Product details

The 5 NO pole composition means all five contacts close when the coil is energised — no mixed NO/NC configuration, so it is suited for applications needing multiple simultaneous control signals (e.g., enabling several contactors or PLC inputs from one command). Its utilisation categories tell you what loads it can switch: AC-15 (solenoid valves, electromagnetic brakes — inductive loads above 72 VA), AC-14 (small electromagnets, clutches — inductive loads up to 72 VA), and DC-13 (solenoids with series resistor — DC inductive loads). Rated operational voltage is listed at 10 MOhm — that is the insulation resistance between live parts, not a switching voltage. The device short name CAD and the TeSys range place it in Schneider's standard-duty control relay family, snap-in terminal style for DIN-rail mounting.

At 45 mm wide and 107 mm tall, it occupies one standard modular space — plan your enclosure fill factor accordingly. Depth of 93 mm means it clears most 120 mm deep enclosures but check gland-plate clearance if wiring from the rear. Storage range of -60 to 80 °C is wider — handling and shipping, not running, is what that limit governs. Mechanical robustness is specified for shock and vibration: 10 Gn for 11 ms when open, 15 Gn when closed; vibration at 2 Gn (open) and 4 Gn (closed) across 5–300 Hz. These are the values to check against your machine's vibration profile — if you are mounting on a press or crusher, the closed-contact rating is the relevant one.

Multi-standard compliance covers 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. This means the same part number works across European, North American, Chinese, and Japanese installations — no region-specific variant needed. The TH protective treatment (IEC 60068) confirms it is tropicalised for humid environments.

Frequently asked questions

What utilisation categories does the CAD50AY7 support?

It is rated for AC-15, AC-14, and DC-13 utilisation categories. AC-15 covers solenoid valves and electromagnetic brakes; AC-14 covers small electromagnets and clutches; DC-13 covers DC solenoids with series resistors.

What compliance documentation is available for the CAD50AY7?

The relay complies with 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. It also carries TH protective treatment per IEC 60068 for tropical environments.

What is the closest alternative to the CAD50AY7 in the TeSys family?

Within the TeSys Deca range, the closest alternative would be a variant with mixed NO/NC contacts if your circuit requires both. The CAD50AY7 is a 5 NO configuration; if you need normally-closed contacts, look at the CAD series variants with NC poles. Pin-compatibility depends on the terminal layout — snap-in terminals are standard across the Deca range.
