Finder 93.65.8.230 – 93 Series Sockets for 34 Series relays

Finder 93.65.8.230 MasterOUTPUT Relay Socket – 220–240 V AC, Push-In Terminals, 6 A, 6.2 mm DIN Rail Interface

The Finder 93.65.8.230 is a compact MasterOUTPUT relay interface socket designed for industrial automation, PLC output circuits and electrical control panels. Part of the Finder 93 Series and associated with the Finder 39 Series MasterINTERFACE range, this slimline socket provides a practical solution for connecting compatible Finder 34 Series relays to industrial control systems.

Designed for 220–240 V AC control applications, the Finder 93.65.8.230 combines push-in terminal technology, an integrated coil indication and protection circuit, and a space-saving 6.2 mm housing width. Its MasterOUTPUT configuration is intended for applications where a PLC or electronic controller operates an external relay to switch another electrical circuit.

The socket mounts directly onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail and supports convenient relay installation, retention and removal using a plastic retaining and extraction clip. With connections for a 16-way jumper link, the socket is also suitable for multi-channel relay interface assemblies where common electrical connections need to be distributed efficiently.

Important: The Finder 93.65.8.230 is a relay socket and interface base, not a complete switching relay. The compatible Finder 34 Series relay is selected separately. The complete assembly's switching characteristics depend on the installed relay and its load ratings.

What Is the Finder MasterOUTPUT Interface?

The MasterOUTPUT configuration is part of Finder's modular relay interface system. It is intended for applications where a PLC output or another electronic control signal must operate an external relay.

In a typical automation system, the PLC provides the control command, while the relay provides the electrical switching function. This arrangement allows the control electronics and the connected load circuit to be managed through a suitable relay interface.

The Finder 93.65.8.230 provides the socket, terminal connections and associated control circuitry needed to support a compatible relay in this type of application.

The MasterOUTPUT arrangement is particularly useful in control cabinets containing multiple relay output channels, such as machinery control systems, manufacturing equipment and industrial automation panels.

The actual electrical isolation and switching capabilities depend on the compatible relay and the design of the complete control system.

220–240 V AC Control Supply

The Finder 93.65.8.230 is the 220–240 V AC version of the MasterOUTPUT push-in terminal socket.

This supply configuration is suitable for appropriately designed industrial control circuits operating at nominal 230 V AC.

Finder's manufacturer selection table associates this socket with the 34.51.7.060.xx10 relay family. This is an important distinction: the relay's individual coil designation should not be interpreted independently of the complete interface socket arrangement.

The socket incorporates circuitry associated with its specified supply version. Therefore, it should not be substituted for a 24 V DC, 60 V DC or other voltage variant without confirming the manufacturer's compatibility information.

Selection note: The Finder 93.65.8.230 is specifically a 220–240 V AC MasterOUTPUT socket. It is not a universal-voltage relay socket.

Push-In Terminal Technology

The Finder 93.65.8.230 uses push-in electrical terminals, allowing suitable conductors to be connected without the conventional screw-tightening process used by many relay sockets.

This connection technology can help reduce installation time, particularly when assembling control cabinets containing numerous relay interface channels.

Push-in terminals are also useful where panel builders require a consistent and repeatable wiring method across large numbers of components.

Conductor type, preparation, cross-section and release procedure must follow Finder's instructions. Ferrules should be used where required for the conductor and terminal arrangement.

The push-in terminal design distinguishes the 93.65.8.230 from screw terminal alternatives within the wider Finder relay socket range.

Integrated Coil Indication and Protection

The Finder 93.65.8.230 includes an integrated coil indication and protection circuit, reducing the need for separate external indication and suppression components in suitable applications.

The indication function provides a visual reference associated with the relay's control supply, assisting commissioning and fault-finding.

The protection circuit is intended to manage electrical effects associated with operating the relay. Appropriate coil protection is particularly important in automation systems containing sensitive electronic controllers.

By incorporating these functions into the socket assembly, Finder provides a compact relay interface solution that simplifies control panel construction.

Important: A coil indication signal does not prove that the relay contacts have switched or that the connected equipment is energised. Where contact position or load operation must be confirmed, appropriate feedback and testing arrangements should be provided.

16-Way Jumper Links and Wiring Accessories

The Finder 93.65.8.230 includes connection points for a 16-way jumper link, making it suitable for installations containing multiple relay interface sockets.

Jumper links allow a common electrical connection to be distributed between compatible adjacent sockets, reducing the need for individual point-to-point wiring in suitable circuit arrangements.

Finder identifies the following accessory families for this socket system:

• 093.16: Blue 16-way jumper link.
• 093.16.0: Black 16-way jumper link.
• 093.16.1: Red 16-way jumper link.
• 093.62: Terminal doubler accessory.
• 060.48 and 093.48: Marker tag accessories for circuit identification.

These accessories support organised wiring and clear identification in high-density control panels.

Jumper links must only be installed between terminals intended to share the same electrical potential. The total current carried by a shared connection must remain within the manufacturer's applicable ratings.

DIN Rail Installation and Relay Assembly

The Finder 93.65.8.230 is designed for mounting on a standard 35 mm DIN rail in accordance with EN 60715.

Its 6.2 mm width allows numerous relay interface channels to be positioned alongside one another, helping maximise available space inside an industrial control cabinet.

Installation involves mounting the socket, connecting the appropriate control and output wiring, and inserting the compatible Finder relay.

The integrated plastic clip provides secure relay retention and helps simplify relay extraction during maintenance.

The socket's IP20 protection rating means it should be installed within a suitable electrical enclosure rather than exposed directly to moisture, dust or accidental contact.

Before energising the assembly, installers should verify the control voltage, relay compatibility, terminal wiring, circuit protection and connected load characteristics against the manufacturer's technical documentation.

Typical Applications

• PLC output interface circuits.
• Industrial automation control panels.
• Machinery electrical control cabinets.
• Manufacturing and production line equipment.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• Conveyor and material-handling systems.
• Automated warehouse control systems.
• Building management system control panels.
• Industrial signalling and auxiliary switching.

Finder MasterINTERFACE Socket Variants

The Finder 93 Series includes several interface socket configurations for different automation requirements. The 93.65.8.230 is specifically the MasterOUTPUT push-in terminal version for 220–240 V AC.

• Finder 93.60.8.230: MasterBASIC socket for 220–240 V AC applications.
• Finder 93.66.8.230: MasterPLUS socket for 220–240 V AC applications.
• Finder 93.67.8.230: MasterINPUT socket for 220–240 V AC applications.
• Finder 93.65.8.230: MasterOUTPUT socket for 220–240 V AC applications.
• Finder 93.65.7.024: MasterOUTPUT socket for compatible lower-voltage AC/DC applications.

Although these products belong to the same interface family, they are designed for different circuit functions. They should not be considered direct substitutes solely because their housing dimensions or relay connections appear similar.
