The Schneider Electric GC2504F6 is a TeSys GC modular contactor — a 4-pole, 25 A device with a 110 V AC 60 Hz control coil, designed for DIN-rail mounting in distribution and control panels. It occupies two 18 mm module widths, so it fits standard consumer-unit or industrial-panel rail spacing without adapters. Rated for utilisation categories AC-7A and AC-7B, this contactor is suited for switching lighting loads, resistive heating elements, and motor circuits up to its rated current.
The 110 V AC 60 Hz control coil draws 34 VA inrush at 20 °C, with a hold power of 1.6 W at 50/60 Hz. The drop-out voltage range is 0.2 to 0.75 Uc, and the operate range is 0.85 to 1.1 Uc at 50 Hz below 50 °C — so the coil will reliably pick up at line voltages as low as 93.5 V AC and drop out cleanly below 82.5 V AC, preventing chatter on a sagging supply. Electrical durability is rated at 100,000 cycles for both AC-7A and AC-7B duty, with mechanical durability at 1,000,000 cycles. The maximum operating rate is 300 cycles per hour at 50 °C. For a lighting contactor in a commercial building cycling several times a day, that endurance is comfortably overspecified. The power circuit accepts screw-clamp terminals up to 6 mm² solid or 6 mm² flexible with ferrule, with a tightening torque of 0.8 N·m. The associated fuse rating is 25 A gL at ≤ 440 V — match this when designing the upstream branch circuit protection. The IP degree of protection is IP40 in an enclosure (IP20 without), so it requires a panel or enclosure for dust and touch protection — standard for modular rail-mount gear.
The GC2504F6 is certified to IEC 61095 (household and similar electromechanical contactors) and IEC 60947-5 (low-voltage switchgear and controlgear — control circuit devices). The manufacturer's declaration of conformity covers these standards; RoHS and REACH compliance documentation is available through the standard Schneider Electric channel.
