The CAD32AY7 is a TeSys Deca control relay from Schneider Electric, built for switching control circuits in industrial panels. It carries 3 normally-open and 2 normally-closed contacts, rated for operational voltages up to 690 V AC, and uses a 690 V AC standard coil. The utilisation categories cover AC-15 (inductive loads like contactor coils), AC-14 (small electromagnetic loads), and DC-13 (solenoid valves and DC contactors), so it handles the mixed-signal control loads typical of a machine or process line.
The relay measures 45 mm wide by 107 mm high by 93 mm deep, with snap-in terminals for DIN-rail mounting. The IP2X front-face protection (per VDE 0106) means the live terminals are finger-safe once installed, which simplifies panel layout and reduces the need for additional shrouding in enclosed cabinets.
Rated for operation from -40 °C to 60 °C, with derating allowed up to 70 °C. Storage range spans -60 °C to 80 °C. Mechanically, it survives shock at 10 Gn (11 ms) when open, 15 Gn when closed, and vibration at 2 Gn (open) or 4 Gn (closed) across 5–300 Hz, per IEC 60068-2-27 and -2-6. These figures matter when the relay is mounted on a panel door or near a high-vibration motor starter.
