Schneider Electric 8501CG-12 Electromagnetic Relay

Schneider Electric's Square D 8501CG-12 electromagnetic relay is a general‑purpose control relay used to switch circuits in panels and automation equipment. As part of the 8501 family, it relies on a magnetically actuated coil to move an armature and change the state of an internal contact set, enabling a low‑power control signal to govern higher‑current loads. The 8501CG‑12 designation identifies this specific model within the CG variant lineage, with coil specifications, contact configuration, and electrical ratings determined by the exact variant. Common applications include factory automation, machine controls, and panel‑mounted control circuits where electrical isolation between control logic and power circuits is required. The 8501 family is designed to integrate with standard mounting and socket options used in control panels, offering compatibility across a range of enclosure types and installation layouts while delivering repeatable performance in demanding environments.
