Why Choose the Finder 97.P1SPA Push-In Relay Socket?
The Finder 97.P1SPA is a 5-contact, single-pole relay socket with screwless push-in terminals, designed for use with compatible Finder 46.61 industrial relays. Part of the Finder 97 Series, it provides a compact and service-friendly connection interface for industrial automation, machinery control and electrical panel applications.
Featuring a 10 A current rating and 250 V AC rated voltage, the Finder 97.P1SPA supports appropriately rated relay control circuits. Its push-in terminal system simplifies conductor installation, while the option of 35 mm DIN rail or panel mounting offers flexibility for new control panels and replacement installations.
The SPA configuration includes the Finder 097.01 plastic retaining and release clip, which helps secure the installed relay and facilitates removal during maintenance. The blue socket housing, optional indication and suppression modules, and compatible jumper links make the Finder 97.P1SPA a practical choice for organised industrial control wiring.

Efficient Push-In Relay Connections with Plastic Retaining and Release Clip
The Finder 97.P1SPA provides the electrical and mechanical connection interface between a compatible Finder 46.61 relay and the external control circuit. Its contact arrangement connects the relay coil and single-changeover switching contacts to the fixed wiring, enabling the installed relay to control an appropriate electrical load.
The screwless push-in terminal system allows suitable conductors to be connected without conventional terminal screws. This simplifies panel assembly and reduces the need for terminal tightening operations. The socket can be mounted on a standard 35 mm DIN rail or directly onto a suitable panel.
The supplied Finder 097.01 plastic retaining and release clip helps secure the relay in the socket while providing a convenient means of releasing it during servicing. Because the relay is removable, replacement can be carried out without dismantling the socket's fixed wiring, provided the electrical circuit has first been safely isolated.
For additional functionality, compatible Finder 99.02 Series modules can provide coil indication or EMC suppression, while selected Finder 86.30 timer modules can introduce timing functions into suitable relay assemblies. Compatible jumper links help distribute common electrical potentials across multiple sockets.
The socket itself does not independently perform electrical switching or determine the relay coil voltage. Those characteristics depend on the installed Finder 46.61 relay. The complete assembly must remain within the electrical ratings of both the relay and socket.
