Why Choose the Finder 48.61.7.012.1050SPA Interface Relay Module?
The Finder 48.61.7.012.1050SPA is a compact, high-performance 16 A electromechanical interface relay module designed for reliable electrical switching in industrial automation, PLC control systems and electrical distribution panels. Part of the Finder 48 Series, this relay interface combines a 12 V DC operating coil with a single changeover contact, providing a practical solution for controlling electrical loads from low-voltage control circuits.
Featuring a single-pole double-throw (SPDT / 1 CO) contact configuration, the Finder 48.61.7.012.1050SPA allows one control signal to select between normally open and normally closed switching paths. Its 16 A contact rating makes it suitable for appropriately rated industrial loads, while the 15.8 mm slimline design helps conserve valuable installation space inside control cabinets.
The relay module is designed for DIN rail mounting, making it particularly suitable for industrial control panels, machinery interfaces, building automation and electrical distribution systems. Its modular relay-and-socket construction also supports straightforward installation and maintenance, providing a dependable interface between control electronics and electrical switching circuits.

Reliable PLC Interfacing and Industrial Electrical Switching
The Finder 48.61.7.012.1050SPA provides a practical interface between low-voltage control electronics and separate electrical load circuits. When the specified 12 V DC supply energises the relay coil, the internal electromagnetic mechanism transfers the common contact from its normally closed position to its normally open position. Removing the coil supply allows the relay to return to its resting state.
This single changeover contact arrangement offers flexibility for control logic, status indication and electrical switching applications. The relay's 16 A rated contact current and 4,000 VA AC1 switching capacity support a wide range of suitable resistive loads, while the compact DIN rail-mounted interface helps simplify electrical cabinet layouts. The permissible switching current must always be selected according to the actual load type, voltage and operating conditions.
The modular Finder 48 Series design is particularly beneficial for industrial maintenance teams and control panel builders. Its slim profile and replaceable relay arrangement make it suitable for installations where space efficiency, accessibility and dependable operation are important.
