FAQs
What is the maximum AC load this relay can switch?
This relay can switch a maximum of 16A at up to 400V AC, providing a switching capacity of 4000 VA.
Can I power the coil with 24V DC?
No, this relay is specifically designed for a 12V DC coil voltage. Applying 24V DC will likely damage the relay.
What type of contacts does this relay have?
The relay features AgSnO2 (Silver Tin Oxide) contacts, known for their durability and resistance to welding.
Is this relay suitable for high-frequency switching?
This relay is best suited for general-purpose switching. For applications requiring very high-frequency switching, other specialized components might be more appropriate.
How do I mount this relay onto a PCB?
The relay is designed for PCB mounting. Align the pins with the corresponding holes on the PCB and solder them securely.
What does 'RT I' protection mean?
'RT I' refers to the relay's protection type against transient overvoltages, indicating a level of protection suitable for many industrial applications.
Where can I find alternative Finder relays?
Finder offers a wide range of relays. You can explore other series like the 40 Series, 34 Series, or 67 Series for different voltage, current, and contact configurations, such as the Finder PCB Relay - 40 Series - 24VDC - 10A - Dual CO or Finder PCB Relay - 24V DC - 50A - 3P-NO.
Troubleshooting
Relay does not energize when 12V DC is applied to the coil.
Verify the 12V DC supply is correctly connected to the coil terminals and that the voltage is stable. Check for any short circuits or open connections in the coil wiring.
Relay contacts are stuck or do not switch.
Ensure the load current and voltage do not exceed the relay's maximum ratings. Check for any physical obstruction or damage to the contacts. If the issue persists, the relay may need replacement.
Overheating of the relay during operation.
Confirm that the load current is within the 16A limit. Verify that the coil voltage is stable at 12V DC. Ensure adequate ventilation around the relay if it's housed in an enclosure.
Intermittent switching or poor contact resistance.
Check the solder joints for good electrical contact. Ensure the PCB traces are adequate for the current being switched. Clean the contacts if accessible and the issue is minor; otherwise, consider replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
High current and voltage handling capabilities for robust applications.
Reliable AgSnO2 contact material ensures longevity.
Compact PCB mount design for integration into tight spaces.
Standard 12V DC coil voltage for broad compatibility.
Cons
Requires a specific 12V DC power source for the coil.
Not suitable for high-frequency switching applications.
Requires careful soldering for secure PCB mounting.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the power source provides a stable 12V DC supply for the relay coil.
Mount the relay onto the PCB, aligning the pins with the corresponding holes.
Solder the pins securely to the PCB traces, ensuring good electrical connections.
Connect the load to the appropriate switching terminals (NO/NC and COM), adhering to the maximum switching voltage and current ratings.
Compatibility:
Coil Voltage: Strictly compatible with 12V DC power sources. Using other voltages can damage the relay.
Load Type: Suitable for AC and DC loads within the specified current (16A) and voltage (400V AC max) limits.
Environmental: Designed for standard industrial or electronic environments. Avoid extreme temperatures or humidity outside operational specifications.
Care:
Keep the relay clean and free from dust and debris.
Avoid exposing the relay to excessive moisture or corrosive substances.
Periodically check solder joints for integrity, especially in vibrating environments.
