Why Choose the Finder 62.82.9.012.4060 Power Relay?
The Finder 62.82.9.012.4060 is a 16 A electromagnetic power relay with a 12 V DC operating coil, designed for dependable electrical switching in industrial automation, machinery control and electrical control panels. Part of the Finder 62 Series, this industrial relay combines two-pole changeover switching, durable silver tin oxide contacts and an integrated LED indication circuit.
Featuring two changeover contacts (2 CO / DPDT), the Finder 62.82.9.012.4060 enables two independent electrical circuits to be controlled simultaneously using a single 12 V DC control signal. Each changeover contact provides normally open and normally closed connections, making the relay suitable for equipment interlocking, control logic, signalling and appropriately rated electrical load switching.
The distinguishing feature of the 4060 configuration is its integrated LED and diode. The LED provides a convenient visual indication of coil energisation, while the diode provides coil suppression for DC control applications. This configuration is polarity-sensitive, requiring the positive supply connection to the designated A/A1 coil terminal.
With a 16 A contact rating, 250 V AC rated switching voltage, Faston 250 terminals and rear flange mounting, the Finder 62.82.9.012.4060 offers a practical solution for industrial control systems requiring reliable switching and integrated coil indication.

Technical note: The 4060 suffix identifies silver tin oxide contacts, a standard changeover contact arrangement and an integrated LED with suppression diode. The DC coil is polarity-sensitive: connect the positive supply to terminal A/A1. Reversing the polarity may cause excessive current through the diode and damage the relay or associated control equipment. The diode may also increase relay release time compared with an unsuppressed coil. Confirm the applicable electrical ratings, approvals and installation requirements against Finder's current 62 Series datasheet before final engineering selection.
Reliable 12 V DC Relay Switching with LED Indication and Coil Suppression
The Finder 62.82.9.012.4060 enables two independent electrical circuits to be controlled using a single 12 V DC operating coil. When the coil is energised, the electromagnetic mechanism transfers both changeover contacts from their normally closed positions to their normally open positions. When the coil is de-energised, the contacts return to their original positions.
The DPDT contact configuration provides flexibility because each contact set can switch between two electrical paths. This makes the relay suitable for control logic, equipment interlocking, status signalling and coordinated switching applications where two circuits must respond to the same control signal.
The integrated LED indicator offers a convenient visual indication of the relay's coil supply status. This can help engineers and maintenance technicians identify whether the control signal is present during commissioning, inspection and fault-finding. The LED indicates coil energisation rather than independently verifying the electrical continuity of the switched contacts.
The integrated suppression diode is an important feature for DC control circuits. When the coil is switched off, the collapsing magnetic field can produce a voltage transient. The diode provides a controlled path for the resulting current, helping limit the voltage spike that would otherwise appear across the switching device.
Because the diode is integrated into the relay, correct DC polarity is essential. The positive control supply must be connected to the designated A/A1 terminal, with the negative supply connected to the corresponding return terminal. Engineers should also account for the possible increase in release time associated with diode suppression.
The silver tin oxide contacts support reliable switching of appropriately rated loads, while the rear flange mounting and Faston 250 quick-connect terminals provide a practical installation arrangement for industrial machinery and electrical control assemblies.
