The Schneider Electric TeSys F CR1F185R7 is a 3-pole magnetic latching contactor rated for motor control and resistive loads. The latching mechanism means the coil draws power only to change state (35 to 40 ms to latch, 50 to 100 ms to unlatch), then holds magnetically with zero coil dissipation.
Dimensions: 7.1 in deep, 6.6 in wide, 6.9 in high — verify your enclosure depth before committing the cutout. Terminal bars accept up to 150 mm² lug or ring-terminal connections; torque the power connections to 18 N·m. No auxiliary contact block is included in this order code — if you need N.O./N.C. feedback for the PLC, add a separate LA1 or LA4 block from the TeSys F range.
The 185 A AC-3 rating governs motor switching — that's the current the contactor can make and break across starting and running of a squirrel-cage induction motor. For resistive loads (AC-1), the thermal current Ith is 275 A. The rated breaking capacity at 220 to 440 V is 1800 A, which covers fault clearing downstream of the contactor. Associated fuse recommendation: 200 A aM or 315 A gG up to 440 V. Power dissipation per pole runs 12 W in AC-3 duty, 26 W in AC-1 — factor that into your enclosure thermal budget if you're packing multiple contactors side by side.
This part is at a current lifecycle stage with no end-of-life notice. It is an active catalog line within the TeSys F range.
