Why Choose the Finder 40.62.7.048.0000 Miniature Power Relay?
The Finder 40.62.7.048.0000 is a compact 10 A miniature electromechanical power relay from the Finder 40 Series, featuring a 48 V DC sensitive coil, two changeover contacts (DPDT) and silver nickel (AgNi) contact material for industrial automation, electrical control panels and electronic switching applications.
Designed for PCB mounting or installation using compatible Finder relay sockets, the Finder 40.62.7.048.0000 provides two independently wired changeover contacts operated by a single coil. Each contact set offers normally open and normally closed switching functions, making the relay suitable for auxiliary control, signalling, equipment interfaces and applications requiring simultaneous switching of two circuits.
Its 48 V DC sensitive coil has a nominal power consumption of 0.5 W, a nominal resistance of 4.8 kΩ and a nominal current of 10 mA. Combined with 10 A rated contacts, a 250 V AC rated switching voltage and RT II flux-proof construction, this relay offers a practical solution for compact industrial control assemblies.
Key Advantages
- Dual changeover contacts: Two CO / DPDT contacts enable two separate electrical circuits to be switched using one coil.
- 10 A contact rating: Supports appropriately rated electrical loads in industrial and electronic control applications.
- 48 V DC sensitive coil: Suitable for compatible DC control supplies and relay driver circuits.
- Low coil consumption: Nominal 0.5 W coil power helps minimise control circuit power requirements.
- Silver nickel contacts: AgNi contact material provides a cadmium-free switching solution.
- 250 V AC rated switching voltage: Supports common electrical control and auxiliary switching duties.
- Compact construction: Suitable for space-conscious PCB assemblies and industrial equipment.
- Flexible installation: Supports direct PCB mounting or compatible Finder socket arrangements.
- Electrical insulation: The Finder 40.62 design provides 6 kV impulse withstand capability between coil and contacts.
- Monostable operation: Contacts return to their normal positions when coil power is removed.

Reliable Dual-Circuit Switching for Industrial Automation
The Finder 40.62.7.048.0000 provides a dependable interface between 48 V DC control circuits and separately supplied electrical loads. Its two changeover contacts allow a single control signal to switch two independent circuits, making it particularly useful for industrial automation, auxiliary control, signalling and equipment interface applications.
When the relay coil is energised, both changeover contacts transfer from their normally closed positions to their normally open positions. When coil power is removed, the contacts return to their normal states. This monostable operating arrangement supports predictable switching behaviour in appropriately designed control systems.
The relay's 0.5 W sensitive DC coil draws approximately 10 mA at its nominal 48 V DC supply. Its relatively low coil current makes it suitable for compatible electronic driver circuits, provided the selected output can accommodate the relay's operating requirements. Appropriate coil suppression should be considered when switching the relay using semiconductor outputs.
The silver nickel (AgNi) contacts provide a cadmium-free contact material, while the RT II flux-proof housing supports suitable PCB soldering processes. RT II protection should not be confused with wash-tight construction intended for compatible PCB cleaning processes.
For motor control and other inductive switching applications, the connected load must be assessed against the appropriate contact utilisation category and electrical ratings. Motors, solenoids and loads with high inrush currents may require additional protection or a switching device specifically rated for the intended duty.
