Finder 93.01.7.060 – 93 Series Sockets for 34 Series relays

Finder 93.01.7.060 Relay Socket – 48–60 V DC, 6 A, 5-Pin, DIN Rail Mounting with Screw Terminals, LED and EMC Suppression

The Finder 93.01.7.060 is a compact, professional DIN rail relay socket for Finder 34 Series relays, designed for industrial automation, electrical control panels and relay interface applications. Featuring a 48–60 V DC operating voltage range, 6 A current rating and five-pin relay connection, this socket provides a practical mounting and wiring solution for compatible miniature electromechanical relays.

Part of the Finder 93 Series, the 93.01.7.060 incorporates screw terminal connections, an integrated LED coil status indicator, an EMC suppression circuit and a convenient relay retaining and extraction lever. These features simplify relay installation, support efficient maintenance and help protect associated control electronics from electrical disturbances generated during relay switching.

Its exceptionally slim 6.2 mm-wide blue housing makes the Finder 93.01.7.060 particularly suitable for high-density industrial control cabinets. Designed for mounting on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, the socket supports compact relay interface assemblies without occupying unnecessary panel space.

The socket is specifically associated with compatible Finder 34.51 and 34.81 Series relay arrangements. It is supplied as a relay socket rather than a complete switching relay, so the appropriate relay must be selected separately according to the required coil voltage, output configuration and electrical load.

How the Finder 93.01.7.060 Relay Socket Works

The Finder 93.01.7.060 acts as the electrical and mechanical interface between a compatible miniature relay and the external control wiring. Rather than connecting wires directly to the relay pins, installers connect the wiring to the socket's screw terminals and insert the appropriate Finder relay into the socket.

When the relay's coil is energised by the connected control circuit, the relay operates and changes the state of its output contacts. These contacts can then switch suitable external electrical loads or provide control signals to other equipment.

The socket's integrated LED indication circuit provides a visual reference when the relay coil supply is energised. This helps maintenance personnel identify active control signals and troubleshoot relay interface circuits.

The integrated EMC suppression circuit is designed to reduce electrical disturbances associated with the relay coil. When an inductive coil is switched off, stored magnetic energy can produce a transient voltage. Suitable suppression helps manage this transient and can reduce interference affecting nearby electronic control equipment.

The exact suppression characteristics and switching response depend on the socket's internal circuit and the associated relay. Engineers should check the complete relay/socket combination against the relevant application requirements.

Integrated LED Indication and EMC Suppression

A distinguishing feature of the Finder 93.01.7.060 is the inclusion of both LED indication and coil EMC suppression within the socket assembly.

These features eliminate the need for a separate external indication lamp or suppression component in many standard relay interface applications, helping simplify electrical panel wiring and reduce component count.

The LED provides useful visual feedback during commissioning and maintenance. It can help identify whether the relay coil circuit is receiving its intended supply, although it does not independently verify the mechanical position or electrical continuity of the relay contacts.

The suppression circuit helps limit coil-related switching transients, supporting reliable operation in installations containing PLCs, electronic controllers and other sensitive automation equipment.

Important: The integrated indication and suppression circuit is designed for the specified 48–60 V DC operating range. A socket with a different voltage code should be selected for other coil supply voltages.

Slimline 6.2 mm Design for High-Density Control Panels

The Finder 93.01.7.060 features a compact 6.2 mm-wide housing, making it particularly suitable for industrial automation panels where DIN rail space is limited.

Multiple relay interface assemblies can be installed side by side, allowing control panel manufacturers to achieve a high density of switching channels within a compact cabinet.

This slimline construction is useful in PLC output interface applications, where numerous individual signals may need to be isolated or switched through separate relays.

The socket's blue housing provides a distinctive appearance, while the retaining and extraction lever allows the installed relay to be secured and removed conveniently during servicing.

DIN Rail Installation and Electrical Wiring

The Finder 93.01.7.060 is designed for mounting on a standard 35 mm DIN rail in accordance with EN 60715. Its slimline design allows installation alongside other modular automation components, including interface relays, terminal blocks and control equipment.

The socket uses screw terminal connections to connect the relay coil circuit and output wiring. This provides a conventional wiring arrangement for industrial electricians and control panel builders.

Once the socket has been mounted and wired, the appropriate Finder relay can be inserted into the five-pin connection. The retaining lever helps secure the relay in position and assists removal when maintenance or replacement is required.

The socket is intended for use with compatible Finder 34 Series relays. The correct relay must be selected according to the coil supply voltage, contact configuration, load characteristics and application requirements.

The socket has an IP20 protection rating and should be installed inside a suitable electrical enclosure. Wiring and installation must be undertaken by competent personnel, with the circuit isolated before work begins.

Typical Applications

• PLC input and output interface circuits.
• Industrial automation control panels.
• Compact relay switching assemblies.
• Manufacturing and production line equipment.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• Building automation control systems.
• Industrial electrical distribution cabinets.
• Machine control and auxiliary switching circuits.
• Control circuits operating at 48–60 V DC.
• Relay interfaces requiring LED status indication.
• Applications requiring integrated coil EMC suppression.

Finder 34 Series Relay Compatibility

The Finder 93.01.7.060 is designed for selected Finder 34 Series miniature relays, particularly the 34.51 relay family and compatible 34.81 variants.

The socket provides the mechanical mounting arrangement, external wiring terminals and integrated indication and suppression functions. The installed relay determines the actual switching characteristics, including the output technology and contact configuration.

When selecting a compatible relay, consider the following:

• Relay type: Confirm that the relay is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 93.01 socket.
• Coil or input voltage: Match the relay and socket indication/suppression circuit to the intended control supply.
• Output characteristics: Confirm the relay contact or solid-state output arrangement.
• Load current: Ensure the connected load does not exceed the permissible rating of the complete relay/socket assembly.
• Switching application: Consider the electrical load category, switching frequency and operating environment.

Compatibility note: Not every Finder 34 Series relay is automatically suitable for this socket. Always confirm the exact relay and socket combination against the current Finder technical documentation.
