Finder 62.33.8.208.4006 – 62 Series Power relays

Why Choose the Finder 62.33.8.208.4006 Power Relay?

The Finder 62.33.8.208.4006 is a 16 A industrial electromechanical power relay from the Finder 62 Series, designed for machinery control, industrial automation and electrical switching applications. Combining a three-pole changeover contact arrangement with a 208 V AC operating coil, this relay provides a practical solution for controlling multiple electrical circuits from a single control signal.

Featuring three changeover contacts (3 CO / 3PDT) and a plug-in connection arrangement, the Finder 62.33 is particularly suited to electrical control panels and industrial equipment where serviceability, flexible circuit switching and reliable electromagnetic operation are important.

The Finder 62.33 relay family offers a 16 A rated contact current, 250 V AC rated switching voltage and 4,000 VA AC1 resistive switching capacity. The .4006 variant belongs to the silver tin oxide (AgSnO₂) contact family, providing a contact material suited to appropriately rated industrial switching applications.

Product selection note: The exact 62.33.8.208.4006 suffix combination should be confirmed against Finder's variant-specific documentation before ordering. The principal electrical ratings below are based on the Finder 62.33 relay family and documented related configurations; special-option details are not assumed where they cannot be confirmed.

Three-Pole Changeover Switching for Industrial Automation

The Finder 62.33.8.208.4006 uses an electromagnetic operating mechanism to switch three mechanically linked changeover contacts. When the appropriate 208 V AC control voltage is applied to the coil, each common contact transfers from its normally closed terminal to its normally open terminal.

When the coil is de-energised, the relay automatically returns to its normal position. This monostable operation makes the relay suitable for electrical control applications where the switching state must follow the presence or absence of a control signal.

The 3 CO / 3PDT configuration allows three separate circuits to be switched simultaneously. This is useful for applications such as auxiliary machinery control, multiple control outputs, signal changeover and status indication.

Although all three contact sets operate together, they provide separate switching paths. Each connected circuit must remain within the applicable contact ratings, and the relay must not be used as a substitute for a safety-rated contactor or isolation device unless the complete application has been appropriately assessed.

Silver Tin Oxide Contacts for Demanding Electrical Loads

The .4 contact material designation identifies a silver tin oxide (AgSnO₂) contact configuration. AgSnO₂ contacts are commonly used where resistance to contact welding and performance under demanding switching conditions are important.

These characteristics can make the relay suitable for appropriately rated industrial loads with challenging switching behaviour. However, contact material alone does not determine whether a relay can safely switch a particular motor, transformer, solenoid or electronic load.

For loads with high starting or inrush currents, the installer should consider the actual current waveform, switching frequency, power factor and required service life. The relay's 16 A nominal contact rating must not be confused with its short-duration peak-current capability.

Plug-In Installation and 208 V AC Coil Selection

The Finder 62.33 relay features Faston 187 terminals and can be installed using an appropriate Finder 92 Series relay socket. Socket mounting provides a convenient interface for panel wiring and can simplify relay replacement during maintenance.

Where a compatible DIN rail socket is selected, the relay can be incorporated into a standard industrial control cabinet. The relay itself does not clip directly onto the DIN rail.

The 208 V AC coil voltage is an important selection characteristic. It must be matched to the control circuit and should not be confused with the relay's 250 V AC rated contact switching voltage. A 208 V AC coil version should not be assumed interchangeable with 120 V or 230 V versions.

The exact .4006 special configuration, including any optional mechanical features, should be checked against the original Finder part marking or variant-specific datasheet before replacing an existing relay.
