The Schneider Electric LC1E06004Q7IN is a 4-pole (4NO) contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for AC-1 resistive loads at 20 A up to 415 V, with a 380 V coil. It is designed for switching resistive heating elements, lighting banks, or other non-inductive loads where inrush current is minimal — the AC-1 utilisation category tells you this is not a motor-starting contactor. The 4-pole configuration gives you four normally-open power contacts in a 45 mm wide package that mounts on DIN rail or a plate.
The AC-1 rating of 20 A at ≤415 V defines the continuous resistive current each pole can carry. For a procurement decision, this means the contactor is sized for loads like electric heaters or incandescent lighting — not for motors, transformers, or capacitor banks that draw a high inrush. The 380 V coil (part of the order code suffix) operates within the -20 to 70 °C ambient range at rated voltage, with a guaranteed non-overlap time of 1.5 ms between NC and NO contacts on both energisation and de-energisation, which prevents shoot-through in interlocking circuits. The contactor carries IP2X finger protection per IEC 60529, meaning it is safe for panel mounting where operators may reach near the terminals.
Integration into a panel
The contactor measures 45 mm wide by 74 mm high by 80 mm deep, fitting a standard DIN-rail footprint or direct plate mounting. The 4-pole block occupies one modular width, so a multi-contactor panel can be laid out in a single row. Operating altitude is rated to 3000 m without derating — relevant if the panel goes into a high-altitude installation like a mine or mountain facility. Storage temperature extends from -60 to 80 °C, which covers most warehouse and shipping conditions.
