Why Choose the Finder 48.P6.8.012.1060SPA Interface Relay Module?
The Finder 48.P6.8.012.1060SPA is a compact industrial interface relay module from the Finder 48 Series, designed for reliable electrical switching between electronic control circuits and industrial loads. The 48.P6 family combines a 16 A rated contact current, 12 V AC operating coil and single changeover contact (1 CO / SPDT) in a slim DIN-rail assembly.
Featuring Push-in terminal technology, the module enables fast, convenient wiring in industrial control cabinets. Its 15.8 mm width helps maximise DIN-rail space, while the integrated coil indication and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) suppression module support straightforward installation and operation.
The SPA configuration incorporates a plastic retaining clip designed for quick relay ejection and replacement. This makes the Finder 48.P6 interface module particularly suitable for PLC interfaces, machine control panels, building automation and industrial electrical installations where ease of maintenance is important.

Reliable AC-Controlled Switching for Industrial Automation
The Finder 48.P6.8.012.1060SPA operates using a 12 V AC electromagnetic coil to control a single changeover contact. When the coil is energised, the relay transfers its common contact from the normally closed terminal to the normally open terminal. When the coil is de-energised, the contact returns to its original position.
This arrangement allows a controller, switching device or industrial control circuit to operate a separate electrical load while maintaining galvanic separation between the coil and contact circuits. The 16 A contact rating makes the 48.P6 family suitable for appropriately rated power-switching applications, including auxiliary control circuits and industrial equipment.
The integrated indication and EMC suppression module assists with commissioning and operational monitoring. Unlike DC-coil variants, the 8.012 coil designation identifies an AC-operated relay, so the control supply must match the specified alternating-current voltage and frequency.
Fast Installation with Push-in Technology
The Finder 48.P6 interface module uses Push-in terminal technology to simplify wiring in industrial electrical panels. This connection method reduces the need for conventional screw tightening and supports efficient assembly of control systems.
The SPA plastic retaining clip provides convenient relay retention and an instant-ejection mechanism for maintenance. Combined with the slim 15.8 mm DIN-rail profile, the module offers a practical solution for densely populated electrical control cabinets.
When selecting the relay for a particular load, engineers should verify the applicable AC or DC switching ratings, inrush current, wiring requirements and utilisation category. The precise characteristics of the complete assembly should be matched to the intended installation.
