Why Choose the Finder 62.32.8.012.4040 Industrial Power Relay?

The Finder 62.32.8.012.4040 is a robust 16 A industrial plug-in power relay designed for dependable electrical switching in automation systems, industrial machinery and electrical control panels. Featuring a 12 V AC operating coil and two changeover contacts (DPDT / 2 CO), this relay provides flexible control of two independent electrical circuits from a single coil signal. As part of the established Finder 62 Series, it combines high-current switching performance with convenient plug-in installation and maintenance-friendly operating features.

A key advantage of the 62.32.8.012.4040 is its lockable test button and mechanical operation indicator. The test button allows the relay contacts to be operated manually during commissioning, testing and maintenance, while the mechanical indicator provides a visual indication of relay operation. These features make the 4040 version particularly useful in industrial control cabinets where engineers need to inspect and test switching functions efficiently.

The relay features silver tin oxide (AgSnO2) contacts, a 16 A rated contact current and 250 V AC rated contact voltage. Its Faston 187 quick-connect terminals support installation in compatible Finder 92 Series sockets, enabling straightforward relay replacement without desoldering. With its combination of high-current contacts, a low-voltage AC coil and practical diagnostic features, the Finder 62.32.8.012.4040 is well suited to industrial automation, machinery control, heating equipment and electrical power switching applications.

Reliable Power Switching with Manual Testing and Mechanical Indication

The Finder 62.32.8.012.4040 uses an electromagnetic mechanism to operate two independent changeover contacts. When the 12 V AC coil is energised, each common contact transfers from its normally closed position to its normally open position. When the coil supply is removed, the contacts return to their normal positions. The DPDT arrangement is particularly useful for electrical interlocking, auxiliary switching, control logic and applications requiring alternative circuit paths.

The 4040 configuration adds a lockable manual test button and mechanical operation indicator. The test button can be used to operate the relay contacts during commissioning or maintenance, while the mechanical flag provides an immediate visual indication of relay operation. The button's locking function must be used only under appropriate, electrically safe testing conditions, as manually operated contacts can energise connected equipment independently of the normal control signal. Combined with plug-in mounting and Faston terminals, these features make the relay particularly convenient for industrial maintenance engineers and control panel builders.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial automation and machinery control systems.
  • Electrical control panels and industrial distribution cabinets.
  • 12 V AC industrial control circuits.
  • Industrial heating equipment and temperature controllers.
