The coil is 380 V AC at 60 Hz. The AC-3 rating means it is designed for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors under full load — the 40 A figure governs the motor full-load current it can handle, not the inrush. The AC-3e rating extends that to energy-efficient motors with higher inrush characteristics. ## Mounting and integration details The contactor fits on a DIN rail or mounting plate. Dimensions are 127 mm height, 75 mm width, 114 mm depth — check your enclosure depth before committing, especially if using a shallow gland plate. The IP2X degree of protection means it is finger-safe but not sealed against dust or moisture; keep it inside the panel. It is TH-treated for pollution degree 3 environments (condensation-prone, moderate conductive pollution) per IEC 60068-2-30. No derating needed up to 3000 m altitude. 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.","metaTitle":"Schneider LC1E40Q6 Easy TeSys Contactor, 40A AC-3, 380V Coil","metaDescription":"Obsolete LC1E40Q6 contactor from Schneider Easy TeSys Control. 40A AC-3, 380V AC coil, 3P, DIN rail mount.
