The Schneider Electric GC2510M6 is a TeSys GC modular contactor, a 1-pole device with a 220...240 V AC 60 Hz control circuit. It's a clip-on DIN rail unit, 17.5 mm wide, designed for switching resistive and lightly inductive loads in control panels. Rated for utilisation categories AC-7A and AC-7B, it's suited for heating, motor control, and lighting applications. The rated breaking and making capacity is 68 A at 400 V AC for the power circuit, per IEC 61095.
For a 1-pole device switching a single phase, this is the fault-clearing capability you need to check against your upstream protective device. The control circuit voltage is 220...240 V AC at 60 Hz, with a drop-out threshold of 0.2...0.75 Uc and an operational range of 0.85...1.1 Uc at 50 Hz. This means the coil will reliably pick up at 187 V and drop out below 48 V, which is important for brownout conditions or long control wiring runs. Electrical durability is rated at 100,000 cycles for both AC-7A and AC-7B categories, with mechanical durability at 1,000,000 cycles. The maximum operating rate is 300 cycles per hour at 50 °C. This is a moderate-duty contactor, not intended for high-speed cycling like a PLC output. The associated fuse rating is 25 A gL at ≤ 440 V for the power circuit. This is the maximum fuse size for short-circuit protection; the contactor itself is not a circuit breaker and relies on an upstream fuse or MCB. Heat dissipation is 1.3 W at 50/60 Hz, with 1.6 W per pole. In a crowded DIN rail enclosure, this is low enough to avoid derating concerns for adjacent devices, but still worth checking if you're packing 24 of these in a row.
Clip-on mounting on a DIN rail, occupying a single 18 mm module width (17.5 mm actual). The depth is 62.5 mm, height 81 mm. This is a standard panel footprint — fits alongside miniature circuit breakers and other modular DIN rail components. Screw clamp terminals on both control and power circuits, with a tightening torque of 0.8 N.m. Power circuit accepts up to 6 mm² flexible or solid wire; control circuit accepts up to 2.5 mm². The terminal layout is straightforward for a 1-pole device. IP20 protection (fingers) per VDE 0106, IP40 in an enclosure.
As an active, standard-line item, lead time is typically consistent with Schneider's distribution channel for TeSys GC components. No unusual sourcing constraints apply.
