Why Choose the Finder 46.52.9.024.5074 Miniature Industrial Relay?
The Finder 46.52.9.024.5074 is a miniature industrial electromechanical relay from the Finder 46 Series, designed for dependable switching and control in industrial automation, electrical panels and machinery. Featuring a 24 V DC operating coil and two changeover contacts (2 CO / DPDT), it provides flexible control of two independent circuits through a single relay.
The Finder 46.52 family combines compact construction with a 2 × 8 A contact rating, making it suitable for switching auxiliary circuits, control signals and appropriately rated electrical loads. Its changeover contacts provide both normally open and normally closed switching paths, supporting a wide range of industrial control functions.
The 46.52.9.024.5074 variant belongs to the DC-operated 46.52 relay range and is intended for use with compatible Finder relay sockets and accessories. Its plug-in construction allows straightforward installation, replacement and maintenance in control cabinets and electrical equipment.

Flexible Two-Pole Switching for Industrial Control Systems
The Finder 46.52.9.024.5074 operates by applying 24 V DC to its electromagnetic coil. When energised, both changeover contacts transfer from their normally closed positions to their normally open positions. When the coil is de-energised, the contacts return to their original states.
This DPDT contact arrangement allows one relay to control two separate circuits simultaneously. It is particularly useful for electrical interlocking, status signalling, switching between control paths and operating auxiliary equipment.
The relay's plug-in design supports convenient maintenance, while its compact dimensions make it practical for installation in industrial control panels. When selecting a socket or replacement relay, the full 46.52.9.024.5074 part number should be checked to ensure the contact, coil and variant-specific requirements match the application.
