Technical Parameters
Parameter Specification
Product Series CL Series (Compact Line Relay)
Model Decoding CL2-520R
• CL2: Series and possibly frame size designation.
• 5: Number of poles / contact configuration. "5" often indicates 2 Changeover Contacts (2 Form C) in some ABB coding systems.
• 20: Nominal Coil Voltage = 110V AC (Common code: 20 often corresponds to 110V AC, 50/60Hz).
• R: Contact Arrangement code, here likely confirming the 2 Form C configuration and/or a 10A rating.
Contact Configuration 2 Changeover (2 Form C / 2 PDT) - 2 poles, each with Common (C), Normally Open (NO), and Normally Closed (NC) terminals.
Contact Material Silver Cadmium Oxide (AgCdO) or Silver Tin Oxide (AgSnO₂) for high arc endurance.
