Finder 095.18.0 – 95 Series Sockets for 40 Series relays – Accessory

Why Choose the Finder 095.18.0 Black 8-Way Jumper Link?

The Finder 095.18.0 is a genuine black 8-way jumper link designed to simplify electrical connections between compatible Finder relay sockets and interface modules. Also known as an 8-way bridging bar, relay socket jumper or comb busbar, this accessory allows multiple designated terminals to be connected to a common electrical potential without the need for individual jumper wires.

Rated at 10 A and 250 V, the Finder 095.18.0 provides eight connection positions for compatible relay socket arrangements. Its compact, comb-style construction helps create organised wiring layouts in industrial control panels, PLC interface systems, machinery control cabinets and commercial building automation installations.

The Finder 095.18.0 black jumper link is documented for use with selected Finder 95.03, 95.05, 97.01 and 97.02 relay sockets, as well as compatible Finder 48 Series screw-terminal relay interface modules. It is particularly useful where several adjacent relays require a shared coil connection or another common terminal connection specified by the socket manufacturer.

With an overall length of approximately 110.5 mm and a nominal connection spacing of 15.8 mm between the central positions, the 095.18.0 provides an efficient alternative to repetitive terminal-to-terminal wiring. It is the black version of the Finder 095.18 blue jumper link, offering the same basic eight-way bridging function and electrical ratings.

Efficient Electrical Bridging for Multiple Relay Sockets

The Finder 095.18.0 is designed for electrical installations where several compatible relay sockets require a shared connection. In industrial automation and control panels, multiple plug-in relays are often mounted side by side to control separate machines, actuators, signals or other electrical loads.

Although the relays may perform different switching functions, they can share a common electrical supply or coil return connection. Without a bridging accessory, each socket may require an individual jumper wire, increasing the number of conductors and terminal connections within the panel.

The Finder 095.18.0 black 8-way jumper link provides a dedicated method of connecting designated terminals across compatible adjacent sockets. Its eight connection positions allow a common electrical potential to be distributed across the specified relay socket arrangement.

By replacing multiple individual wire bridges with one manufacturer-designed component, the jumper can help simplify panel assembly, improve wiring consistency and make the shared connection easier to identify during inspection or maintenance.

The jumper has a rated current of 10 A and a rated voltage of 250 V. These ratings apply to the bridging accessory itself. The electrical design must also account for the ratings of the sockets, conductors, protective devices and other connected components.

Compatibility with Finder Relay Sockets and Interface Modules

The Finder 095.18.0 is intended for specific relay socket designs. Compatibility depends on the socket reference, terminal arrangement and physical connection spacing, rather than simply the relay series used in the installation.

Finder documentation identifies the 095.18.0 as the black 8-way jumper option for compatible 95.03 and 95.05 sockets. These sockets are associated with selected Finder relay configurations, including applications involving the Finder 41 Series.

The same accessory is listed for Finder 97.01 and 97.02 sockets, which are designed for selected Finder 46 Series relays. The 97 Series documentation specifically identifies the 095.18 blue version and the 095.18.0 black version as compatible 8-way jumper links.

Finder also lists the jumper for compatible 48 Series screw-terminal relay interface modules. These assemblies are frequently used in industrial control applications where compact relay interfaces connect PLC signals to external electrical loads.

Not all Finder relay sockets use the 095.18.0. Other socket ranges may require a different bridging accessory, such as the Finder 095.08. Always confirm the complete socket reference before ordering or installing the jumper.

Finder 095.18.0 Black vs Finder 095.18 Blue

The Finder 095.18.0 and Finder 095.18 are related eight-way bridging accessories. Their principal published distinction is the colour of the jumper.

Both versions are documented for compatible Finder relay socket arrangements. The black 095.18.0 may be preferred where black accessories are required for panel identification or coordination with other components. Colour alone should not be used to determine the electrical function or polarity of the connected terminals.

Installation and Electrical Safety Considerations

Before fitting the Finder 095.18.0, isolate the electrical supply and verify that the relevant circuits are de-energised. Confirm that the installed sockets are compatible with the jumper and identify the terminals to be bridged using the manufacturer's wiring diagrams.

All terminals connected by the jumper must be intended to share the same electrical potential. Connecting unrelated supplies or different circuit potentials together can create a short circuit, damage equipment or introduce a serious electrical hazard.

The jumper should be fitted only to the designated connection positions and must not be forced into incompatible terminals. Check that the socket spacing and terminal geometry match the manufacturer's specified arrangement.

When several circuits share a common connection, the total current through the bridging accessory must remain within its 10 A rating. The rating of the complete assembly may be lower if any socket, conductor or connected component has a more restrictive limit.

The Finder 095.18.0 is not a fuse, circuit breaker, isolator or switching device. It provides a continuous electrical connection between the bridged terminals and must be treated as potentially live whenever the associated circuit is energised.
