Control relay for panel duty
The Schneider Electric CAE40F5 is a 4-NO control relay from the Easy TeSys range, rated for control-circuit switching up to 690 V with a 110 V AC 50 Hz coil. It carries AC-15 and AC-14 utilisation categories per IEC 60947-5-1, meaning it is designed for switching electromagnetic loads like contactor coils, solenoid valves, and small motors — not resistive heating elements. The IP2X finger-safe enclosure suits it for open-panel mounting where accidental contact is a concern.
Rated for operation from -20 to 70 °C ambient and storage from -60 to 80 °C, with no derating required up to 3000 m altitude. Shock resistance is 7 Gn open and 10 Gn closed; vibration resistance is 1.5 Gn open and 3 Gn closed over 5–300 Hz. These figures mean the relay holds its contacts closed under moderate machine vibration — important for conveyor or compressor panels where the relay sits near the motor.
