It uses a 220 V AC standard coil and snap-in terminals for quick DIN-rail mounting and wiring. Rated for utilisation categories AC-15, AC-14, and DC-13 per EN/IEC 60947-5-1, this relay handles solenoid valve, contactor coil, and moderate inductive loads common in control logic. The front face carries IP2X protection (finger-safe per VDE 0106), so it's suitable for open-panel mounting where accidental touch is a concern. Operating temperature spans -40 to 60 °C, with derating required above 60 °C up to 70 °C — a real factor if the relay sits near a heat source or in a sealed enclosure.
Standards and compliance — what the approvals mean
The CAD50AM7 carries full global approvals: EN/IEC 60947-5-1 (the main control-circuit device standard), UL 60947-5-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-5-1, GB/T 14048.5 (China), and JIS C8201-5-1 (Japan). That means it's accepted in panels destined for North America, Europe, China, and Japan without a separate review cycle — one part for multi-region builds.
The relay measures 45 mm wide, 107 mm high, and 93 mm deep — a standard TeSys Deca footprint that fits alongside contactors and overloads on the same DIN rail. The 45 mm width is three module spaces (at 15 mm per module), which matters when laying out a dense control row. Snap-in terminals mean no screws for the main connections — just strip, insert, and lock. The protective treatment is TH conforming to IEC 60068, so the relay handles tropical humid environments without corrosion issues.
