Frequently Asked Questions

What socket bases are compatible with the Finder 40.52.8.240.0000 relay?

This relay is compatible with Finder socket bases 95.65, 95.05, 95.55, 95.P5, 95.85.3, 95.95.3, and 95.15. These bases provide options for PCB mounting, DIN rail mounting, and panel mounting configurations, allowing flexible installation to suit your specific application requirements.

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

The Finder 40.52.8.240.0000 can switch loads up to 8A per contact at 240V AC. With its 2CO (DPDT) configuration, you have two independent changeover contacts, each rated for 8A. The AgNi contact material ensures reliable switching of both resistive and inductive loads commonly found in industrial applications.

Can this relay operate in extreme temperature environments?

Yes, this relay operates reliably across an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This extended temperature capability makes it suitable for harsh industrial environments, outdoor installations, and applications where temperature fluctuations are significant, such as cold storage facilities or high-temperature process equipment.

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, it's extremely compact while maintaining full 8A switching capacity. The miniature footprint makes it ideal for high-density control panels where space optimisation is crucial.

How does this relay compare to other Finder 40 Series models?

The 40.52.8.240.0000 features a 240V AC coil and 8A contact rating in a 2-pole configuration. This makes it suitable for higher power applications compared to lower-rated models in the 40 Series range, while maintaining the same compact footprint and mounting compatibility across the entire series.
