Why Choose the Finder 56.34.9.250.2000 Miniature Power Relay?
The Finder 56.34.9.250.2000 is a robust four-pole changeover (4PDT) industrial electromagnetic power relay designed for reliable electrical switching in industrial automation, machinery control and electrical distribution systems. As part of the established Finder 56 Series miniature power relay range, it combines high-current switching capability with a compact plug-in construction suitable for demanding industrial applications.
Featuring a 250 V DC nominal coil voltage identified by its ordering code and four changeover contacts rated at 12 A, the Finder 56.34.9.250.2000 is designed to control multiple independent electrical circuits through a single electromagnetic switching mechanism. Its four-pole configuration makes it particularly useful in industrial control systems requiring simultaneous operation of several electrical contacts.
The Finder 56.34 relay family provides a 250 V AC rated contact voltage, a maximum switching voltage of 400 V AC and a rated AC1 switching capacity of 3,000 VA. The 56.34.9.250.2000 ordering configuration identifies silver-cadmium oxide (AgCdO) contacts and a standard relay arrangement without additional indication or test-button options. Its plug-in construction enables straightforward installation into compatible Finder 96 Series relay sockets.

Reliable High-Current Switching for Industrial Control Systems
The Finder 56.34.9.250.2000 uses an electromagnetic coil to actuate four independent changeover contacts. When the appropriate DC control voltage is applied to the coil, the relay switches its contacts from their normal positions to their energised positions. When the coil is de-energised, the contacts return to their original states.
Its four-pole changeover arrangement allows several independent electrical circuits to be controlled from a single switching signal. This is particularly useful in industrial automation, machinery sequencing, electrical interlocking and auxiliary power control applications where multiple contact functions must operate together.
The 12 A rated contact system provides substantial switching capability for a compact industrial relay. Its silver-cadmium oxide contacts are intended for dependable electrical switching, while the Finder 56 Series design supports applications involving industrial equipment, control circuits and electrical distribution systems. Contact loading must remain within the applicable AC or DC switching ratings.
The relay's plug-in construction simplifies maintenance and replacement. When installed in a compatible Finder 96 Series socket, the relay can be removed without disconnecting the permanent field wiring attached to the socket. This supports efficient servicing of industrial electrical panels and machinery control equipment.
