Finder 097.52 – 97 Series Sockets for 46 Series relays – Accessory

Why Choose the Finder 097.52 2-Way Jumper Link?

The Finder 097.52 is a genuine 2-way jumper link for compatible Finder relay sockets, designed to create a common electrical connection between two designated socket terminals. Part of the Finder 97 Series socket accessory range, this compact bridging accessory helps simplify wiring in industrial automation panels, machinery control cabinets and electrical relay assemblies.

Rated at 10 A and 250 V, the Finder 097.52 provides a practical alternative to installing a separate short jumper wire between compatible terminal positions. Its compact design supports neat, consistent electrical connections while reducing repetitive wiring work during panel assembly.

The Finder 097.52 jumper link is specified for Finder 97.P1 and 97.P2 push-in terminal sockets, which are designed for Finder 46.61 and 46.52 relays respectively. Finder also lists this accessory for compatible 94.P3 and 94.P4 push-in terminal sockets, used with selected Finder 55 Series relays.

Unlike the similarly numbered Finder 97.52 relay socket, the 097.52 is a jumper accessory only. It does not accommodate a relay, provide switching contacts or function as a separate relay socket. Its purpose is to electrically bridge the appropriate terminals within a compatible socket arrangement.

Efficient Two-Way Bridging for Compatible Relay Sockets

The Finder 097.52 is designed for installations where two designated relay socket terminals need to share a common electrical connection. In industrial automation systems, multiple relays are frequently installed together to control equipment such as motors, contactors, solenoid valves and signalling devices.

These relay circuits may require a shared supply, return or other common electrical potential. Rather than using a separate short wire between the relevant terminals, a compatible jumper link provides a dedicated connection designed for the socket system.

The 097.52 two-way jumper offers this functionality in a compact format. It is particularly useful where only two connection points need to be linked, avoiding the unnecessary length of a multi-way bridging bar.

Finder specifies the accessory for its 97.P1 and 97.P2 push-in terminal sockets. These sockets are designed for the Finder 46.61 and 46.52 industrial relay types, respectively. The jumper is also identified in Finder documentation for compatible 94.P3 and 94.P4 sockets associated with selected Finder 55 Series relays.

The 10 A, 250 V rating applies to the jumper itself. The complete circuit must remain within the ratings of the sockets, relays, conductors and any other connected components. A jumper does not increase the permissible electrical load of the associated relay socket assembly.

Compatibility with Finder 97 and 94 Series Push-In Sockets

Choosing the correct jumper link is important because Finder manufactures several socket families with different terminal designs and accessory arrangements. The Finder 097.52 is intended for the designated connection positions of specific push-in terminal sockets.

For the Finder 97 Series, the manufacturer lists the 97.P1 and 97.P2 sockets. The 97.P1 is associated with the Finder 46.61 relay, while the 97.P2 is associated with the Finder 46.52 relay.

For the Finder 94 Series, the same jumper reference is listed for 94.P3 and 94.P4 sockets. These sockets are designed for selected Finder 55 Series industrial relays, including the 55.33, 55.32 and 55.34.

It is important not to confuse the 097.52 jumper link with the 97.52 relay socket. Although the references are similar, they identify different products. The 97.52 is a relay socket, while the 097.52 is a two-way bridging accessory.

Compatibility must be checked using the complete socket part number and the manufacturer's current technical documentation. Similar-looking sockets may use different jumper geometries or terminal arrangements.

Finder 097.52 vs Other Relay Socket Jumper Links

The Finder 097.52 is a practical choice when two compatible terminals require a common connection. For larger groups of adjacent 97.P1 or 97.P2 sockets, the Finder 097.58 provides an eight-way alternative. The correct accessory should always be selected according to the intended socket configuration and circuit design.

Installation and Electrical Safety Considerations

Before fitting the Finder 097.52, isolate the electrical supply and verify that the relevant circuit is de-energised. Identify the designated jumper connection positions using the Finder socket wiring diagram.

The jumper must only connect terminals intended to share the same electrical potential. Bridging unrelated terminals or separate supplies can cause short circuits, equipment damage or electrical hazards.

Fit the accessory only into compatible socket positions and avoid forcing it into an unsuitable terminal arrangement. Ensure that the jumper is properly seated and that its installation does not interfere with adjacent components or wiring.

When designing the circuit, account for the total current passing through the shared connection. The jumper's 10 A rating must not be exceeded, and any lower limits imposed by the associated equipment must also be observed.

The Finder 097.52 is not an isolator, fuse, circuit breaker or switching device. It forms an electrical connection and should be treated as potentially live whenever the associated circuit is energised.
