The Schneider Electric LC1E06008N5WBIN is a 4-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 20 A operational current in AC-1 utilisation category at up to 415 V AC. That AC-1 rating means it is specified for resistive loads — heaters, lighting banks, or other non-inductive circuits — where the current inrush is minimal and the switching duty is steady-state. The coil is 415 V AC 50 Hz wide-range, with a pickup range of 0.7 to 1.25 Uc and dropout at 0.3 to 0.6 Uc across the rated temperature band.
Screw-clamp terminals on both power and control circuits accept flexible cable with or without ferrules up to 4 mm² (power) and 6 mm² solid, with a tightening torque of 1.2 N.m for both circuits.
The TH protective treatment per IEC 60068 means it is verified for tropical environments (heat and humidity).
Key performance figures
Electrical durability is 150,000 cycles at AC-1; mechanical durability is 10 million cycles. The maximum operating rate is 1,800 cycles per hour at 60 °C. The power circuit impedance is 2.5 mOhm at 20 A and 50 Hz, with 1 W dissipation per pole in AC-1 duty. The control circuit dissipates 2 to 3 W, with an inrush of 95 VA at 50 Hz and cos φ 0.75.
Contact configuration and auxiliary contacts
The main poles are arranged as 2 normally open and 2 normally closed. There are no built-in auxiliary contacts — if auxiliary switching is needed, an add-on block must be fitted. Closing time is 12 to 22 ms; opening time is 4 to 19 ms.
