The rated operational voltage goes up to 690V, and the utilisation categories (AC-15, AC-14, DC-13) tell you exactly what loads it can handle: AC-15 covers solenoid-valve and electromagnetic-brake loads, AC-14 is for small electromagnet loads under 72 VA, and DC-13 is for DC solenoids and contactors. That means this relay is a fit for mixed AC/DC control circuits in a typical industrial cabinet. Operating temperature spans -40 to 60°C, with derating allowed up to 70°C, and it's rated for altitudes up to 3000 m — fine for most plant-floor and high-altitude installations without special derating. ## Mechanical robustness The relay is tested for shock and vibration per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6. It withstands 10 Gn for 11 ms when open (contacts not engaged) and 15 Gn for 11 ms when closed. Vibration resistance is 2 Gn from 5 to 300 Hz when open, 4 Gn when closed. That's enough for most industrial environments — think conveyor lines, pump skids, and machine tools — but if you're mounting it on a high-vibration platform like a reciprocating compressor, you'll want to check the specific vibration profile against these limits.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric CAD50AK7 TeSys Deca Control Relay, 5NO, 1","metaDescription":"Active-production control relay from the TeSys Deca range. 5 normally-open contacts, 100V AC standard coil, snap-in terminals.

The mechanical footprint and snap-in terminal style are shared across the Deca control relay family, so swapping coil voltage or contact arrangement is a direct exchange on the same DIN-rail footprint."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/CAD50AK7","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/CAD50AK7 when reusing this data.
