It's a single-pole normally-open device with a 12 V DC coil, part of the Easy TeSys range. The low contact impedance — 0.5 mOhm at rated current — keeps voltage drop minimal, so you don't lose headroom on a long DC bus. If you're switching low-level signals, note the minimum switching thresholds: 0.1 A and 8 V DC. Below that, contact resistance may not reliably break the circuit — typical for a power contactor, but worth confirming if your load is a few milliamps. ## Wiring & Mounting Mounts vertically (vertical support specified). Power connections use M8 bolts with flat and spring washers; torque to 8–10 N·m. Control circuit comes with a 40 cm two-wire supply, so plan for that length when routing to the DC source. The coil holds between 0.85 and 1.1 Uc (operational) and drops out between 0.1 and 0.75 Uc. Sealed to IP60, so it's dust-protected but not waterproof. Operates from -40 to 85 °C, same range for storage. At altitude up to 4000 m, no derating needed. ## Short-Time Overload Capacity Continuous 300 A is the baseline, but it can handle 400 A for 10 minutes, 600 A for 5 minutes, or 1000 A for 30 seconds. Useful for motor inrush or capacitor charging pulses, but remember: that's on a resistive load curve, not inductive break.","metaTitle":"Schneider Easy TeSys LC1E300ADCH2S260N DC Contactor, 300 A R","metaDescription":"Single-pole DC contactor for resistive loads, 300 A Ith, 1000 V DC max. 12 VDC coil, active production.
