Schneider Electric CAD32ED Control Relay 2NC 3NO 48VDC

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC CAD32ED is a DC control relay rated for 48 volts DC operation with a 2NC/3NO contact configuration. Control relays in this class serve as switching elements in motor control centers, machine automation panels, and industrial electrical systems. The CAD32ED switches low-voltage control circuits to manage downstream devices such as contactors, solenoids, and pilot lights. With five total contacts — two normally closed and three normally open — it provides flexible switching logic in a compact DIN-rail-compatible format. Licensed electricians and industrial control technicians are the typical installers for this class of device.

The CAD32ED is suited for use in industrial and commercial control panel applications where a 48 VDC control circuit voltage is present. It is commonly installed in relay logic panels, PLC output expansion circuits, and machine control enclosures. The DC control circuit type makes it appropriate for battery-backed systems, DC bus applications, and low-voltage automation architectures where AC coil devices are not suitable.

Key Features

• 48 VDC coil voltage for compatibility with DC control circuit architectures
• 2NC/3NO contact arrangement supports versatile switching and interlocking logic
• DC control circuit type suits battery-backed and DC bus panel applications
• Compact form factor: 2 inches height, 3.3 inches width, 4.1 inches length
• Lightweight at 1.14 pounds for easy panel integration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement control relay for industrial and commercial electrical control panels requiring a 48 VDC coil voltage with a 2NC/3NO contact configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the control panel before removing or installing this relay. Verify coil voltage and contact ratings against the circuit design before energizing. Do not exceed the rated contact load for the relay contacts.
