Its 110 V DC low-consumption coil keeps the control power draw minimal — a detail that matters when the PLC output card or DC supply is already loaded near its limit. Rated for utilisation categories AC-15, AC-14, and DC-13, this relay handles the inrush of solenoid valves, contactor coils, and indicator lamps — the typical control-circuit loads you find inside a panel. The DC-13 rating means it can break inductive DC loads without welding the contacts, which is where cheaper relays often fail. ## Standards and compliance — what the approvals mean The CAD32AFL carries EN/IEC 60947-5-1, UL 60947-5-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-5-1, GB/T 14048.5, and JIS C8201-5-1. That is the full set for a control-circuit device: IEC 60947-5-1 is the international standard for control switches and switching elements, and the UL/CSA marks clear it for North American panels without a separate component-level review. The front face is rated IP2X per VDE 0106, meaning it is finger-safe against accidental contact when mounted in an enclosure. The TH protective treatment per IEC 60068 covers tropical/humid environments — no extra conformal coating needed for most HVAC or wastewater panels. ## Integration notes Snap-in terminals mean the relay clips directly onto a DIN rail — no tools for mounting, but you do need a screwdriver for the spring-cage or screw-clamp terminations (verify the terminal type on the specific variant). Dimensions are 45 mm wide by 107 mm tall by 93 mm deep, so it occupies a standard 45 mm DIN-rail module width. Ambient operating range is -40 to 60 °C, with derating above 60 °C up to 70 °C — enough for most indoor panels but watch the thermal load if the enclosure is in direct sun or near a furnace line. ## Mechanical robustness for the line Rated to withstand 10 Gn shocks for 11 ms when open, 15 Gn when closed, and vibrations of 2 Gn at 5–300 Hz open / 4 Gn closed — per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6. That makes it suitable for panels mounted on conveyor frames, pump skids, or compressor packages where continuous vibration is present.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric CAD32AFL TeSys Deca Control Relay, 3NO+2N","metaDescription":"Active TeSys Deca control relay CAD32AFL with 3NO+2NC contacts, 110V DC low-consumption coil, snap-in terminals.

The difference is typically the coil voltage — the CAD32AFL uses 110 V DC low-consumption. If you need a different coil voltage, look for the CAD32 variant with the corresponding coil code (e.g., CAD32B7 for 24 V AC). Pinout and mounting are identical across the series."},{"question":"What is the operating temperature range for CAD32AFL?","answer":"It operates from -40 to 60 °C, with derating allowed up to 70 °C.
