68 Series – New 100A Power Relay for Printed Circuit Boards

Finder 68 Series Pic 100a
Finder 68 Series Pic1

Thanks to its specific design and technical characteristics, the new Finder 68 Series power relay achieves the switching of exceptionally high loads, making it perfect in the context of energy production and distribution and in particular for the world’s demand for green sustainable mobility (EV-charging).

It can be used in charging stations up to 55 kW, in the production of inverters, battery chargers, emergency power generators, as well as in many other renewable energy applications.

It can also be installed in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), in pump control panels and inside automation control panels such as for the control of heavy-duty elevators.

Suitable for mounting and connecting via a printed circuit board, thanks to its 2 NO 100 A rated contacts, the Type 68.22 can achieve the full switching of a three-phase + neutral load up to 100 A by utilizing JUST 2 relays in tandem – saving considerable PCB real estate in comparison to earlier technologies.

Function & Features:

The 68 Series power relay was designed through a careful analysis of the specific areas of application and demands of the market, combined with Finder’s know-how in the design and construction of relays.

The new 68 Series is totally MADE IN ITALY and boasts low coil consumption, a holding power of only 0.7 W, compact size and a modern design – the result of collaboration with the Milanese design studio Fossati | Minelli.

With a distance between open contacts of 3.6 mm it complies with VDE 0126-1-1 and EN 62109-1 standards, as well as meeting the requirements of EN 60335-1 relating to heat and fire resistance (GWIT 775 ° C and GWFI 850 ° C).

  • 2 NO 100 A Contacts
  • Available with 12 and 24 VDC Coil Voltages
  • Maximum Switching Voltage 400/690 V AC
  • Rated load AC1 40000 VA
  • Creepage and Clearance Distance – 8 mm
  • Contact Material AgSnO2
  • Ambient Temperature Range -40… + 85 ° C

Applications:

  • Power Generators
  • Back-up Generators
  • Pump Control
  • Disabled Lift
  • Inverter
  • Charging Stations
