Why Choose the Finder 97.P1SMA Push-In Relay Socket?
The Finder 97.P1SMA is a 5-pin, single-pole industrial relay socket designed for compatible Finder 46.61 electromechanical relays. Part of the Finder 97 Series, it combines screwless push-in terminal technology, a compact blue housing and a metal retaining clip to provide a practical relay connection solution for industrial automation and electrical control panels.
With rated socket values of 10 A at 250 V AC, the Finder 97.P1SMA is suitable for appropriately rated auxiliary switching and control circuits. Its 35 mm DIN rail or panel mounting arrangement provides installation flexibility, while the push-in terminals help reduce wiring time compared with conventional screw terminal connections.
The SMA configuration includes the Finder 097.71 metal retaining clip, which helps secure the installed relay in position. The socket also supports selected Finder 99.02 indication and EMC suppression modules, Finder 86.30 timer modules and compatible jumper links, making it a versatile interface for professional control panel assemblies.

Reliable Push-In Relay Connections for Industrial Automation
The Finder 97.P1SMA provides the electrical and mechanical interface between a compatible Finder 46.61 plug-in relay and the external control circuit. Its five connection positions accommodate the relay coil and single-changeover contact terminals, allowing the installed relay to perform its specified switching function.
The screwless push-in terminal system enables suitable conductors to be connected without conventional terminal tightening screws. The socket can be installed on a standard 35 mm DIN rail or mounted directly onto a suitable panel, making it useful for both new equipment assembly and replacement applications.
The supplied Finder 097.71 metal retaining clip helps secure the relay within the socket. Because the relay is removable, maintenance personnel can replace a compatible relay without dismantling the fixed terminal wiring, provided the electrical circuit has first been safely isolated.
Optional Finder 99.02 Series modules can provide indication or EMC suppression, while compatible 86.30 timer modules can add timing functions to suitable relay assemblies. Finder 097.42 and 097.52 two-way jumper links provide additional wiring flexibility.
The socket itself does not independently switch electrical loads or determine the relay coil voltage. These characteristics depend on the installed Finder 46.61 relay. The complete assembly must remain within the electrical ratings of both the relay and socket.
