Product Identity and Lifecycle Status
The CAE31R6 is a control relay from the Schneider Electric Easy TeSys range, configured with 3 normally open and 1 normally closed pole contacts. It is designed for control circuit applications, rated for utilisation categories AC-15 and AC-14 per EN/IEC 60947-5-1. This part is officially classified as obsolete by the manufacturer.
The AC-15 utilisation category means the relay is rated for switching electromagnetic loads — typical for contactor coils, solenoid valves, and brake magnets in control circuits. AC-14 covers smaller electromagnetic loads like pilot lamps and small relays. The 3NO+1NC contact arrangement gives three make contacts for load switching and one break contact for a status feedback or interlock circuit. The part carries IP2X protection (finger-safe against solid objects over 12 mm) and operates without derating up to 3000 m altitude, which matters for high-altitude panel installations where air-insulation clearance is reduced.
It also meets the Chinese GB/T 14048.1 and GB/T 14048.5 equivalents. The protective treatment is TH conforming to IEC 60068, indicating it is suitable for tropical environments with high humidity and temperature cycling.
Physical Integration
The relay measures 80 mm deep, 45 mm wide, and 74 mm high. The grey RAL 7011 housing is typical for control relays in this series.
