Why Choose the Finder 66.82.9.012.1600 Power Relay?

The Finder 66.82.9.012.1600 is a high-current 30 A electromagnetic power relay designed for reliable electrical switching in industrial automation, power management and electrical control equipment. Featuring a 12 V DC operating coil, two normally open contacts (2 NO / DPST-NO) and a contact gap of at least 1.5 mm, this relay provides dependable two-pole switching for applications requiring defined contact separation.

As part of the established Finder Series 66 power relay range, the 66.82.9.012.1600 combines substantial contact current capacity with a robust flange-mounted design and Faston 250 quick-connect terminals. Its two normally open contacts operate together when the DC coil is energised, allowing two independent circuits or conductors to be switched through a common control signal.

The 66.82.9.012.1600 belongs to the Series 66 special contact-gap family, developed for switching applications where increased separation between open contacts is important. With a 12 V DC coil, 30 A nominal contact rating and 250 V AC nominal switching voltage, it is suitable for industrial machinery, electrical power control assemblies and appropriately designed renewable energy equipment.

Reliable High-Current Switching with Increased Contact Separation

The Finder 66.82.9.012.1600 uses an electromagnetic mechanism to control two normally open power contacts. When the 12 V DC coil is energised, the relay closes both contact circuits, allowing electrical loads to operate. When the coil supply is removed, the contacts return to their normally open positions.

A distinguishing characteristic of the Finder 66.82 x60x range is its minimum 1.5 mm open-contact gap. This design provides greater contact separation than conventional relay configurations and is particularly relevant to applications where defined switching isolation is required. The Series 66 x60x family has been developed with reference to switching requirements encountered in solar inverter and renewable energy equipment.

The relay's flange-mounted construction and Faston 250 terminals support installation into industrial electrical assemblies, while reinforced coil-to-contact insulation helps maintain separation between the control supply and switched circuits. For renewable energy, motor or other demanding applications, the complete system must be assessed for the required isolation function, switching duty, fault protection, electrical endurance and applicable standards.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial machinery and automation control systems.
  • Electrical load switching and power control equipment.
  • Solar inverter and renewable energy switching assemblies.
  • Power conversion and energy management equipment.
  • Industrial heating and temperature control systems.
  • Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment.
  • OEM machinery using 12 V DC control circuits.
  • Electrical control panels and auxiliary power switching assemblies.
  • Industrial process control and manufacturing equipment.
  • Applications requiring two normally open contacts with a defined minimum contact gap.
