Finder 094.71 – 94 Series Sockets for 55 Series relays – Accessory

Why Choose the Finder 094.71 Metal Retaining Clip?

The Finder 094.71 is a durable metal retaining clip designed to secure compatible Finder relays in their sockets. Part of the Finder 94 Series socket accessory range, this practical hold-down clip helps maintain a secure mechanical connection between the relay and socket in industrial automation, electrical control panels and machinery installations.

Designed primarily for Finder 55 Series miniature relays installed in compatible 94 Series sockets, the Finder 094.71 helps prevent unintended relay movement or dislodgement. It is particularly useful in control cabinets and industrial equipment where routine maintenance, handling or mechanical vibration could otherwise affect the seating of a plug-in relay.

The Finder 094.71 relay retaining clip is compatible with several Finder socket configurations, including the 94.02, 94.03, 94.04, 94.72, 94.73 and 94.74 families. Its compact metal construction provides a straightforward mechanical retention solution without adding electrical connections or altering the relay's switching characteristics.

Secure Mechanical Retention for Finder Relay Sockets

The Finder 094.71 is designed to hold a compatible plug-in relay securely in its socket. Once the relay is correctly inserted, the metal retaining clip engages with the designated socket retention points to help prevent the relay from being unintentionally displaced during normal equipment operation or maintenance.

Secure relay retention is particularly important in industrial electrical cabinets where equipment may experience movement, handling or mechanical vibration. By helping the relay remain properly seated, the retaining clip supports the physical integrity of the relay and socket assembly.

Unlike an electrical jumper or interface module, the Finder 094.71 is a purely mechanical accessory. It does not carry load current, energise the relay coil or change the contact arrangement. Its compatibility depends on the specific Finder socket and relay combination, so the manufacturer socket documentation should be checked before installation.
