Finder 77.B1.9.024.8650 – 77 Series Modular solid state relays

Why Choose the Finder 77.B1.9.024.8650 Solid State Relay?

The Finder 77.B1.9.024.8650 is a 40 A single-phase solid state relay (SSR) designed for contactless switching of AC electrical loads in industrial automation, process heating and machinery control applications. Part of the Finder Series 77, this relay features a hockey puck-style housing for mounting onto a suitable control cabinet surface or heatsink.

Featuring a 3–32 V DC control input and a 24–660 V AC load switching range, the Finder 77.B1.9.024.8650 provides an interface between low-voltage DC control equipment and AC electrical loads. Its single normally open semiconductor output (1 NO / SPST-NO) supports a maximum load current of 40 A, subject to suitable heat dissipation and the manufacturer's operating limits.

The relay incorporates zero-cross switching, allowing conduction to begin near the AC voltage zero crossing to help reduce switching disturbances with suitable loads. Its silent, contactless operation, protected screw terminals and IP20 construction make it suitable for professionally designed industrial electrical control assemblies.

Reliable High-Voltage AC Switching for Industrial Heating and Automation

The Finder 77.B1.9.024.8650 provides semiconductor switching of AC electrical loads using a low-voltage DC control signal. Applying a suitable voltage within its 3–32 V DC input range activates the output, enabling compatible PLCs, temperature controllers and automation systems to control AC equipment without relying on mechanically operated relay contacts.

Its 24–660 V AC load switching range makes it suitable for a variety of industrial supply arrangements, provided the connected equipment remains within the specified voltage and current limits. The zero-cross switching characteristic is particularly useful for compatible resistive heating loads, where initiating conduction close to the AC voltage zero crossing can help reduce switching disturbances.

As a 40 A solid state relay, the Finder 77.B1.9.024.8650 requires appropriate thermal management. The maximum permissible load current depends on ambient temperature, heatsink performance, load characteristics and installation conditions. Suitable upstream protection, conductor sizing and manufacturer-specified derating must be considered. Solid state relays can also exhibit off-state leakage current, so a separate isolating device is necessary wherever safe electrical isolation is required.
