Product Information

Full details

This Finder PCB Mount Relay is designed for engineers and hobbyists requiring reliable high-capacity load switching in electronic systems. Its key benefit is the robust construction enabling it to resist contact arc and handle up to 10A switching current. A caveat is its 12V DC coil requirement, limiting its direct use in AC-powered or higher voltage DC systems without appropriate power conversion.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the coil voltage for this relay?

The coil voltage for this specific model (40.62.7.012.0000) is 12V DC.

What is the maximum switching current?

The maximum switching current is 10A.

Can this relay be used in AC circuits?

This relay is designed for DC coil operation. While it can switch AC loads (within its 10A rating), the coil must be powered by 12V DC. It is not designed for direct AC mains coil operation.

What does '2 CO' mean?

'2 CO' stands for 2 Change-Overs, meaning the relay has two sets of contacts, each acting as a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch.

Does this relay meet safety standards?

Yes, it meets the EN 60335-1 glow wire requirements, indicating suitability for applications where high temperatures might be a concern.

What is the pin pitch?

The pin pitch is 5.0 mm, which is the distance between the centers of adjacent pins on the relay's header.

Troubleshooting

Relay does not energize when coil voltage is applied.

Verify the coil voltage is exactly 12V DC. Check for a secure connection at the coil terminals. Ensure there is no short circuit or open circuit in the control path.

Contacts are stuck or do not switch.

Check if the load current exceeds the 10A rating. Inspect contacts for signs of welding or damage. Ensure the coil is receiving sufficient voltage to pull the contacts.

Intermittent operation or erratic switching.

Ensure the coil voltage is stable and within specification. Check for poor solder joints or PCB trace issues. Verify the ambient temperature is within the operating range.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable switching for demanding applications.
  • Compact design for PCB mounting.
  • Durable construction with arc resistance.
  • Meets relevant safety standards.
  • Dual change-over contacts offer versatility.

Cons

  • Requires a 12V DC power source for the coil.
  • Not suitable for direct AC switching without external circuitry.
  • Switching current limit of 10A may be insufficient for very high-power loads.
  • Pin pitch is specific and requires compatible PCB layout.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the coil terminals (typically marked 'A1' and 'A2') and the contact terminals (common, normally open, normally closed).
  2. Ensure the control voltage supplied to the coil is a stable 12V DC.
  3. Solder the relay pins securely to a compatible PCB. Pay attention to pin orientation.

Compatibility:

  • Coil Voltage: Exclusively designed for 12V DC coil operation. Using other voltages can damage the relay.
  • Contact Rating: Suitable for loads up to 10A. Exceeding this limit can lead to contact welding or failure.
  • PCB Layout: Requires a PCB with a 5.0 mm pin pitch footprint.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the relay to excessive moisture or corrosive environments.
  • Keep the relay clean; dust and debris can affect performance.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the relay, especially when switching loads close to its maximum rating.
