Why Choose the Finder 95.P3.SMA Push-In Relay Socket?
The Finder 95.P3.SMA is a compact industrial 5-pin relay socket with push-in terminals, designed for compatible Finder 40 Series plug-in relays. Part of the Finder 95 Series, it provides a practical connection interface for electrical control panels, industrial automation equipment and machine control circuits.
Its screwless push-in terminal system helps simplify wiring by eliminating the need to tighten conventional terminal screws. The socket is designed for installation on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, allowing it to be positioned alongside other control components in an electrical enclosure.
The five-terminal arrangement is suitable for a compatible single-changeover relay, providing connections for the relay coil and its common, normally open and normally closed contacts. This makes the Finder 95.P3.SMA a useful solution for control signalling, auxiliary switching and equipment interfacing.
The SMA configuration incorporates a metal retaining clip to help keep the installed relay securely positioned. Its plug-in design also supports convenient relay replacement during maintenance without requiring permanent socket wiring to be disconnected.

Efficient Push-In Connections for Single-Changeover Relay Control Circuits
The Finder 95.P3.SMA relay socket provides a convenient interface between a compatible plug-in relay and the permanent wiring of an electrical control system. Its five connection positions accommodate two coil connections and three changeover contact connections, enabling the installed relay to switch between normally closed and normally open circuits.
When a compatible relay is energised, its changeover contact transfers between the two switching positions. This arrangement is useful for control signalling, auxiliary equipment operation and interlocking applications where an electrical signal must change the state of another circuit. The socket itself does not perform the switching; this function is provided by the installed relay.
The push-in terminal system is particularly useful during repetitive electrical panel assembly. Properly prepared conductors can be connected without conventional screw tightening, helping installers maintain an organised wiring layout. Conductor type, cross-sectional area and stripping length should be checked against Finder's installation instructions before termination.
The supplied metal retaining clip helps hold the relay in position during operation. For maintenance, the relay can be removed from its socket after the circuit has been safely isolated, allowing the switching component to be replaced without dismantling the fixed wiring connections.
Typical Applications
- Industrial automation and control panels.
- PLC interface and auxiliary relay circuits.
- Single-changeover relay switching applications.
- Manufacturing and production machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Equipment status signalling and monitoring.
- Control circuit interlocking.
- Building automation control panels.
- OEM electrical equipment manufacturing.
- Maintenance of compatible Finder 40 Series relay installations.
