Reliable 125 V AC Switching for Industrial Control Applications

The Finder 40.61.8.125.0000 provides an effective means of controlling electrical loads using a 125 V AC control circuit. Its single-pole changeover arrangement enables switching between normally open and normally closed contact paths, supporting a wide range of industrial control, signalling and automation functions.

With a 16 A contact rating and compact PCB-mounted construction, this relay is suitable for applications where switching capability and efficient use of installation space are important. Its electromechanical design enables a control circuit to operate a separate load circuit without requiring a direct electrical connection between the coil and contacts.

For reliable operation, the connected load, switching frequency, contact utilisation category and control supply must remain within the manufacturer's specified operating limits. In particular, inductive loads and loads with high inrush currents may require additional consideration when selecting the relay.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial electrical control panels.
  • Automation and machinery control systems.
  • Printed circuit board switching assemblies.
  • Electrical equipment and appliance control.
  • Control and signalling circuits.
  • Auxiliary switching and interlocking applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Finder 40.61.8.125.0000 used for?

The Finder 40.61.8.125.0000 is a miniature electromagnetic power relay used for electrical switching in industrial control systems, automation equipment, electronic assemblies and electrical control panels.

What coil voltage does the Finder 40.61.8.125.0000 require?

The relay is designed for a nominal coil voltage of 125 V AC. It should be operated using a compatible alternating-current control supply within the manufacturer's specified operating limits.

What is the contact rating of the Finder 40.61.8.125.0000?

The Finder 40.61 relay features a 16 A rated contact current and a 250 V AC nominal contact rating. The permissible switching load depends on the load characteristics, operating conditions and applicable manufacturer specifications.

What contact configuration does the Finder 40.61.8.125.0000 have?

The relay has a single-pole double-throw (SPDT / 1 CO) contact configuration, providing one changeover contact with normally open and normally closed switching functions.

Can the Finder 40.61.8.125.0000 replace a 120 V AC relay?

Not automatically. The Finder 40.61.8.125.0000 has a 125 V AC nominal coil, so compatibility with a 120 V AC relay must be checked against the manufacturer's coil operating range, contact ratings, terminal arrangement and complete ordering code before replacement.
