The CR1F265L7 is a TeSys F magnetic latching contactor from Schneider Electric, a 3-pole (3 NO) device rated for 265 A operational current in AC-3 duty at 40 °C. It's designed for motor control and resistive loads, with a control coil that latches and unlatches on a 208 V AC (50...400 Hz) or 208 V DC supply. The latching mechanism holds the main contacts closed without continuous coil power, which cuts standby consumption and heat in the panel.
The utilisation categories also cover AC-4 (inching/plugging) and AC-1 (resistive), so it's not limited to just one load type.
The contactor measures 8.4 in deep, 7.9 in wide, and 8.0 in tall. Terminals accept lugs, ring terminals, or bars up to 240 mm² per pole. Tightening torque is 35 N.m on the power connections. It's a panel-mount device, not DIN-rail snap-on, so plan for bolt-down installation with clearance for the lug entry.
