Why Choose the Finder 56.34.8.230.0000 Miniature Power Relay?
The Finder 56.34.8.230.0000 is a 12 A miniature power relay designed for dependable electrical switching in industrial automation, machinery control and electrical control panels. Part of the established Finder 56 Series, this relay features a 230 V AC coil, four changeover contacts (4 CO / 4PDT) and silver-nickel (AgNi) contact material for general-purpose industrial switching applications.
Its four-pole changeover arrangement allows a single control signal to operate four separate switching circuits simultaneously. This makes the Finder 56.34.8.230.0000 suitable for auxiliary control, electrical interlocking, equipment signalling and automation systems requiring multiple relay outputs. Each changeover contact provides normally open and normally closed switching functions.
With a 250 V AC rated contact voltage, 7.7 kΩ coil resistance and plug-in quick-connect terminals, this relay offers a practical combination of switching capability and serviceability. Its RT I dust-protected construction and compatibility with suitable Finder Series 96 sockets make it a convenient choice for electrical panel builders, automation engineers and industrial maintenance teams.

Reliable Multi-Circuit Switching for Industrial Automation
The Finder 56.34.8.230.0000 provides electromechanical switching for industrial control systems requiring several circuits to respond to one control signal. When the 230 V AC coil is energised, the four changeover contacts transfer from their normally closed positions to their normally open positions. This supports coordinated auxiliary switching, equipment status indication and electrical interlocking within machinery and automation systems.
The relay's plug-in construction allows convenient servicing and replacement when installed in a compatible Finder Series 96 socket. Its silver-nickel contacts and industrial temperature range support dependable general-purpose switching. For motors, inductive loads and equipment with high inrush currents, engineers should check the applicable load-specific switching ratings rather than relying on the nominal contact current alone.
