The Schneider CA3KN31BD3 is a high-performance control relay from the renowned TeSys K series, designed to facilitate the management of electrical circuits within a wide array of industrial applications. This compact and robust relay is engineered to operate with a control circuit voltage of 24 V dc and can handle rated operational voltages up to 690 V ac, making it suitable for a diverse range of operating environments.
With a configuration of 3 normally open (NO) and 1 normally closed (NC) contacts, it offers flexibility in controlling various types of loads. The relay's utilisation categories, DC-13 and AC-15, indicate its capability to reliably switch both DC and AC loads, which is essential for applications that require precise control of power.
The CA3KN31BD3 features a built-in bidirectional peak limiting diode suppressor, enhancing the protection against voltage spikes, thus ensuring the longevity of the relay and the safety of the circuit. The conventional free air thermal current is rated at 10 A at 50°C, with a rated making capacity of 110 A conforming to IEC 60947 standards, which speaks to its ability to handle high inrush currents.
Mounting and installation are made easy with options for rail or plate support, and the screw clamp terminals accommodate a range of wire sizes for solid or flexible cables, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. The relay's mechanical durability is demonstrated by its ability to withstand 20 million cycles, and it can operate at a maximum rate of 10,000 cycles per hour, making it a reliable choice for high-demand applications.
The compact dimensions of 45 x 57 x 58 mm allow for efficient use of space inside control panels, and the IP2x degree of protection ensures that the relay is safeguarded against the ingress of solid objects.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the Schneider CA3KN31BD3 is a Green Premium product, complying with the latest environmental standards and regulations, including REACh and EU RoHS, ensuring that it is free from harmful substances and supports a responsible end-of-life disposal process.
Overall, the Schneider CA3KN31BD3 control relay is a versatile and reliable component that offers both performance and durability for industrial control applications.
