Finder Relays 4C.01.8.024.0060SPA General Purpose Relay SPDT 16A 24VAC

Part Overview

The Finder Relays 4C.01.8.024.0060SPA is a general purpose relay with SPDT (1 Form C) contact configuration, rated for 16A at 24VAC coil voltage. This DIN rail-mounted relay is designed for industrial control applications requiring reliable switching of AC loads up to 440VAC maximum switching voltage. The part is currently active in production with 977 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply chain considerations, application-specific feature requirements, or regional availability constraints.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Equivalent substitution for the Finder Relays 4C.01.8.024.0060SPA is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Core Substitution Criteria:

• Coil voltage: 24VAC
• Contact form: SPDT (1 Form C)
• Contact rating: 16A minimum
• Mounting type: DIN Rail
• Termination style: Screw Terminal
• Coil type: Non Latching
• Contact material: Silver Nickel (AgNi)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Switching voltage maximum: Equal to or greater than 440VAC
• Operating temperature range: Equal to or greater than -40°C to 50°C
• Coil current: Within industrial tolerance
• Operate/Release times: Within industrial tolerance
• Coil resistance: Within industrial tolerance

The Weidmüller RCI KIT series relay 8881590000 meets all core substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent for this application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Finder Relays 4C.01.8.024.0060SPA and Weidmüller 8881590000 are active production parts with full RoHS and REACH compliance. Selection between these equivalents should be based on the following factors:

Finder 4C.01.8.024.0060SPA is suitable for applications requiring maximum switching voltage capability of 440VAC and operating within the -40°C to 50°C temperature range.

Weidmüller 8881590000 is suitable for applications where faster switching response times (7 ms operate, 3 ms release versus 15 ms and 5 ms) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 70°C) provide operational advantages. This model includes socket mounting capability as an additional feature.

Both parts share identical coil voltage, contact form, current rating, termination style, and contact material specifications. The Weidmüller unit operates at lower coil current (31.6 mA versus 45 mA), which may reduce power consumption in control circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Weidmüller 8881590000 replace the Finder 4C.01.8.024.0060SPA in all applications?

A: The Weidmüller relay meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution in circuits designed for the Finder part. However, the lower maximum switching voltage rating (250VAC versus 440VAC) must be verified against your specific load requirements. If your application requires switching at voltages above 250VAC, the Finder part is the appropriate choice.

Q: What is the significance of the different coil current ratings?

A: The Finder part draws 45 mA while the Weidmüller draws 31.6 mA at 24VAC coil voltage. Both values are within industrial tolerance for 24VAC relay coils. The lower coil current of the Weidmüller may reduce power consumption in control circuits with multiple relays or limited power supply capacity.

Q: Are the switching time differences significant?

A: The Weidmüller relay operates faster (7 ms versus 15 ms) and releases faster (3 ms versus 5 ms). For most industrial control applications, both timing specifications are acceptable. Applications requiring rapid switching response may benefit from the Weidmüller specification.

Q: Do both relays support DIN rail mounting?

A: Yes, both the Finder 4C.01.8.024.0060SPA and Weidmüller 8881590000 are designed for DIN rail mounting with screw terminal connections. The Weidmüller unit additionally includes socket mounting capability.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference?

A: The Finder part operates from -40°C to 50°C, while the Weidmüller operates from -40°C to 70°C. For applications in elevated ambient temperature environments, the Weidmüller specification provides additional margin.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes, both relays are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. The Finder part carries ROHS3 certification while the Weidmüller carries standard RoHS certification. Both meet current environmental compliance requirements.
