Why Choose the Finder 62.83.8.230.4309 Power Relay?
The Finder 62.83.8.230.4309 is a high-performance 16 A industrial electromechanical power relay designed for dependable electrical load switching in industrial automation, machinery and control systems. Part of the established Finder 62 Series, this relay features a 230 V AC operating coil, three normally open contacts and robust construction suitable for industrial electrical installations.
Unlike the standard three-pole changeover versions of the Finder 62.83 range, the 62.83.8.230.4309 features a 3PST-NO (3 Form A) contact arrangement, providing three normally open contacts operated simultaneously by a single coil. This configuration is particularly useful for applications requiring three electrical circuits to be switched on or off together. The silver tin oxide (AgSnO₂) contacts provide reliable switching performance, while the normally open contact design incorporates an increased contact separation suitable for compatible electrical switching applications.
With a 16 A rated contact current, 250 V AC rated contact voltage and 230 V AC coil supply, this Finder relay is suitable for control panels, electrical distribution equipment, lighting installations and industrial machinery. Its Faston 250 quick-connect terminals and rear flange mounting design enable straightforward installation in appropriately designed electrical control systems.

Reliable Three-Pole Normally Open Switching for Industrial Applications
The Finder 62.83.8.230.4309 operates as an electrically controlled switch. When its 230 V AC coil is energised, the relay closes all three normally open contacts, allowing current to flow through the connected load circuits. When the coil is de-energised, the contacts return to their open positions, interrupting the electrical connections. This straightforward operating principle makes the relay suitable for switching multiple loads from a single control signal.
The 3PST-NO contact configuration is particularly useful where three separate circuits must be energised together without requiring changeover contacts. The relay's silver tin oxide contacts are designed to withstand the demands of repeated industrial switching when operated within the specified ratings. Its normally open contact arrangement also offers increased contact separation compared with conventional changeover designs, making it appropriate for compatible switching and isolation-related control functions.
The Faston 250 terminals provide a practical connection method for industrial wiring, while the rear flange mounting arrangement allows the relay to be secured to a suitable chassis or mounting panel. With a 230 V AC coil, the relay can be controlled directly from a compatible AC control circuit, provided that the installation includes appropriate electrical protection and follows applicable safety requirements.
