40.52.8.024.0001

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps Overview

The Finder 40.52.8.024.0001 is a miniature PCB/plug-in relay from the Series 40 family, designed for industrial control applications. It features a 24 V AC coil with a resistance of 320 Ohms and consumes 500 mW. The unit utilizes silver-nickel (AgNi) contacts rated for a maximum switching voltage of 250 V AC and a current of 8 A, supporting a maximum switching load of 2400 VA. It offers two change-over contacts (DPDT) in a wash-tight construction suitable for harsh environments. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is RoHS compliant.

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps Feature Summary

• Miniature form factor with 5.3 mm pin pitch for compact panel integration
• Wash-tight sealing protects internal components against moisture and contaminants
• Dual change-over contact configuration enables complex circuit switching

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring reliable signal and power switching
• Automation systems utilizing standard socket mounting configurations
• Harsh environment equipment needing wash-tight environmental protection

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires an AC coil variant, as this model is designated for 24 V AC operation. Confirm compatibility with existing socket bases or PCB layouts due to the specific 5.3 mm pin pitch dimensions. Ensure the switching load does not exceed the 8 A rating at the operating voltage. Check for required certifications such as UL or VDE if the end product demands specific regional approvals.

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps Selection Notes

Select this model when a DPDT configuration is necessary for controlling two separate circuits simultaneously. The wash-tight design makes it suitable for applications exposed to cleaning agents or humidity where standard relays might fail. Consider the 24 V AC coil requirement; if DC control is preferred, a different series designation must be chosen. The 8 A rating supports moderate power loads typical in general-purpose industrial switching tasks.

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps Part Context

This component belongs to the Finder Series 40, a widely used line of miniature plug-in relays known for their durability and standardized dimensions. The Series 40 family provides various coil voltages and contact configurations to suit diverse control needs.
