Finder 62.32.9.036.0040 – 62 Series Power relays

Why Choose the Finder 62.32.9.036.0040 Industrial Power Relay?

The Finder 62.32.9.036.0040 is a robust 16 A, two-pole changeover (DPDT) industrial power relay designed for electrical switching, machinery control and industrial automation applications. Part of the established Finder 62 Series, it combines dependable electromagnetic switching with a practical plug-in construction and integrated manual testing facilities.

Featuring a 36 V DC operating coil and two independent changeover contacts, the Finder 62.32.9.036.0040 allows two electrical circuits to be switched simultaneously from one control signal. Its lockable test button and mechanical flag indicator provide convenient manual actuation and visual confirmation of relay operation during commissioning, inspection and maintenance.

With a 250 V AC rated contact voltage, 4,000 VA AC1 switching capacity and silver-cadmium oxide (AgCdO) contacts, this relay is suitable for demanding general-purpose electrical control applications. Its plug-in terminal arrangement supports installation in compatible Finder 92 Series relay sockets, making it a practical choice for control panel construction and replacement relay applications.

Reliable 36 V DC Switching with Manual Testing and Mechanical Indication

The Finder 62.32.9.036.0040 operates through an electromagnetic coil energised by a 36 V DC control supply. When the coil is energised, its two changeover contact sets transfer to their operated positions. When the coil supply is removed, the contacts return to their normal states.

The DPDT contact arrangement provides two electrically independent switching circuits within one relay. Each changeover contact includes a common terminal, a normally closed contact and a normally open contact. This configuration supports electrical interlocking, machine sequencing, auxiliary switching and signalling functions where two circuits must respond to a common control signal.

The .0040 option incorporates a lockable test button and mechanical flag indicator. With the locking feature inactive, pressing the test button momentarily operates the contacts. The button can also be configured to latch the contacts in the operated position for controlled testing. Manual actuation must be performed only under appropriate electrical safety procedures because connected load circuits may remain energised.

Unlike versions fitted with LED indication or diode suppression, the .0040 configuration specifically identifies the manual test button and mechanical indicator arrangement. This distinction is important when selecting a replacement relay or specifying additional coil indication and suppression components.

The relay's 16 A contact rating and 4,000 VA AC1 switching capacity make it suitable for a broad range of general-purpose electrical loads. For inductive loads, motors and DC circuits, the appropriate load-specific switching ratings and protective arrangements must be considered.
