Finder 095.18 – 95 Series Sockets for 40 Series relays – Accessory

Why Choose the Finder 095.18 8-Way Jumper Link?

The Finder 095.18 is a genuine 8-way jumper link, also known as a relay socket bridging bar or comb busbar, designed to simplify common electrical connections across compatible Finder relay sockets. Part of the Finder 95 Series socket accessory range, this blue jumper provides a convenient method of distributing a shared electrical connection to multiple relay socket terminals.

Rated at 10 A and 250 V, the Finder 095.18 allows up to eight compatible relay sockets to be linked using a single bridging accessory. This helps reduce the need for individual jumper wires, creating a neater and more consistent wiring arrangement in electrical control panels, industrial automation systems and machinery control cabinets.

The Finder 095.18 blue jumper link is suitable for selected Finder 95 Series sockets, including 95.03 and 95.05, and compatible socket arrangements used with Finder 40, 44 and 86 Series equipment. Finder documentation also identifies applications involving 97.01 and 97.02 sockets and selected 48 Series relay interface assemblies. Compatibility depends on the socket design and terminal arrangement rather than the relay series alone.

With an overall length of approximately 110.5 mm and a connection pitch of 15.8 mm, the 095.18 provides an efficient solution for linking adjacent compatible sockets. It is particularly useful where multiple relays require a common coil connection or another shared terminal connection permitted by the manufacturer's wiring arrangement.

Efficient 8-Way Bridging for Relay Socket Assemblies

The Finder 095.18 is designed to simplify wiring when several compatible relay sockets require a shared electrical connection. In industrial control panels, it is common to install multiple plug-in relays next to one another. These relays may share a common supply or coil return connection, making repetitive terminal-to-terminal wiring necessary when no bridging accessory is used.

The 8-way jumper link provides a dedicated electrical connection across up to eight compatible socket positions. Its comb-style arrangement allows the installer to connect the designated terminals using one accessory instead of installing a separate jumper wire between every adjacent socket.

Finder identifies the 095.18 as suitable for commoning the A2 terminals of compatible screw-terminal sockets. This can be particularly useful in relay control circuits where multiple coils share a common connection. The precise terminal function must always be checked against the socket wiring diagram before fitting the jumper.

The jumper is rated at 10 A and 250 V. These are the electrical ratings of the bridging accessory itself and must not be interpreted as permission to exceed the ratings of the relay sockets, conductors or other connected equipment. The current carried by the common connection must remain within the permissible rating of the complete assembly.

By reducing the number of individual wire links, the Finder 095.18 can support more consistent wiring and easier visual inspection. It is particularly useful in repetitive relay interface arrangements where several adjacent circuits share the same electrical potential.

Compatibility with Finder Relay Sockets and Interface Modules

The Finder 095.18 is a socket accessory, so compatibility is determined primarily by the socket reference, terminal arrangement and physical spacing. It should not be selected solely because a relay belongs to a particular Finder series.

Finder technical documentation identifies the jumper for compatible 95.03 and 95.05 sockets, which are associated with selected Finder 40 Series relays. The same 8-way jumper arrangement is also documented for 97.01 and 97.02 sockets, associated with Finder 46 Series relay equipment.

Additional Finder documentation identifies the 095.18 for compatible 48 Series screw-terminal relay interface modules and selected socket arrangements associated with Finder 44 and 86 Series equipment.

Where multiple socket types are installed within the same electrical panel, verify that all intended terminals have the correct 15.8 mm spacing and are approved for use with the jumper. The accessory must only bridge terminals that are intended to be electrically common.

The Finder 095.18.0 is a related black jumper link variant. Although the two versions share a similar application, the exact product reference should be selected according to the manufacturer's socket documentation and the requirements of the installation.

Installation and Electrical Safety Considerations

Before installing the Finder 095.18, isolate the electrical supply and verify that the relevant circuits are de-energised. Identify the terminals to be connected using the manufacturer's socket wiring diagram, ensuring that every terminal bridged by the jumper is intended to share the same electrical potential.

The jumper should be fitted only to compatible sockets and positioned according to the applicable Finder instructions. Its eight connection positions are intended for the specified socket arrangement and should not be forced into sockets with incompatible spacing or terminal construction.

When designing the circuit, consider the total current flowing through the common connection. The 10 A rating applies to the jumper and does not override lower ratings elsewhere in the assembly. Appropriate overcurrent protection and conductor sizing must be provided as required by the complete installation.

The Finder 095.18 is not a fuse, circuit breaker, isolator or switching device. It creates an electrical connection between designated terminals and should be treated as an energised conductor whenever the connected circuit is live.
