Reliable Interface Switching for Industrial Automation

Interface relays such as the Finder Series 48 provide a practical connection between control equipment and electrical loads. When the electromagnetic coil is energised, the changeover contacts switch position, allowing a control signal to operate a separate electrical circuit. This makes interface relays particularly useful for connecting PLC outputs, industrial controllers and automation equipment to external switching circuits.

The Finder 48.P6 interface relay system is designed for efficient installation and maintenance in industrial control panels. Its push-in terminals provide convenient wiring connections, while the integrated supply status indication helps engineers identify energised relay circuits. The built-in EMC coil suppression module helps minimise switching interference, and the slimline DIN rail construction allows multiple interface modules to be installed efficiently within electrical cabinets.

For applications involving contact currents above 10 A, the manufacturer's wiring arrangement requires the corresponding contact terminals to be connected in parallel. This requirement must be followed when using the module at its full 16 A rating.

Typical Applications

  • PLC output interfacing and industrial automation systems.
  • Electrical control panels and DIN rail-mounted switching assemblies.
  • Industrial machinery and equipment control circuits.
  • Building automation and building management systems.
  • Motor control and auxiliary switching applications.
  • HVAC control and electrical equipment switching.
  • OEM machine building and electrical panel manufacturing.
  • Control circuit isolation and signal interfacing.
