Product Information

Full details

This Finder Installation Relay is designed for professionals in industrial and commercial electrical installations needing a compact and reliable switching solution. Its key benefit is its space-saving 17.4mm width and robust 20A switching capability, suitable for demanding applications. A potential caveat is the fixed 230VAC coil voltage, which must match the system's power supply.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum AC voltage and current this relay can switch?

The relay is rated for a maximum of 20A at 250VAC.

What type of contact configuration does this relay have?

It features a single Normally Open (SPST-NO) contact configuration.

What is the required coil voltage for this relay?

The coil voltage is 230VAC.

How is the relay mounted?

It is designed for mounting on a standard 35mm DIN rail.

What is the purpose of the AgSnO2 contact material?

AgSnO2 (Silver Tin Oxide) contact material offers increased resistance to contact welding and erosion, leading to enhanced reliability and a longer operational lifespan compared to standard silver contacts.

Can this relay be used for DC switching?

While primarily designed for AC, it might be used for DC loads with significant derating. Consult the datasheet for specific DC ratings and limitations.

What are the physical dimensions of the relay?

The relay has a width of 17.4mm and a depth of 58.4mm.

Troubleshooting

Relay does not switch when coil is energized

Verify the coil is receiving the correct 230VAC supply. Check wiring connections to the coil terminals (A1/A2). Ensure the input voltage is within the operational range.

Contacts are welded or do not open/close reliably

Check if the load current or voltage exceeds the relay's specifications (20A at 250VAC). Inspect contacts for signs of damage or contamination. If issues persist, the relay may need replacement.

Relay is humming or buzzing excessively

Ensure the coil voltage is stable and within specifications. A fluctuating voltage can cause buzzing. Check for physical obstructions or damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely space-efficient design for dense installations.
  • High current carrying capacity for its size.
  • Durable AgSnO2 contacts ensure a long operational life.
  • Simple, reliable SPST-NO configuration.
  • Standard DIN rail mounting for easy integration.

Cons

  • Fixed 230VAC coil voltage may not suit all power systems.
  • Single NO contact limits complex switching scenarios.
  • Not suitable for DC loads without appropriate derating or configuration.
  • Coil power consumption of 1.25W is a factor in energy-sensitive designs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Mount the relay securely onto a standard 35mm DIN rail. Ensure the coil voltage is precisely 230VAC. Connect the load and control circuits to the appropriate screw terminals, following the SPST-NO configuration. Verify all connections are tight before applying power.

Compatibility: This relay is designed for AC circuits with a 230VAC coil. It is compatible with industrial control systems using standard DIN rail mounting. The maximum switching power is 5 kVA (AC).

Care: Keep the relay clean and free from dust and moisture. Avoid exceeding the rated voltage or current specifications. Periodically check terminal connections for tightness. No user-serviceable parts are inside; replace the unit if damaged or malfunctioning.
