Description
About the CAE
About the CAE
Schneider Electric's CAE40B5 control relay combines 4NO contacts with a 24 V AC coil in the Easy TeSys range, rated 10 A conventional thermal current at up to 690 V. It handles AC-14/AC-15 pilot loads at standard operating rates and connects via screw clamp terminals, suited to DIN rail or screw-fixed panel mounting.

Selection Notes
The 4NO contact set gives four make contacts for signal duplication where no break contact is required. This Easy TeSys range is certified CE, CCC, EAC and BIS but carries no UL or CSA listing, so it fits IEC-standard markets; panels that need UL 508 traceability for North America should use the TeSys K (CA2K) or TeSys Deca control relay instead. At 180 cycles/min maximum operating rate it suits standard-duty pilot switching rather than high-cycle automatic sequencing.
