Product details

It is rated for utilisation categories AC-7A and AC-7B, which covers heating, motor control, and lighting applications. The coil is wound for 110 V AC at 50 Hz, with a drop-out threshold between 0.2 and 0.75 Uc and an operational range of 0.85 to 1.1 Uc at 50 Hz. The power circuit is rated for 16 A (Ith) with an average impedance of 2.5 mOhm, and it can break 40 A at 400 V AC per IEC 61095. The contactor is certified to IEC 60947-5 and IEC 61095, making it suitable for panel builds that require compliance with these switching and control circuit standards.

Its dimensions are 81 mm high, 17.5 mm wide, and 62.5 mm deep, so it fits neatly into a compact enclosure alongside other modular devices. Screw-clamp terminals accept up to 6 mm² solid or flexible cable on the power circuit and 2.5 mm² on the control circuit, with a tightening torque of 0.8 N.m for both. The contactor is rated IP20 (finger-safe) per VDE 0106 when not enclosed, and IP40 when mounted inside an enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for the GC1611F5?

The GC1611F5 is a 2-pole modular contactor rated for 16 A (Ith) in the power circuit, with a 110 V AC 50 Hz coil. It has a rated breaking capacity of 40 A at 400 V AC per IEC 61095, and is certified to IEC 60947-5 and IEC 61095.

What is the closest alternative to the GC1611F5 in the TeSys GC family?

Within the TeSys GC series, the closest alternative would be a unit with the same 2-pole configuration and 16 A rating but a different coil voltage. The GC1611F5 is wound for 110 V AC 50 Hz; if your control voltage differs, select the variant with the matching coil voltage. The mechanical footprint and terminal layout are identical across the series.
