, inspection and maintenance. Testing should only be performed under appropriate electrical safety conditions.
Does this relay include a mechanical indicator?
Yes. The Finder 60.13.9.048.2040 incorporates a mechanical status indicator that provides visual confirmation of the relay mechanism's operating position.
What contact material is used in the Finder 60.13.9.048.2040?
The relay uses silver nickel (AgNi) contacts, a cadmium-free contact material suitable for general-purpose electrical switching applications.
How is the Finder 60.13.9.048.2040 installed?
