Reliable Three-Pole Changeover Switching for Industrial Automation
The Finder 62.83.8.230.4500 operates as an electrically controlled switch. When its 230 V AC coil is energised, the relay transfers all three changeover contacts from their normally closed positions to their normally open positions. When the coil is de-energised, the contacts return to their original states. This arrangement allows a single control signal to switch three separate electrical circuits simultaneously.
The 3PDT contact configuration provides greater switching flexibility than a relay with normally open contacts only. Each pole includes a common, normally closed and normally open connection, making the relay suitable for control changeover, auxiliary switching and electrical interlocking applications. Its silver tin oxide contacts are designed for repeated switching of compatible industrial loads within the manufacturer's electrical ratings.
The integrated mechanical indicator provides a convenient visual reference for relay operation during inspection and fault-finding. The Faston 250 quick-connect terminals simplify wiring with compatible receptacles, while the rear flange arrangement supports secure mounting within industrial equipment. The 230 V AC coil makes this relay suitable for control systems designed around a compatible AC supply, with appropriate electrical protection and safe installation practices.

The main difference is the contact configuration. The 62.83.8.230.4500 features three changeover contacts (3PDT), while the 62.83.8.230.4309 features three normally open contacts (3PST-NO). Both use a 230 V AC coil and have a 16 A rated contact current, but their contact arrangements are different and must be matched to the intended wiring.
Can the Finder 62.83.8.230.4500 switch three-phase electrical loads?
The relay provides three changeover contacts operated simultaneously, so it can control three separate electrical circuits. Suitability for a particular three-phase load depends on its current, voltage and switching characteristics. Motor power applications must be assessed against the relevant motor switching ratings and protection requirements rather than the resistive contact rating alone.
