Why Choose the Finder 62.23.9.012.4000 Power Relay?
The Finder 62.23.9.012.4000 is a high-performance 16 A three-pole changeover power relay featuring a 12 V DC coil, 3PDT (3 CO) contact configuration and silver-tin oxide (AgSnO₂) contacts. Part of the established Finder 62 Series, this industrial electromechanical relay is designed for reliable switching in automation equipment, electrical control systems, industrial machinery and PCB-based control assemblies.
With three independent changeover contacts operated by a single electromagnetic coil, the Finder 62.23.9.012.4000 enables multiple circuits to be switched simultaneously. Each contact is rated at 16 A and 250 V AC for suitable resistive loads, providing a versatile solution for applications requiring multiple switching paths without installing three separate relays.
The relay incorporates a 12 V DC, 1.3 W coil, AgSnO₂ contact material and through-hole PCB terminals. Its robust construction, compact three-pole arrangement and high peak-current capability make it suitable for OEM equipment manufacturers, industrial control panel builders and maintenance engineers seeking dependable electrical switching.

Reliable Three-Pole Switching for Industrial Control Systems
The Finder 62.23.9.012.4000 uses a 12 V DC electromagnetic coil to operate three separate changeover contacts simultaneously. When the coil is energised, each contact transfers from its normally closed path to its normally open path. When the coil supply is removed, the contacts return to their original positions.
This 3PDT contact configuration is particularly useful for equipment requiring several switching functions to respond to the same control signal. It can simplify PCB layouts, reduce the number of separate relays and provide coordinated switching for compatible control, indication and load circuits.
The relay's AgSnO₂ contacts provide resistance to contact welding under suitable switching conditions, making them valuable in applications where contact durability is important. Its through-hole PCB construction enables integration into electronic equipment and industrial control boards. Designers should ensure that PCB tracks, terminal connections, protective devices and load characteristics are suitable for the intended switching duty.
