Product details

Overview

The GC2540B5 is a 4-pole TeSys GC contactor rated for 25 A switching current on a 24 V AC 50 Hz control coil, built for heating, motor control and lighting applications under AC-7A and AC-7B duty. It breaks 68 A at 400 V per IEC 61095, carries screw-clamp terminals accepting up to 6 mm² flexible wire, and clips onto a DIN rail with a 36 mm wide footprint.

The GC2540B5's 4-pole configuration sets it apart from common 3-pole TeSys K contactors like the LC1K09004F7, which switches 20 A across three poles and carries a 110 A making capacity at 400 V per IEC 60947 — a higher short-circuit rating but one fewer pole for multi-circuit isolation.
