62.23.8.230.4600 Finder Power relay 3 pole 16A 230V
Finder 62.23.8.230.4600 is a three-pole industrial PCB power relay from the 16 A Finder 62 Series with a 230 V AC coil, designed for electrical switching in machinery, automation and OEM control equipment.
Why Choose the Finder 62.23.8.230.4600 Industrial Power Relay?
The Finder 62.23.8.230.4600 is an industrial electromagnetic power relay from the Finder 62 Series, designed for reliable electrical switching in machinery, automation equipment and electronic control assemblies. Featuring a 230 V AC operating coil and a three-pole relay platform, it is intended for applications where multiple circuits need to be controlled by a single electrical signal.
The Finder 62.23 family offers a 16 A contact rating, making it suitable for a range of industrial switching duties. The 4600 suffix identifies a specific ordering variant; however, its exact contact arrangement and special construction features should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s part-specific documentation before installation or substitution. This distinction is particularly important when comparing the 4600 version with the standard 62.23 changeover relay or the 4300 normally open variant.
Designed for direct printed circuit board mounting, the Finder 62.23.8.230.4600 is suitable for incorporation into purpose-built electrical controllers and OEM equipment. The 62 Series platform combines robust electromagnetic switching with reinforced insulation between the coil and contact circuits, supporting dependable operation in industrial control applications when correctly specified and installed.

Industrial Three-Pole Relay Switching and Control
The Finder 62.23.8.230.4600 uses an electromagnetic coil to operate its contact mechanism. When the 230 V AC coil is energised, the relay changes the state of its switched circuits according to the fitted contact arrangement. When coil power is removed, the non-latching mechanism returns to its normal state. The exact normally open and normally closed terminal functions must be established from the wiring diagram for the 4600 variant.
The Finder 62 Series is used in industrial equipment where reliable switching, PCB integration and separation between control and load circuits are important. For replacement applications, the complete part number 62.23.8.230.4600 should be matched rather than selecting another 62.23 relay solely on the basis of coil voltage and contact current. This helps avoid incompatibility arising from differences in contact arrangement, pin configuration or special ordering features.
Typical Applications
- Industrial automation and machinery control systems.
- PCB-based electrical control assemblies.
- OEM industrial electronic equipment.
- Electrical power switching and control boards.
- Industrial heating and temperature control equipment.
- Lighting control and electrical distribution equipment.
- Manufacturing machinery and automated production systems.
- Building services and HVAC controllers.
- Industrial process control installations.
- Electrical interlocking and auxiliary switching circuits, subject to the confirmed contact configuration.
- Maintenance replacement of equipment originally specified for the 4600 variant.
