Finder Extends the 62 Series Range to include a Magnetic Blow-Out Relay for High DC SwitchingWhen the need to switch high DC currents exists, Finder's extended range of 62 Series relays now includes a Magnetic Blow-Out version, capable of switching loads as high as 12 A at 220 V DC.

Targeting the heavy-duty switching of contactors and large circuit breaker trip coils this version has been specially developed to offer a high performance product that is both smaller and more competitively priced than many other current offerings.

The new relays incorporate a powerful, rare-earth magnet, neodymium, which blows-out the electrical arc and breaks DC circuits more quickly and efficiently, allowing contacts to be rated at a higher DC current, whether resistive or inductive loads.

The 62 series range is now extended by these two high performance and cost effective versions-a single pole, double break version (62.31) and a two-pole, single break (62.32) version. Available in DC coil voltages from 6 to 24 V DC, these relays are rated for -40C - +70C environments.
