Why Choose the Finder 66.82.8.240.1000 Power Relay?

The Finder 66.82.8.240.1000 is a 30 A electromechanical power relay from the Finder 66 Series, designed for switching high-current electrical loads in industrial automation, heating equipment, machinery and power control systems. Its flange-mounted construction and Faston quick-connect terminals provide a practical solution for integration into electrical panels and OEM equipment.

Featuring a 240 V AC operating coil and two changeover contacts (2 CO / DPDT), the relay enables two circuits to be switched between normally closed and normally open positions through a single control signal. The changeover configuration provides flexibility for electrical control, load transfer and auxiliary switching applications.

The Finder 66 Series combines a 30 A normally open contact rating, a 10 A normally closed contact rating and reinforced insulation between the coil and contacts. With a rated contact voltage of 250 V AC and a maximum switching voltage of 440 V AC, the 66.82.8.240.1000 is suited to appropriately rated industrial electrical switching duties.

Key Advantages

  • 30 A normally open contact rating for high-current electrical switching.
  • 240 V AC coil for compatible AC-powered control systems.
  • Two-pole changeover contacts provide flexible switching between two contact positions.
  • Flange mounting enables secure mechanical installation.
  • Faston 250 quick-connect terminals support straightforward wiring and maintenance.
  • Reinforced insulation separates the coil and contact circuits.
  • 8 mm creepage and clearance distances between coil and contacts.
  • 6 kV impulse withstand voltage between coil and contacts.
  • Suitable for industrial control panels, equipment manufacturers and electrical automation systems.

Key Features

  • Finder 66 Series electromechanical power relay.
  • 240 V AC nominal coil voltage.
  • 50/60 Hz AC coil operation.
  • 2 CO (DPDT) contact arrangement.
  • 30 A normally open contacts and 10 A normally closed contacts.
  • 250 V AC rated contact voltage.
  • 440 V AC maximum switching voltage.
  • 3.6 VA nominal AC coil consumption at 50 Hz.
  • Flange-mounted construction with Faston 250 terminals.
  • Non-latching electromagnetic operation.
  • Reinforced insulation between control and load circuits.
  • Suitable for switching resistive loads and appropriately rated inductive loads.

High-Current Switching for Industrial Control Systems

Electromechanical power relays allow a control circuit to operate electrical loads through mechanically actuated contacts. When the 240 V AC coil of the Finder 66.82.8.240.1000 is energised, its two changeover contacts transfer from their normally closed positions to their normally open positions. When coil power is removed, the contacts return to their original states.

This switching arrangement is useful for machinery control, electrical load selection, heating equipment and auxiliary control circuits. The relay's flange-mounted construction allows installation on a suitable mounting surface, while Faston terminals facilitate wiring. Contact ratings must be assessed against the actual load type, particularly where motors, transformers or other inductive equipment produce elevated starting currents.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial automation and electrical control panels.
  • Heating equipment, boilers and industrial ovens.
  • HVAC and ventilation control systems.
  • Electrical load switching and management.
  • Industrial machinery and OEM equipment.
  • Power distribution and auxiliary control circuits.
  • Commercial appliances and electrical equipment.
  • Motor auxiliary switching within the applicable contact ratings.
  • Power management and control assemblies.
  • Electrical equipment requiring two-pole changeover switching.
