Reliable 120 V AC Control Switching with Push-In Technology

The Finder 48.P6.8.120.1060SPA is designed to provide an electrically isolated switching interface between a 120 V AC control circuit and a separate electrical load. When the relay coil is energised, the internal electromagnetic mechanism transfers the common contact from the normally closed position to the normally open position. Removing the control voltage allows the relay to return to its original state.

The module's push-in terminal system helps streamline wiring during electrical panel manufacture and maintenance. Its 15.8 mm width allows multiple interface relays to be installed efficiently on a standard DIN rail, while the integrated supply indication helps technicians identify when the control circuit is energised.

The SPA plastic retaining clip provides an instant relay-ejection function, allowing the plug-in relay to be removed more conveniently during servicing. The module also incorporates an EMC coil suppression arrangement to help limit electrical disturbances associated with switching. For load currents exceeding 10 A, the specified contact terminals must be connected in parallel as directed by Finder.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial automation and PLC interface systems.
  • 120 V AC industrial control circuits.
