Why Choose the Finder 41.61.9.012.0020 Miniature PCB Power Relay?
The Finder 41.61.9.012.0020 is a compact 16 A miniature electromechanical power relay designed for reliable switching in industrial automation, electronic control equipment and printed circuit board assemblies. Part of the established Finder 41 Series, it combines a low-profile design with a versatile single-pole changeover contact arrangement.
Featuring a 12 V DC operating coil and one changeover contact (SPDT/1 CO), the relay enables a control circuit to switch an electrical load between normally closed and normally open connections. Its 16 A contact rating makes it suitable for appropriately rated power-switching applications where compact dimensions and PCB integration are important.
The Finder 41.61.9.012.0020 is designed for through-hole PCB mounting using solder terminals. With a body measuring approximately 29 × 12.6 × 15.7 mm, it is particularly useful in space-conscious electronic assemblies, appliance control boards, building automation equipment and industrial control systems.
Key Advantages
- 16 A miniature power relay for compact electrical switching applications.
- Single-pole changeover contact (SPDT/1 CO) provides normally open and normally closed switching options.

Compact 12 V DC Changeover Switching for PCB Control Systems
The Finder 41.61.9.012.0020 operates using an electromagnetic coil to control a single changeover contact. When the 12 V DC coil is energised, the common contact transfers from its normally closed connection to its normally open connection. When coil power is removed, the contact automatically returns to its original position.
The SPDT changeover arrangement provides greater flexibility than a normally open-only relay. It allows an electronic controller to select between two switching paths, making the relay useful for equipment control, signal-dependent load switching, auxiliary functions and electrical interlocking arrangements.
With its 16 A contact rating and compact through-hole construction, the Finder 41.61.9.012.0020 is suitable for appropriately designed PCB power-switching circuits. Circuit board tracks, solder joints, conductor spacing, protective devices and thermal conditions must be designed for the intended load. When replacing an existing relay, the full part number should be checked because Finder 41 Series variants can differ in contact material, environmental protection and other construction details.
