PCB-mounting relays handle post-solder
wash
All versions of the 45 Series of PCB relays are now available in a wash tight option enabling the unit to withstand post-soldering washing procedures.
Forming part of Finder's wide range of PCB relays, the 45 Series now includes the 45.91 relay with a 3mm contact gap to meet requirements for "full-disconnection", making it ideal for use in a number of applications such as washing machines, tumble dryers, cookers and domestic appliances In addition, all versions of the 45 Series are now available in a wash tight option enabling the unit to withstand post-soldering washing procedures and bringing obvious manufacturing benefits to OEMs and CEMs

Removing the need for heavy current PCB tracking, the 16A power relay incorporates Faston 250 connectors for the contact circuitry, and its sealed construction option also improves the reliability of the final product.
The 45 Series relays sit alongside a wide range of PCB relays on offer from Finder, one of Europe's leading manufacturers.
Long known for its comprehensive range of high quality plug-in and power relays, the company's sustained product development programme has led to an equally impressive range of PCB relays for industrial and commercial applications.
With a range of coil voltages spanning 3 to 220V DC and 6 to 400V AC, contact ratings from 0.1 to 30A, single or multipole, monostable or bistable, electromechanical and solid state types, Finder's range is truly comprehensive, and able to meet most PCB mounted relay demands.
In terms of contact materials, whether the need is for low-level signal switching or high inrush fluorescent lighting loads, Finder offers a number of contact options from 5um gold plating to silver tin oxide.
With the ability to choose the optimum contact material for the type of load, the life span and reliability of the relay and also the host system are enhanced.
Additionally, wash tight (RT III), high temperature operation (up to 125C) and high coil sensitivity types are available in a variety of styles.
Finder's policy of gaining international approval for its products is reflected in the UL, CSA, VDE and many other approvals gained by the company.
