Finder 40.61.8.024.0000 Miniature PCB Relay, 1 CO Contact, 16 A, 24 V AC

The Finder 40.61.8.024.0000 is a high-performance miniature PCB relay engineered for precise switching in demanding industrial and electronic environments. This component features a single changeover contact configuration capable of handling a rated current of 16 A, ensuring robust performance for various electrical loads. Designed to operate with a 24 V AC coil voltage, this relay provides a reliable solution for automation systems and power management circuits where space is limited but high switching capacity is essential.

Advantages

This miniature relay offers significant space-saving benefits due to its compact design, making it an ideal choice for high-density circuit board layouts. The high-quality construction ensures long-term operational reliability and consistent switching performance under various conditions. Its 16 A contact rating allows for the control of relatively high-power devices directly from low-voltage control signals, simplifying circuit design and reducing the need for additional intermediate components.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation control systems
• Power management and distribution circuits
• Electronic equipment and control panels
• HVAC system controllers
• General-purpose switching applications

This relay may not be suitable for applications requiring high-frequency switching over extremely long periods, where solid-state relays might offer a longer lifespan. Additionally, it is not intended for direct use in high-voltage mains switching without appropriate isolation and safety measures, nor is it suitable for environments with extreme vibration or moisture levels unless housed in a protective enclosure.

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 1 CO (changeover)
• Rated current: 16 A
• Coil voltage: 24 V AC
• Mounting type: PCB (Printed Circuit Board)
• Compact miniature design

To use the relay, solder the pins securely onto a compatible printed circuit board, ensuring that the coil and contact traces are sized appropriately for the expected current. Verify that the control signal matches the 24 V AC coil requirement before applying power. Ensure that the load connected to the changeover contact does not exceed the specified 16 A rating to prevent damage to the internal contacts.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the coil voltage matches your control system output
• Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the pin configuration
• Check that the 16 A current rating is sufficient for your specific load
• Confirm the environmental conditions are within the operating range

For optimal longevity and safety, ensure that the relay is protected from excessive heat and that the circuit includes appropriate surge suppression if switching inductive loads.
