Why Choose the Finder 65.31.8.120.0309 Power Relay?

The Finder 65.31.8.120.0309 is an industrial electromagnetic power relay from the Finder 65 Series, featuring a 120 V AC operating coil and a high-current contact arrangement designed for industrial electrical control and power switching applications. The 65.31 relay family is suited to machinery, control panels and equipment requiring dependable electromechanical switching.

The Finder 65.31-0300 family features a single normally open contact (SPST-NO / 1 NO) with a 30 A rated contact current and an open contact gap of at least 3 mm. This provides a practical switching arrangement for applications requiring one circuit to close when the relay coil is energised.

Designed for rear flange mounting, the relay family incorporates Faston 250 quick-connect terminals measuring 6.3 × 0.8 mm. The exact .0309 variant should be checked against the original equipment specification when selecting a replacement, particularly where contact material or application-specific construction is important.

High-Current Normally Open Switching for Industrial Control

The Finder 65.31.8.120.0309 belongs to a relay family that uses an electromagnetic coil to operate a normally open power contact. When the 120 V AC coil is energised, the relay closes its contact, allowing current to flow through the connected load circuit. When the coil supply is removed, the contact returns to its open position.

The 65.31-0300 contact arrangement provides a minimum open contact gap of 3 mm, together with a high-current switching design. This contact separation is a useful construction feature but does not, on its own, establish suitability for safety isolation or emergency-stop functions.

The relay's rear flange mounting and Faston 250 terminals allow installation in suitable industrial electrical equipment. For replacement applications, the complete part number, contact arrangement, coil voltage, mounting details and electrical ratings must be checked against the original equipment requirements.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial machinery and automation systems.
  • Electrical control panels and equipment assemblies.
  • 120 V AC control circuits.
  • High-current auxiliary power switching.
  • Industrial heating and equipment control.
  • Machinery power and control interfaces.
  • Electrical interlocking and equipment sequencing.
  • Industrial process control equipment.
  • Maintenance and repair of compatible relay installations.
  • OEM electrical equipment and machinery assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Finder 65.31.8.120.0309 used for?

The Finder 65.31.8.120.0309 is an electromagnetic power relay from the Finder 65 Series, intended for industrial electrical control and power switching applications requiring a compatible 120 V AC operating coil.

What coil voltage does the Finder 65.31.8.120.0309 require?

The relay uses a 120 V AC nominal coil. The control supply should match the manufacturer's specified AC operating requirements.

What contact arrangement does the Finder 65.31 relay use?

The 65.31-0300 configuration uses one normally open contact, described as SPST-NO or 1 Form A. The contact closes when the relay coil is energised.

What is the contact current rating?

The Finder 65.31-0300 configuration has a 30 A rated contact current. The permitted switching current depends on the connected load, switching voltage and applicable manufacturer ratings.

What is the contact gap of the Finder 65.31-0300 configuration?

The normally open contact has a specified gap of at least 3 mm when open. This is a distinguishing feature of the 65.31-0300 relay construction.

How is the Finder 65.31.8.120.0309 mounted?

The Finder 65.31 relay family uses a rear flange mounting arrangement for installation in compatible industrial electrical equipment.

What terminals does this relay use?

The Finder 65.31 relay construction features Faston 250 quick-connect terminals measuring 6.3 × 0.8 mm.

Is the Finder 65.31.8.120.0309 a latching relay?

The Finder 65.31 family uses a monostable electromagnetic operating mechanism. The normally open contact returns to its open position when the coil is de-energised.

Can this relay operate from a 120 V DC supply?

No. The .8.120 coil designation identifies a 120 V AC coil. A suitable DC-coil version must be selected for DC control supplies.

Can the Finder 65.31.8.120.0309 switch DC loads?

The relay may switch DC loads only within the manufacturer's specified DC contact ratings. Its AC current rating must not automatically be applied to DC switching applications.

Can another Finder 65.31 relay replace the .0309 variant?

Not automatically. The complete part number should be checked because different suffixes may identify different contact materials or construction options. Any replacement must match the coil voltage, contact arrangement, mounting and application requirements.
