Schneider Electric TeSys D LC1D Contactor, 24 V dc Coil, 3-Pole, 12 A, 5.5 kW, 3NO, 690 V ac

TeSys D Contactors from Schneider Electric combine long mechanical and electrical life to offer a high reliable contactor. The range has been designed for integration in control systems and can be used to create motor starters for any type of application. The TeSys D contactors offer quick simple setup while maintaining compliance with international standards.

• Built-in auxiliary contacts for added switching capability
• Screw connections: IP20 finger-safe terminals with both North American and International terminal markings
• Can be panel mounted with screws or DIN Rail mounted
• Bidirectional peak limiting diode suppressor to protect the coil
• Easily installed accessories
• Flexible control circuit to suit a wide range of applications

Contactor utilisation categories define the current making and breaking values, based on the type of load to be controlled and the operating cycle conditions.

• AC-1: This applies to all AC devices with a power factor of at least 0.95. Example of use: resistive load, heating, distribution.


• AC-3: This applies to squirrel cage motors where breaking occurs while the motor is running. Example of use: all squirrel cage motors, lifts, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning units.

• Auxiliary contact blocks with serrated wiping action
• Front mount dust tight auxiliary contact blocks
• Pneumatic time delay blocks
• Transient voltage surge suppressors
• Interface modules and electronic timers
• Mechanical latching blocks

Yes the Tesys D range uses linear translation movement that provides double breaking of the poles.

Crank up the switching capability of demanding applications with this 3-pole contactor from Schneider Electric. The versatile gadget switches resistive loads and motor-controlled operations on and off smoothly to improve performance. A mechanical and electrical life cycle of 20 years makes it a sustainable choice with the stamina to go the distance. The unit's small size, with dimensions of 77 (L) x 45 (W) x 93mm (D), is handy for installations where space is tight. You can panel mount it or simply clip it onto a DIN rail for convenient, tool-free fitting.

• Built-in auxiliary contacts boost switching capability
• IP20-rated unit is touch-proof for electrical safety
• Flexible control circuit for compatibility with different applications
• Wide operating temperature range between -5°C and +60°C for use in harsh environments

• Electric motors
• HVAC systems
• Lighting controls
• Automated packaging and assembly lines

A contactor is a kind of relay that handles high-current load devices and high coil voltages. You can control this one remotely to make or break circuits of more than 10A.
