The 12 V DC coil holds at 0.85–1.1 Uc (operational) and drops out between 0.1–0.75 Uc, so a 12 V supply with proper tolerance keeps it pulled in without dropout. Application is explicitly resistive load. Do not use this for motor starting or inductive loads – the electrical durability figures (1500 cycles at 750 V / 250 A breaking only) confirm it's built for on/off of resistors, heaters, or lamps, not for making/breaking motor inrush. Mechanical durability is 300,000 cycles, and close/open times are 50 ms / 30 ms. That kind of speed and endurance suits a heater bank cycling on a packaging line or a resistive load switched at moderate frequency. Mounts vertically on a panel (vertical support). Dimensions: 74.3 mm high, 58 mm wide, 81.3 mm deep. Power terminals take M8 bolts with flat and spring washers, torqued to 8–10 N·m. Control circuit comes with a 40 cm two-wire pigtail. IP60 rating means it's dust-tight but not protected against sprays or hoses. Keep it outside washdown zones unless it's inside a panel rated higher. Designed to IEC 60947-4-1 and GB/T 14048.4. Rated insulation voltage 1500 V (power circuit), impulse withstand 8 kV (coil not connected to power circuit). Insulation resistance is 1000 MΩ at 1000 V DC. ## Sourcing Takeaway For a BOM line needing a 1-pole, 12 V DC coil contactor switching 250 A resistive at up to 1000 V DC, the LC1E250ADCH2S260N is a direct fit. No obsolete hunt needed – it's in active manufacture, so lead times are normal production.
