Reliable Electrical Switching for Industrial Automation

General purpose electromechanical relays such as the Finder 60.12 provide reliable electrical switching through an electromagnetically operated contact mechanism. When the relay coil is energised, its changeover contacts transfer between their normally closed and normally open positions, allowing connected equipment and auxiliary circuits to be controlled by an external electrical signal.

The Finder 60 Series is particularly suitable for industrial electrical engineers, automation specialists and panel builders requiring dependable switching and convenient maintenance. The DPDT contact arrangement enables two independent circuits to be switched simultaneously, while the integrated lockable test button and mechanical position indicator assist with commissioning and fault diagnosis. Its plug-in construction supports straightforward integration into compatible relay sockets within electrical control panels.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial automation and machinery control systems.
  • Electrical control panels and distribution cabinets.
  • Motor starter and contactor auxiliary control circuits.
  • Industrial signalling and status indication systems.
  • Heating, ventilation and building automation controls.
  • Lighting control and electrical switching systems.
  • Conveyor systems and manufacturing machinery.
  • OEM equipment and industrial control cabinet construction.
