The CAE31Q6 is a control relay from Schneider Electric's Easy TeSys range, built for switching control circuits in industrial panels. It carries 3 normally-open and 1 normally-closed pole contacts, with a 380 V AC coil for actuation. Rated for utilisation categories AC-15 and AC-14 per EN/IEC 60947-5-1, meaning it's designed to switch electromagnetic loads like contactor coils, solenoids, and relays — the inductive loads you find in control circuits, not resistive heaters or motors directly.
The CAE31Q6 is obsolete. Contact a distributor or Schneider for a substitute with matching coil voltage and contact configuration.
The grey (RAL 7011) housing is standard for the Easy TeSys line. Terminals accept the usual control wiring sizes; no special lug or ferrule required. The 3NO+1NC contact arrangement gives you three make contacts for your control loads and one break contact for a status feedback or interlock. Mechanical robustness specs: it withstands 7 Gn shocks when open, 10 Gn when closed, and vibrations of 1.5 Gn open / 3 Gn closed across 5–300 Hz. That's solid for general industrial use but not rated for extreme continuous vibration like near a large reciprocating compressor.
Designed and tested to EN/IEC 60947-1 and EN/IEC 60947-5-1, plus the Chinese equivalents GB/T 14048.1 and GB/T 14048.5.
