Finder 097.42 – 97 Series Sockets for 46 Series relays – Accessory

Why Choose the Finder 097.42 2-Way Jumper Link?

The Finder 097.42 is a 2-way electrical jumper link designed to connect adjacent compatible Finder relay sockets and interface modules. Part of the Finder Series 97 accessory range, this compact blue jumper provides a practical method of establishing a common electrical connection between two compatible terminals without installing a separate wire link.

Featuring a 4.6 mm connection pitch and a specified rating of 10 A at 250 V, the Finder 097.42 is suitable for use with selected Finder push-in relay socket systems. Its two-way configuration enables electrical bridging between adjacent connection points, supporting organised wiring in industrial automation panels and PLC interface assemblies.

The jumper is compatible with selected Finder 95.P3, 95.P5, 97.P1 and 97.P2 push-in sockets, as well as compatible 48.P3, 48.P5, 48.P6, 48.P8, 4C.P1 and 4C.P2 relay interface modules. Its purpose-designed construction makes it a useful accessory for panel builders, automation engineers and maintenance technicians working with Finder relay systems.

Reliable Electrical Bridging for Industrial Relay Interface Systems

Industrial automation panels often contain multiple relay sockets that require a shared electrical potential. These common connections may be used for supply distribution or other circuit arrangements where several compatible terminals must be electrically linked.

The Finder 097.42 2-way jumper link provides a convenient alternative to installing a separate conductor between two adjacent compatible terminals. By using a purpose-designed jumper, panel builders can reduce individual wiring operations and create a more organised terminal arrangement.

The jumper features a 4.6 mm pitch, making it suitable for the corresponding Finder push-in terminal configurations. This dimension is important because jumper links must match the physical spacing and terminal design of the equipment in which they are installed.

With a specified electrical rating of 10 A at 250 V, the Finder 097.42 is intended for appropriately rated bridging applications. The permissible current of the complete installation must also account for the ratings of the connected sockets, conductors, terminals and associated equipment.

The Finder 097.42 is identified as an accessory for selected Series 95 and Series 97 push-in sockets and compatible Series 48 and 4C interface modules. These systems are commonly used in industrial relay and PLC interface arrangements, where compact wiring and convenient maintenance are important.

When installing the jumper, the electrical circuit should be safely isolated. The jumper must be fully inserted into the correct terminals, and the installer must confirm that the terminals are intended to share the same electrical potential. Incorrect bridging can cause short circuits or equipment damage.
