62.32.9.024.4540 Finder Power relay 2pole 16A DC 24VNO
Finder 62.32.9.024.4540 is a 16 A industrial plug-in power relay with a 24 V DC coil, two changeover contacts, AgSnO2 contact material, additional coil-to-contact separator, lockable test button and mechanical indicator for industrial automation and control panels.
Why Choose the Finder 62.32.9.024.4540 Industrial Power Relay?
The Finder 62.32.9.024.4540 is a 16 A industrial plug-in power relay from the Finder 62 Series, featuring a 24 V DC coil, two changeover contacts (DPDT / 2 CO) and a lockable test button with mechanical operation indicator. Designed for industrial automation, electrical control panels and machinery, this relay provides dependable switching alongside practical facilities for commissioning and maintenance.
A distinguishing feature of the 62.32.9.024.4540 is its additional physical separator between the coil and contact circuits. This special contact-circuit configuration provides enhanced physical separation for applications involving safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements. Combined with the Finder 62 Series' reinforced coil-to-contact insulation, it makes the relay particularly useful where electrical separation and careful control-circuit design are important.
The relay incorporates silver tin oxide (AgSnO2) contacts, providing a cadmium-free contact material suited to demanding electrical switching applications. Its 16 A rated contact current and 250 V AC rated contact voltage support appropriately rated industrial loads, while its Faston 187 quick-connect terminals allow installation in compatible Finder 92 Series sockets. The combination of a 24 V DC coil, changeover contacts, additional insulation separator and manual testing facilities makes this relay a versatile component for industrial control systems.

Reliable 24 V DC Switching with Enhanced Coil-to-Contact Separation
The Finder 62.32.9.024.4540 uses an electromagnetic coil to control two independent changeover contacts. When the 24 V DC 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. This DPDT arrangement supports electrical interlocking, auxiliary switching, control logic and applications requiring two switching circuits to operate together.
The 4540 configuration combines an additional physical separator between coil and contacts with a lockable test button and mechanical indicator. The separator is intended for applications where additional coil-to-contact separation is desirable, including suitable SELV-related designs. The test button allows manual contact operation during commissioning and troubleshooting. Its locking function should only be used under controlled conditions because manually operating the relay can energise connected equipment independently of the normal control signal. Overall system compliance with SELV and applicable safety standards must be verified at installation level.
