Product Information

Full details

The Finder 4C.01.9.012.0050SPA is an industrial interface relay module designed for control systems and automation. It offers a reliable single changeover contact capable of switching 16A at 250VAC, making it suitable for various industrial applications. A key benefit is its integrated LED status indication and suppression diode, simplifying diagnostics and protecting downstream components. One potential caveat is its specific 12V DC coil voltage, requiring a compatible power supply.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum AC voltage the contacts can switch?

The contacts are rated for a maximum switching voltage of 250VAC.

What type of contact configuration does this relay have?

It features a single changeover (SPDT) contact, meaning it has one common terminal, one normally closed (NC) terminal, and one normally open (NO) terminal.

Can this relay be used with a 24V DC power supply?

No, this specific model (4C.01.9.012.0050SPA) requires a 12V DC coil voltage. Other models in the Finder 4C series are available for different voltages.

Does the relay have surge protection?

Yes, it includes an integrated suppression diode to protect against voltage spikes when the coil is de-energized.

How is the relay mounted?

It is designed for mounting on a standard 35mm DIN rail and comes with a mounting clip.

What is the release time of the relay?

The release time is approximately 12ms.

What does the LED indicator signify?

The LED indicates the status of the relay coil. It lights up when the coil is energized.

Troubleshooting

Relay does not energize when coil voltage is applied

Verify the 12V DC coil voltage is present and stable. Check polarity and ensure connections to the coil terminals (A1/A2) are secure. Confirm input resistance is within the expected range (300Ω).

Contacts are not switching

Ensure the coil is energized. Check if the load connected to the contacts is within the specified current and voltage limits (16A/250VAC). Inspect wiring for breaks or shorts.

LED indicator does not light up

Confirm the coil voltage is correctly applied. The LED is typically wired in parallel with the coil; if the coil is energized, the LED should illuminate. Check for internal damage if the LED fails despite correct voltage.

Relay fails prematurely or overheats

Ensure the load being switched does not exceed the 16A rating. Verify the ambient operating temperature is below +70°C. Check for short circuits in the load wiring.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable switching with a 16A capacity.
  • Clear status indication via LED.
  • Integrated protection with a suppression diode.
  • Easy mounting on standard DIN rails.
  • Durable AgNi (Silver Nickel) contact material.

Cons

  • Specific 12V DC coil voltage may not fit all power systems.
  • Single changeover contact might be limiting for complex switching logic.
  • Requires careful consideration of ambient temperature limits (+70°C max).
  • Release time of 12ms is moderate and may not be suitable for ultra-high-speed applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Securely attach the relay to a 35mm DIN rail using the integrated mounting clip.
  2. Wiring: Connect the coil terminals to a stable 12V DC power source. Ensure correct polarity.
  3. Load Connections: Wire the load to the single changeover (SPDT) contacts (Common, Normally Open, Normally Closed).
  4. Power Up: Apply power to the coil circuit.

Compatibility:

  • Coil Voltage: Requires a 12V DC power supply. Not compatible with AC or other DC voltages.
  • Terminal Type: Designed for screw terminal connections. Ensure appropriate wire gauge and termination.
  • Mounting: Standard 35mm DIN rail compatibility.

Care:

  • Keep the relay clean and free from dust and moisture.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the relay to prevent overheating.
  • Periodically check wiring connections for tightness.
  • Avoid exceeding the maximum switching voltage (250VAC) and current (16A) ratings.
