Finder 62.33.9.032.0040 – 62 Series Power relays

Why Choose the Finder 62.33.9.032.0040 Industrial Power Relay?

The Finder 62.33.9.032.0040 is a robust 16 A, 32 V DC industrial power relay designed for dependable electrical switching in industrial automation, machinery control and electrical control panels. Part of the Finder Series 62 power relay range, this electromechanical relay combines three changeover contacts with a plug-in mounting arrangement and convenient manual testing features.

Featuring a three-pole double-throw (3PDT, 3 CO) contact configuration, the Finder 62.33.9.032.0040 allows three independent electrical circuits to be switched using a single electromagnetic coil. Its 32 V DC nominal coil voltage makes it suitable for equipment specifically designed around this control voltage, while its 16 A rated contacts at 250 V AC provide substantial switching capacity for industrial electrical loads.

The 0040 variant features a lockable manual test button and mechanical flag indicator, making it particularly useful for equipment commissioning, maintenance and fault-finding. Its plug-in construction is designed for compatible Finder Series 92 relay sockets, allowing straightforward installation and replacement in suitably designed control panels.

Dependable Three-Pole Switching for 32 V DC Control Systems

The Finder 62.33.9.032.0040 operates using an electromagnetic coil that actuates three mechanically linked changeover contacts. When the 32 V DC coil is energised, the contacts transfer from their normally closed positions to their normally open positions. When coil power is removed, the contacts return to their normal positions during standard operation.

The 3PDT contact configuration makes the relay suitable for applications requiring several electrical switching functions from a single control signal. For example, one contact may operate an auxiliary load, another may control a signalling circuit and the third may provide an electrical interlocking function. The three contact circuits are electrically separate, offering flexibility when designing industrial control equipment.

With a 16 A rated contact current and 4,000 VA AC1 switching capacity, this Finder Series 62 power relay is suitable for substantial resistive switching duties. The permissible switching current may be lower for motors, inductive loads, transformers and other equipment with significant inrush currents. Engineers should assess the actual load characteristics and applicable switching category before selecting the relay.

Lockable Manual Test Button and Mechanical Flag Indicator

The Finder 62.33.9.032.0040 includes a manual test button that allows the relay contacts to be actuated without energising the coil. This provides a convenient method of checking the operation of connected control circuits during commissioning, inspection and fault-finding.

Finder's dual-purpose test mechanism can be used for momentary testing or, after deliberate removal of the retaining feature in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, locking operation. In its normal configuration, pressing the button operates the contacts and releasing it allows them to return to their previous positions. When configured for locking, the button can be pressed and rotated to maintain the contacts in their actuated positions until manually released.

The integrated mechanical flag indicator provides visual feedback of the relay's mechanical position. This is particularly useful in control panels containing several relays, where maintenance personnel may need to identify which devices are actuated.

Manual operation can switch connected circuits independently of the coil supply. The test mechanism should therefore only be used under appropriate electrical safety procedures, and the button must be returned to its normal position after testing.

Convenient Plug-In Installation with Finder Series 92 Sockets

The Finder 62.33.9.032.0040 uses a plug-in terminal arrangement designed for compatible Finder Series 92 relay sockets. This allows the relay to be installed into suitable electrical control panels without soldering it directly to a printed circuit board.

Plug-in mounting can simplify servicing because the relay may be removed and replaced without disturbing the permanent socket wiring. This is particularly useful for industrial machinery and automation equipment where maintenance access and component replacement are important.

Suitable Series 92 socket and mounting accessory combinations can support DIN rail or panel installation, depending on the selected components. The correct socket must be matched to the Type 62.33 terminal arrangement and the electrical requirements of the installation.

Because this model uses a 32 V DC coil, it must not be treated as interchangeable with otherwise similar 24 V DC or 48 V DC versions without checking the control supply and equipment requirements.
