The CAE22B6 is a control relay from Schneider Electric's Easy TeSys range, designed for switching control circuits in industrial panels. It carries 2 normally-open and 2 normally-closed contacts (2NO+2NC), rated for operational voltages up to 690 V with a 24 V AC coil. Its utilisation categories are AC-14 and AC-15, meaning it's suited for switching electromagnetic loads like contactor coils, solenoid valves, and small motors in control circuits — the AC-15 rating specifically covers inductive loads with inrush currents higher than the sealed current.
The grey (RAL 7011) housing is standard for control relays in European panel builds. The TH protective treatment per IEC 60068 adds humidity resistance for mildly damp environments.
If you're freezing a new design, look at the current Easy TeSys control relay range for a functional equivalent with similar contact configuration and coil voltage. The 2NO+2NC contact arrangement and 24 V AC coil are common enough that a parametric match is straightforward, but verify the mounting footprint and terminal layout against your panel layout.
The relay withstands 7 Gn shocks when open and 10 Gn when closed, with vibration resistance of 1.5 Gn open and 3 Gn closed across 5–300 Hz. This is adequate for most industrial cabinet installations, including those near moderate vibration sources like compressors or conveyor drives. It operates without derating up to 3000 m altitude, which covers most standard industrial sites.
