Finder Relays are one of the world's most trusted manufacturers of electronic relays for industrial, automotive and general purpose applications.
Relays are electronically operated switches common to most electronic circuits. A magnetic field is created when current flows through the coil of the relay, attracting a lever and changing the switch contacts. Relays like those produced by Finder enable the switching of multiple, separate circuits. A low voltage battery circuit can use a relay to switch a 230V AC mains circuit.
Since 1954, Finder has worked exclusively in the field of relays and timers, producing over 10,000 different products for customers requiring off the shelf and bespoke relay solutions. Throughout its history the company has developed Finder relays for an extensive range of specific industrial and commercial uses, such as light dependant relays for street lighting, forcibly guided contact relays for rail and transport, monitoring relays for single and three phase applications, PCB relays and solid state relays.
As a leading relay distributor, Rapid stocks an extensive range of Finder relays and is committed to sourcing the very latest Finder products. If you have requirements for individual Finder relays in small or volume quantities, or need to compare the specifications of different components, Rapid is the ideal place to shop online for Finder relays. We stock Finder PCB relays, miniature relays, sub-miniature relays and plug-in power relays in the most popular Finder series, from which customers can filter their requirements and find relays with the correct attributes that meet their specification, such as switching voltage and current, contact arrangement and dielectric strength.
Finder circuit breakers
Finder's circuit breakers, specifically breaker finders, serve as essential tools for both seasoned electricians and homeowners when working with electrical systems. These devices streamline the often complex task of identifying the correct circuit breaker that corresponds to a particular electrical outlet or fixture.
Finder Plug-In Relays
Finder's plug-in relays are versatile electromechanical switches widely employed in industrial automation systems and control panels for the reliable switching and isolation of various electrical circuits and loads. Their design emphasises ease of installation and replacement, featuring a plug-in mechanism that allows for quick connection and disconnection without the need for extensive rewiring.
Finder power relays
Finder's power relays are electromechanical devices engineered to switch high currents, making them indispensable components in a wide array of applications, including industrial machinery, home appliances, and automotive systems. A key characteristic of power relays is their ability to control large electrical loads using a small control signal, providing a crucial layer of isolation between the control circuitry and the high-power circuit being switched.
Finder relay modules
Finder's relay modules serve as convenient and compact interfaces between control systems, such as PLCs, and a diverse array of input and output devices in automation applications. These modules are designed to provide signal isolation and amplification, ensuring that the low-power signals from a controller can effectively manage higher-power field devices while also protecting the controller from potential electrical interference or damage.
Finder solid state relays
Finder's solid state relays (SSRs) are advanced electrical switches that utilise semiconductor technology and optoelectronics to provide fast, silent, and highly reliable switching for both AC and DC electrical loads in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Unlike traditional electromechanical relays that rely on physical movement of contacts, SSRs have no moving parts, which translates to several key advantages, including significantly faster switching speeds, dramatically longer operational lifespans, and completely silent operation. Additionally, their solid-state construction makes them much less susceptible to environmental factors.
Finder thermal management fans
Finder's thermal management fans are essential components designed to cool electronic components and prevent overheating in a vast array of devices and systems across numerous industries. Maintaining optimal operating temperatures is crucial for ensuring the proper functionality and extending the lifespan of electronic equipment, as excessive heat can lead to performance degradation and even complete failure.
