The Schneider CA4KN40BW3 is a high-performance control relay from the TeSys K series, designed to facilitate the management of control circuits within a diverse range of industrial applications. This relay is engineered to operate with a 24 V DC low consumption coil, making it an energy-efficient choice for modern electrical systems.

With its 4 normally open (NO) contacts and a rated operational voltage of up to 690 V at frequencies up to 400 Hz, the CA4KN40BW3 is a versatile component suitable for a wide array of control circuit tasks. The relay is equipped with a built-in bidirectional peak limiting diode suppressor, enhancing its reliability and longevity by protecting against voltage spikes.

The unit boasts a conventional free air thermal current of 10 A at 50°C and an impressive rated making capacity of 110 A conforming to IEC 60947 standards. This ensures the relay can handle high inrush currents without compromise. Additionally, it is compatible with 10 A gG fuses as per IEC 60947 and VDE 0660, providing further assurance of safe operation.

Mounting and installation are made straightforward with options for both DIN rail and plate mounting, catering to various installation preferences. The screw clamp terminals are designed to accommodate cables ranging from 1.5 to 4 mm² in solid form, and 0.75 to 4 mm² when flexible, with or without cable ends, ensuring secure and reliable connections.

The CA4KN40BW3 control relay is compliant with several international standards, including EN/IEC 60947-4-1, GB/T 14048.4, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, and JIS C8201-4-1, reflecting its suitability for global use. It also holds product certifications such as CB Scheme, CCC, UL, CSA, EAC, CE, and UKCA, further testifying to its quality and safety.

With an IP2X degree of protection, the relay is safeguarded against the ingress of solid objects, ensuring reliable performance in various environmental conditions. Its robust construction is evidenced by its ability to withstand vibrations and shocks as per IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068-2-27 standards, respectively.

The Schneider CA4KN40BW3 control relay is a testament to Schneider Electric's commitment to quality, reliability, and efficiency, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a dependable solution for their control circuit needs.
