Overview
The GC1622F5 is a Schneider TeSys GC contactor with 4 poles arranged as 2 NO + 2 NC, rated for 16 A switching current and a 40 A breaking capacity at 400 V AC under IEC 61095. The 110 V AC 50 Hz coil draws 4.6 VA at 20 °C and dissipates 1.6 W.
Rated for AC-7A and AC-7B utilization categories, the GC1622F5 is sized for motor and lighting loads up to 16 A. Its 40 A breaking capacity at 400 V is lower than the 110 A at 400 V of the TeSys K LP1K09008BD, making the GC1622F5 the right choice for lighter-duty circuits where the higher interrupt rating of the LP1K09008BD is not needed.
