Rated for utilisation categories AC-3, AC-3e, and AC-1, it covers standard induction motor starting and resistive heating loads. The contactor mounts on DIN rail or plate, with an IP2X finger-safe enclosure. No official successor order code is listed in the lifecycle record. When requalifying a BOM line, a parametric search for a 3-pole, 38 A AC-3, 48 V 50 Hz coil contactor from the same family is the practical path. It also meets EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and EN/IEC 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for appliance applications. Fire resistance is tested to 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1. Protective treatment is TH (pollution degree 3) per IEC 60068-2-30, suitable for humid environments. Operating altitude is 3000 m without derating. ## Integration notes Dimensions are 86 mm deep, 56 mm wide, and 84 mm high — a compact footprint for DIN-rail or plate mounting in a control panel. The non-overlap time between NC and NO contacts is 1.5 ms on both energisation and de-energisation, which matters when interlocking contactors in reversing or star-delta starters. Mechanical robustness: the contactor withstands vibrations of 1.5 Gn (5–300 Hz) when open and 3 Gn when closed, plus shocks of 10 Gn for 11 ms (closed) and 6 Gn (open).","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric LC1E3801E5 Easy TeSys Contactor, 38A, 48V","metaDescription":"Obsolete LC1E3801E5 Easy TeSys Control contactor, 3P, 38A AC-3, 48V 50Hz coil, 1NC aux.
