Description
About the CAD
About the CAD
The Schneider Electric CAD50AM7 is a TeSys Deca control relay with a 5 NO contact composition, rated 10 A Ith at up to 690 V AC, and a 220 V AC 50/60 Hz control circuit. It switches electromagnetic loads in AC-15 and DC-13 duty and wires into the control circuit of a motor starter or automation panel through snap-in terminals.

Selection Notes
Pick the CAD50AM7 where the panel needs 5 NO switching in one block — the 50/60 Hz AC coil matches a standard control transformer secondary already present in most panels. The snap-in wiring style is the other variant axis in this family: snap-in terminals wire without tools, which speeds up panel assembly on repeat builds. At 10 A Ith and a 100 A / 1 s short-time withstand, the CAD50AM7 is sized for auxiliary and interlock duty alongside a main contactor, not as the load-switching device itself.
