Product Information

Full details

This Finder 38 Series Interface Relay Module is designed for control system engineers and automation technicians needing a compact and reliable switching solution. Its key benefit is providing a single, robust changeover contact in a space-saving 6.2mm width, ideal for tight enclosures. A potential caveat is its specific 12V DC coil voltage, requiring a matching power source. The module integrates a relay and socket for DIN rail mounting, featuring LED status indication and EMC protection for enhanced system reliability.

FAQs

What is the coil voltage for this relay module?

The coil voltage for this Finder 38 Series Interface Relay Module is 12V DC.

What is the maximum switching current and voltage?

The relay contacts are rated for a maximum of 6A at 250VAC.

Can I use this relay module for DC loads?

Yes, it can be used for DC loads, but you must ensure the load current does not exceed the 6A rating and consider appropriate arc suppression for inductive DC loads.

How is this module mounted?

The module is designed for standard 35mm DIN rail mounting and comes as a complete unit with both the relay and its socket.

What does the LED indicator signify?

The LED status indicator provides a visual indication of the relay coil's energized state. If the LED is on, the coil is powered.

What material are the contacts made of?

The contacts are made of Silver Nickel (AgNi), which offers good conductivity and durability.

What is the physical size of the module?

The dimensions of the module, including the socket, are 6.2mm in width, 75.6mm in height, and 87.9mm in depth.

Troubleshooting

Relay does not energize when coil voltage is applied.

Verify the 12V DC coil voltage is present and correctly connected to the coil terminals. Check if the LED status indicator is lit. Ensure the input current is sufficient (min. 15.2mA).

Contacts do not switch (no continuity changeover).

Confirm the coil voltage is applied and the relay is energized. Check if the load connected to the contacts exceeds the 6A rating. Inspect for physical damage to the contacts.

LED status indicator is not illuminated.

Check the 12V DC coil voltage supply and its connection to the relay coil terminals. Ensure correct polarity is observed.

Intermittent operation or unreliable switching.

Ensure secure screw terminal connections. Verify the applied coil voltage is stable and within specification. Check for excessive ambient temperature or vibration.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly compact footprint saves valuable panel space.
  • Complete module with relay and socket simplifies installation.
  • LED indicator provides clear operational status.
  • Robust construction suitable for industrial environments.
  • EMC protection enhances system stability.

Cons

  • Limited to a single changeover contact.
  • Specific 12V DC coil voltage may require a dedicated power supply.
  • Contact rating of 6A might be insufficient for high-power applications.
  • Screw terminals require careful wire stripping and secure connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mount the complete relay module unit onto a standard 35mm DIN rail.
  2. Connect the control voltage (12V DC) to the designated coil terminals on the socket, observing polarity.
  3. Wire the load or signal circuit to the appropriate output terminals (Common, Normally Open, Normally Closed) of the changeover contact.
  4. Ensure all screw terminals are securely tightened to prevent loose connections.

Compatibility:

  • Coil Voltage: Requires a stable 12V DC power source. Ensure the power supply can provide at least 15.2mA.
  • Contact Load: Suitable for loads up to 6A at 250VAC or equivalent DC loads. Avoid exceeding these limits.
  • Environmental: Designed for industrial environments with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C.

Care:

  • Keep the module clean and free from dust and moisture. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid solvents.
  • Periodically check screw terminal connections for tightness.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the module, especially in enclosed panels.
