The CAE22F5 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, with a 110 V AC 50 Hz coil. Rated for utilisation categories AC-15 and AC-14, this relay is built for switching electromagnetic loads (contactors, solenoid valves) and resistive/lightly inductive loads in control circuits — not for direct motor power switching.
The AC-15 rating means the contacts are tested for switching inductive loads like contactor coils — the typical job for a control relay. AC-14 covers smaller solenoid loads. Both categories are defined under EN/IEC 60947-5-1, which this relay complies with. The 2NO+2NC contact arrangement gives you flexibility: use the NO pair to latch a holding circuit and the NC pair for a status feedback or interlock, all in one 45 mm wide package. Operates from -20 to 70 °C and stores from -60 to 80 °C, with no derating needed up to 3000 m altitude. The IP2X finger protection means it's safe for open-panel mounting where accidental contact is a concern. Mechanical robustness is specified: the relay withstands 7 Gn shocks when open and 10 Gn when closed, plus 1.5 Gn vibration open and 3 Gn closed across 5–300 Hz. This makes it suitable for installation on machinery or conveyors with moderate vibration.
The 45 mm wide, 80 mm deep, 74 mm tall footprint fits standard DIN-rail enclosures. The grey (RAL 7011) housing is typical for control components in European-style panels.
