Its 3 NO + 2 NC pole configuration gives you three normally-open and two normally-closed contact sets in one 45 mm wide package, sized for a 107 mm height and 93 mm depth on the DIN rail. Rated for utilisation categories AC-15, AC-14, and DC-13, this relay is designed to switch electromagnetic loads like contactor coils, solenoid valves, and small DC motors — the AC-15 rating specifically covers switching of electromagnetic loads above 72 VA, which is the typical control transformer or contactor coil pull-in current. The DC-13 rating handles solenoids and DC electromagnets, so it's suited for DC control circuits common in process lines. The 220 V DC standard coil means it pulls in reliably on a 220 VDC control supply, and the snap-in terminals speed up panel wiring — no screwdriver needed for the coil or contact terminations.
Where you'll find it in a panel
This relay lives on a DIN rail inside a control cabinet, typically as an interposing relay between a PLC output card and a contactor coil or valve manifold. The IP2X front-face protection (per VDE 0106) means the front of the relay is finger-safe when mounted in an enclosure — no additional cover needed on the front face, though the rear terminals are live. Storage range of -60 to 80 °C handles shipping and idle spares. Altitude rating to 3000 m means it's fine for most installations outside high-mountain or unpressurised aircraft applications.
The CAD32AMD 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. IEC 60947-5-1 is the standard for control circuit devices and switching elements — it covers the relay's rated operational voltage, making and breaking capacity, and endurance. UL and CSA marks mean the relay is accepted for North American panels without additional evaluation. GB/T and JIS marks cover Chinese and Japanese installations respectively. The protective treatment 'TH' per IEC 60068 means the relay is treated for tropical environments — humidity and fungal growth resistance, relevant if the panel sits in a non-air-conditioned space in a warm climate.
