Finder 55.34.8.230.5040 Industrial Plug-in Relay, 230V AC, 7A, 4PDT, with Test Button and Mechanical Indicator

The Finder 55.34.8.230.5040 is a high-performance industrial plug-in relay engineered for precise switching in demanding control and automation environments. This 4PDT miniature relay operates with a 230V AC coil and is designed to handle a rated current of 7A, making it a robust component for complex electrical systems. Its compact design and reliable contact configuration ensure consistent performance across a wide range of industrial applications.

Advantages

This relay offers significant operational benefits, including a lockable test button that facilitates manual circuit verification during installation or troubleshooting. The integrated mechanical indicator provides immediate visual feedback on the relay status, allowing for quick diagnostics without the need for additional testing equipment. Constructed with high-quality silver-nickel contacts, the device ensures long-term durability and reliable electrical conductivity even under varying load conditions.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and control panels
• Electrical machinery and equipment
• Building management systems
• Signal switching in control circuits

This relay may not be suitable for applications requiring high-power switching beyond the 1750 VA limit or for environments where extreme vibration or corrosive atmospheres exceed the specified protection ratings of the housing. It is also not intended for direct high-voltage power distribution tasks outside of its rated 250V AC switching capacity.

Key specifications

• Coil voltage: 230V AC
• Contact configuration: 4PDT (4 changeover contacts)
• Rated current: 7A
• Maximum switching voltage: 250V AC
• Maximum switching power: 1750 VA
• Operating temperature range: -40 °C to +85 °C
• Dimensions: 27.7 mm x 20.7 mm x 37.2 mm
• Connection type: 2 mm flat pins

To use the Finder 55.34.8.230.5040, insert the relay into a compatible socket designed for 2 mm flat pin connections. Ensure the coil voltage matches your control circuit supply of 230V AC. The test button can be used to manually actuate the contacts for testing purposes; ensure it is returned to the locked or operational position after maintenance. Always verify that the load connected to the contacts does not exceed the maximum switching current or power ratings.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your socket base is compatible with the 4PDT pin layout.
• Ensure the control circuit voltage is stable at 230V AC.
• Check that the total load current does not exceed 7A.
• Confirm the environmental temperature remains within the -40 °C to +85 °C range.

Usage recommendations

For optimal longevity and safety, ensure the relay is installed in a clean, dry environment and protected from excessive moisture or dust. Regularly inspect the mechanical indicator and test button during scheduled maintenance intervals to ensure proper functionality.
