77.01.9.024.8051 Finder relay 5A output 1pole DC 6/24V DC 24V DC

Why Choose the Finder 77.01.9.024.8051 Solid State Relay?

The Finder 77.01.9.024.8051 is a compact 5 A solid state relay (SSR) designed for fast, contactless switching of single-phase AC electrical loads. Part of the Finder Series 77 modular solid state relay range, this industrial switching device combines a 24 V DC nominal control input, a 48–265 V AC output switching range and random turn-on technology in a slim DIN rail mounted housing.

Unlike zero-crossing solid state relays, the Finder 77.01.9.024.8051 uses random turn-on switching, allowing the output to begin conducting without waiting for the next AC voltage zero crossing. This makes it particularly useful for applications requiring fast switching response, including certain motor control arrangements, phase-angle control systems and industrial automation circuits.

Featuring a 4–32 V DC operating input range, a 5 A rated AC output and a 17.5 mm wide modular housing, this photo-coupled semiconductor relay provides a practical alternative to conventional electromechanical relays. Its silent operation, lack of moving power contacts and straightforward DIN rail installation make it suitable for industrial machinery, building automation and electrical control panels.

Fast Random Turn-On Switching for Industrial AC Control

The Finder 77.01.9.024.8051 uses a photo-coupled semiconductor switching mechanism to control an AC electrical load from a low-voltage DC signal. When a compatible control voltage is applied within the 4–32 V DC input range, the relay can activate its output without waiting for the next AC voltage zero crossing. This random turn-on characteristic provides greater flexibility for applications requiring rapid switching response or control at selected points in an AC waveform.

Random turn-on switching is particularly useful in certain motor control, phase-angle control and industrial automation applications. Unlike a zero-crossing relay, which delays activation until the AC voltage approaches zero, a random turn-on relay can respond at different points in the waveform. This behaviour can be beneficial when used with suitable electronic controllers, although the connected load and switching method must be carefully assessed.

The Finder 77.01.9.024.8051 provides a 5 A rated output over a 48–265 V AC switching range. It also has a specified 300 A peak current capability for 10 ms, which describes short-duration surge withstand rather than continuous current capacity. Loads with significant inrush current, including motors, transformers and some lighting equipment, require particular attention to surge ratings and thermal performance.

Because the device uses solid state switching technology, it operates without mechanical contacts, contact bounce or the audible clicking associated with conventional electromechanical relays. This makes it suitable for installations where silent switching and frequent operation are desirable. However, semiconductor switching devices generate heat during conduction, and the permissible load current may depend on ambient temperature and installation conditions.

The relay is housed in a compact 17.5 mm wide DIN rail module with screw terminal connections, allowing convenient integration into industrial electrical cabinets. The input and output circuits are electrically separated through the relay's photo-coupled design, supporting control from compatible low-voltage automation equipment.

As with other solid state relays, the Finder 77.01.9.024.8051 may allow a small leakage current when switched off. It does not provide the physical contact separation required for safety isolation and must not be used as the sole means of isolating equipment for maintenance. Appropriate circuit protection, thermal management and mechanical isolation must be provided where required.
