The CAD32FL is a TeSys D control relay from Schneider Electric, configured with 3 normally-open and 2 normally-closed pole contacts. It is designed for control-circuit switching in industrial panels, rated for operational voltages up to 690 V and fitted with a 110 V DC low-consumption coil. Its utilisation categories cover AC-15 (solenoid valve and electromagnetic clutch loads), AC-14 (small motor loads up to 72 VA), and DC-13 (solenoid and electromagnetic brake loads), making it suitable for a range of control-circuit applications in motor starters and general automation panels. The relay carries approvals under EN/IEC 60947-5-1, UL 60947-5-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-5-1, and JIS C8201-5-1, so it meets the certification requirements for panels destined for North American, European, and Japanese markets.
The 3 NO + 2 NC contact arrangement gives you three independent make circuits and two break circuits in a single relay package — enough to control a contactor coil, a pilot light, and a PLC input while keeping a separate NC feedback path for status monitoring. Rated for operation from -40 to 60 °C without derating, and up to 70 °C with derating applied. The storage range of -60 to 80 °C covers most shipping and warehouse conditions. The 0 to 3000 m altitude rating means it works at typical plant elevations without performance adjustment. Mechanical robustness is specified for shock and vibration: the relay withstands 10 Gn shocks (11 ms) when open, 15 Gn when closed, and vibration at 2 Gn (open) or 4 Gn (closed) across 5–300 Hz. This is relevant for panels mounted on machinery or in mobile equipment where the relay must hold its state under vibration. The TH protective treatment per IEC 60068 indicates the relay is treated against tropical humidity and condensation, which is useful for panels in non-conditioned environments or coastal plants.
