Why Choose the Finder 66.82.9.024.1601 Power Relay?

The Finder 66.82.9.024.1601 is a heavy-duty Series 66 electromechanical power relay designed for reliable switching of electrical loads in industrial automation, electrical control panels and commercial equipment. Combining a 24 V DC operating coil with a high-current contact system, this relay provides dependable electromagnetic switching for machinery and power control applications.

As a member of the Finder 66.82 flange-mounted relay family, this model features two normally open contacts (2 NO / DPST-NO) with an increased contact gap of at least 1.5 mm. This contact arrangement enables two independent circuits to be switched simultaneously and is particularly useful where additional open-contact separation is required.

The relay incorporates Faston 250 quick-connect terminals, a top fixing tab and reinforced insulation between the coil and contacts. Its 30 A contact rating, nominal contact voltage of 250 V AC and robust industrial construction make it suitable for high-current switching applications where the electrical load remains within the manufacturer's specified ratings.

Reliable High-Current Switching with Increased Contact Separation

The Finder 66.82.9.024.1601 operates through a DC electromagnetic coil that closes two normally open contact sets when energised. Applying the rated 24 V DC control voltage activates the relay and allows two independent electrical loads to be switched simultaneously. When the coil is de-energised, both contact sets return to their normally open positions.

A distinguishing feature of this variant is its increased open-contact gap of at least 1.5 mm. This provides additional contact separation compared with conventional configurations and supports applications where greater physical spacing between open contacts is desirable. The relay also incorporates reinforced coil-to-contact insulation and a practical flange-mounted design for integration into industrial electrical equipment.

For applications involving motors, inductive loads or DC switching, the permissible load must be checked against the relevant utilisation category and switching ratings. The increased contact gap should not be treated as a substitute for a certified safety isolator or disconnecting device.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial automation and electrical control systems.
  • 24 V DC control panels and machinery interfaces.
  • Electrical load switching requiring increased contact separation.
  • Heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment.
  • Industrial washing machines and commercial appliances.
  • Boiler, burner and industrial oven control circuits.
  • Power generation and standby generator equipment.
  • Motor control and auxiliary switching circuits.
  • Industrial machinery and production equipment.
  • OEM power control assemblies using flange-mounted relays.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Finder 66.82.9.024.1601 used for?

The Finder 66.82.9.024.1601 is a flange-mounted electromechanical power relay used to switch electrical loads in industrial automation, machinery, power control equipment and electrical panels, particularly where an increased open-contact gap is beneficial.

What coil voltage does the Finder 66.82.9.024.1601 require?

This relay operates using a 24 V DC electromagnetic coil. The increased-contact-gap DC version has a nominal coil consumption of 1.7 W and a specified operating range of approximately 16.8–26.4 V DC.

What contact configuration does the Finder 66.82.9.024.1601 have?

The relay features two normally open contacts (2 NO / DPST-NO), allowing two separate circuits to close simultaneously when the coil is energised and open when the coil is de-energised.

What is special about the increased contact gap?

The relay uses an increased open-contact gap of at least 1.5 mm. This provides greater physical separation between the contacts when open, although the relay should not automatically be considered a certified safety isolation device.

How is the Finder 66.82.9.024.1601 installed?
