Frequently Asked Questions

What mounting bases are compatible with the Finder 40.52.8.230.0000 relay?

This relay is compatible with several Finder base options including 95.65, 95.05, 95.55, 95.P5, 95.85.3, 95.95.3, and 95.15. These bases provide options for PCB socket mounting and 35mm DIN rail socket installation, allowing flexible integration into various control panel configurations.

What is the maximum load this 8A relay can switch?

The Finder 40.52.8.230.0000 can switch loads up to 8A at 230V AC. With its 2 CO (DPDT) contact configuration, it provides two independent changeover contacts, each rated for the full 8A capacity. The AgNi contact material ensures reliable switching performance across the full load range.

What are the physical dimensions and how much space does it require?

The relay measures 12.4mm in width with a 5mm pin pitch and 5.2mm pin length. With a net mass of just 0.02kg, this compact design minimises space requirements in control panels whilst maintaining robust 8A switching capacity. The 8-pin configuration fits standard PCB layouts and compatible socket bases.

Can this relay operate in extreme temperature conditions?

Yes, the Finder 40.52.8.230.0000 is designed for demanding environments with an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This wide operating range makes it suitable for outdoor installations, industrial processes, and applications where temperature variations are significant.

How does the 2 CO (DPDT) contact configuration work?

The 2 CO (DPDT) configuration provides two changeover contacts, meaning each contact switches between normally open and normally closed positions when the relay coil is energised. This allows the relay to simultaneously control two separate circuits or provide redundant switching for critical applications, making it more versatile than simple on/off relays.
