Product Information

Full details

This Finder 4C Series interface relay is designed for control system integration, offering reliable switching for industrial and automation applications. It provides 2 change-over contacts and operates on a 230V AC supply, making it suitable for a wide range of electrical circuits. A key benefit is its compact 15.8mm width, allowing for high-density panel installations. However, users should note that it requires a separate socket, which is supplied complete with the unit.

FAQs

What is the maximum switching capacity of this relay?

The relay has a nominal current rating of 8A. Always ensure your load does not exceed this rating.

Does the relay come with a socket?

Yes, the relay is supplied complete with its corresponding socket for DIN-rail mounting.

What type of mounting does this relay use?

This relay is designed for mounting on a 35 mm standard DIN-rail (EN 60715).

Can this relay be used with DC control voltage?

No, this specific model is designed for a 230V AC control supply voltage only. Other models in the 4C series are available for DC voltages.

What does 'mono-stable' mean for this relay?

Mono-stable means the relay requires a continuous control signal to maintain its switched state. When the control signal is removed, the relay returns to its default (de-energized) state.

What is the IP rating and what does it signify?

The IP20 rating means the relay is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm (like a finger) but offers no protection against water ingress.

How many independent contacts does this relay have?

This relay features 2 change-over (CO) contacts, meaning each contact has a normally open (NO) and a normally closed (NC) pole.

Troubleshooting

Relay does not energize when control voltage is applied

Verify the control voltage supply is 230V AC and correctly connected to the socket terminals. Ensure the relay is properly seated in the socket.

Contacts do not switch when relay is energized

Check if the control voltage is stable at 230V AC. Ensure the relay is fully inserted into the socket. Test the relay with a known good supply.

Overheating or unusual noise

Immediately de-energize the circuit. Check the connected load current against the relay's 8A rating. Inspect for any short circuits or wiring errors. Contact support if the issue persists.

Loose connections

Ensure all screw terminals on the socket are securely tightened to prevent intermittent operation or overheating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact width ideal for space-constrained enclosures
  • Standard 230V AC operation is widely compatible
  • Provides versatile switching with 2 CO contacts
  • Easy DIN-rail mounting
  • Robust build suitable for industrial environments

Cons

  • Requires a separate socket (though supplied with unit)
  • IP20 protection offers limited defense against liquids
  • Mono-stable design means continuous power is needed to stay energized
  • Not suitable for high-current switching beyond 8A

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mount the relay onto a 35 mm DIN-rail (EN 60715) by pressing it firmly into place.
  2. Connect the control voltage (230V AC, 50/60Hz) to the appropriate terminals on the relay socket.
  3. Wire the load circuits to the output contacts (terminals 1, 3, 4, 6) of the relay socket.
  4. Insert the relay into the connected socket.

Compatibility:

  • This relay is designed for 230V AC control circuits.
  • It is compatible with standard 35 mm DIN-rail mounting.
  • Ensure the load current does not exceed the 8A rating.

Care:

  • Keep the relay clean and free from dust and moisture. A dry cloth can be used for cleaning.
  • Avoid exposing the relay to extreme temperatures or corrosive environments.
  • Regularly check wiring connections for tightness.
