Finder 095.31 – 95 Series Sockets for 40 Series relays – Accessory

Why Choose the Finder 095.31 Metal Retaining Clip?

The Finder 095.31 is a metal retaining clip designed to secure compatible Finder relays in their sockets. Part of the Finder Series 95 socket accessory range, it is specifically associated with the Finder 95.65 socket for Series 41 relays, providing a practical mechanical retention solution for industrial electrical and automation installations.

Plug-in relays are widely used in control panels, machinery and automation systems because they can be replaced without disconnecting the socket wiring. However, reliable mechanical retention is important where equipment may experience vibration, movement or regular maintenance. The Finder 095.31 helps hold the installed relay securely in its compatible socket, reducing the likelihood of unintended displacement.

Manufactured as a dedicated metal retention accessory, the Finder 095.31 is suitable for original equipment assembly, control panel maintenance and replacement of existing retaining clips. Its purpose-made construction supports straightforward installation and reliable relay positioning without introducing additional electrical switching components.

Reliable Mechanical Retention for Plug-In Relay Assemblies

Plug-in relay systems provide a convenient approach to electrical control because a relay can be removed and replaced while the associated socket remains connected to the installation. This arrangement simplifies maintenance and allows faulty or worn relays to be exchanged without extensive rewiring.

For dependable operation, the relay must remain correctly seated in its socket. Equipment vibration, accidental contact or mechanical movement can potentially disturb an inadequately retained relay. A suitable retaining clip provides additional mechanical security by holding the relay in its intended installed position.

The Finder 095.31 metal retaining clip is designed for the Finder 95.65 socket associated with compatible Series 41 relays. It provides a purpose-made mechanical retention solution, helping preserve the intended engagement between the relay and socket contacts.

The retaining clip is a passive mechanical accessory. It does not change the relay's contact arrangement, switching capacity, coil voltage or electrical protection characteristics. These specifications remain determined by the installed relay and socket combination.

During installation, the relay should be fully seated and the clip correctly engaged according to Finder's instructions. Before removing or replacing a relay, the associated circuit should be safely isolated and the clip released without damaging the relay housing or socket.
