The AC-1 rating covers resistive loads like heaters, where the inrush is lower and the contactor can carry more continuous current. The coil is 240 V AC 50/60 Hz, and the signalling circuit accepts 25 to 400 Hz. The auxiliary contact block carries 1 NO, which is enough for a basic feedback or seal-in circuit on a starter. If you need more aux contacts, the Easy TeSys DPE family shares the same add-on blocks as the broader TeSys range. Mounts on a rail or plate — the 2.2 in (55 mm) width and 4.8 in (122 mm) depth fit a standard DIN-rail footprint. Power circuit terminals accept 2.5 to 25 mm² flexible or solid wire with screw connectors torqued to 7 N·m for the larger range and 5 N·m for the smaller. Control circuit terminals use screw clamps torqued to 1.7 N·m. The tightening specs are identical across the Easy TeSys DPE family, so panel builders can use the same torque driver for the whole line. The Easy TeSys DPE series is the economy tier in Schneider's contactor lineup, positioned below the TeSys Deca and TeSys F ranges. It covers the 9 to 40 A band with a compact footprint and screw terminals — no spring-cage option on this series. If your panel uses spring terminals elsewhere, verify the control-circuit wiring method before specifying. Certified to IEC 60947-4-1 and IEC 60947-5-1, plus UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 14, and EN equivalents. The 600 V cUL rated insulation voltage means it's accepted in North American panels up to that voltage. Operating temperature range is -40 to 140 °F (-40 to 60 °C), with storage down to -76 °F (-60 °C).","metaTitle":"Schneider DPE40U7 Easy TeSys DPE Contactor, 40A, 3P, 25HP at","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric DPE40U7 IEC contactor, Easy TeSys DPE series, 40A rated operational current, 3-pole, 25HP at 480V AC, 240V AC 50/60Hz coil.
