Schneider Electric LC1K Series Contactor, 230 V ac Coil, 3-Pole, 9 A, 4 kW, 3NO, 690 V ac

TeSys K Miniature 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 for inductive motor applications. The TeSys K contactors offer quick simple setup while maintaining compliance with international standards. A special armature structure design allows all devices in the range, either AC or DC, to have the same physical size and panel footprint for convenience.

• 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
• Easily installed accessories
• Instantaneous auxiliary contact
• Flexible control circuit to suit a wide range of applications
• High-fault short circuit current ratings provide the flexibility to select any component

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.

The LC1K series is suitable up to a maximum of 440 V ac in category AC4.

Yes the TeSys K range uses linear translation movement that provides double breaking of the poles.

To keep your incandescent lighting system switching on and off like clockwork, use this contactor from Schneider Electric. With lightning-fast contacts, it's a practical choice for handling demanding loads with minimal risk of damaging current arcs. This helps to keep your setup reliable and reduces the chance of equipment blowouts. For compatibility with harsh industrial environments, the contactor resists vibration and shock. It's suitable for use in public areas as it's free of toxic heavy metals. For a further safety boost, it's also flame-retardant, so it only burns for a maximum of 30 seconds if it catches alight.

• Choice of panel or DIN rail mounting to suit your setup
• End-of-life optimised for a light carbon footprint
• IP20-rated front face is touch-proof and protected against tools and wires larger than 12mm
• Maximum operating rate of 3,600 cycles per hour to keep up with demanding systems

• Food and beverage production
• Agricultural equipment
• Healthcare facilities
• Airports

Yes, the module includes built-in auxiliary contacts, making it a cinch to expand your system.
