It lands squarely in the Easy TeSys Control Relay range, a workhorse line for standard machine control. Contact arrangement is 2 NO + 2 NC, giving you four poles to work with for interlocking or auxiliary logic. Coil is 220 V AC at 50 Hz, so it's a straight drop into a standard control transformer secondary. Rated for utilisation categories AC-14 and AC-15 per EN/IEC 60947-5-1, which means it's tested for switching electromagnetic loads like contactor coils — the inrush current from a coil pull-in is what those categories cover. This isn't a power-switching contactor; it's a control-circuit relay, sized for the pilot-duty loads you find in a typical MCC or panel. The 2 NO + 2 NC contact arrangement is the headline — four independently usable pole pairs. In a control circuit, that's enough to pick up a contactor, seal in a holding circuit, and signal back to a PLC input, all from one relay. The NO/NC mix lets you build fail-safe logic without adding a second relay. AC-14 and AC-15 ratings are the key selection criteria here. AC-14 covers switching of electromagnetic loads up to 72 VA at the rated voltage; AC-15 is the heavier pilot-duty category for contactor coils. If you're driving a bank of contactors from this relay, the AC-15 rating tells you it's designed for that repetitive inrush. Mechanical robustness is solid for a panel-mount relay: it holds closed through 10 Gn shocks for 11 ms, and open through 7 Gn. Vibration resistance is 3 Gn closed, 1.5 Gn open across 5–300 Hz. That means it'll stay latched in a machine with moderate vibration — a conveyor drive panel or a pump skid — without nuisance dropout. The TH protective treatment per IEC 60068 means it's got a conformal coating for humid or mildly corrosive atmospheres — a step up from a basic untreated relay. IP2X means finger-safe terminals; you won't accidentally touch live parts during commissioning. The grey RAL 7011 housing is the usual Schneider control-relay colour, easy to spot in a dense panel.","metaTitle":"Schneider Easy TeSys CAE22M5 Control Relay, 2NO+2NC, 220V AC","metaDescription":"Active-production control relay from Schneider Electric's Easy TeSys range. 2 NO + 2 NC contacts, 220 V AC 50 Hz coil.

Other variants in the family differ by coil voltage (24 V DC, 110 V AC, etc.) or contact configuration (4 NO, 3 NO + 1 NC, etc.). The mechanical footprint and ratings are consistent across the family — the choice comes down to coil voltage and pole count needed for your circuit."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/CAE22M5","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/CAE22M5 when reusing this data.
