The Schneider Electric LC1E0601Q7 is a 3-pole Easy TeSys contactor rated for AC-3 motor duty at 6 A up to 440 V, with a 380 V AC coil. It also carries AC-3e and AC-1 utilisation categories, covering both motor switching and resistive load applications. The part is designed for DIN rail or plate mounting, with an IP2X finger-protection rating per IEC 60529.
AC-3e extends that to energy-efficient motors with higher inrush. The AC-1 resistive rating covers heater or lighting loads without the inductive kick. The 380 V AC coil voltage must match the control circuit; a mismatch here is the most common substitution error. Mechanical robustness specs include vibration resistance (1.5 Gn open, 3 Gn closed) and shock tolerance (7 Gn open, 10 Gn closed), which matter for installations on mobile equipment or near high-vibration machinery.
It also meets EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and EN/IEC 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for appliance and HVAC applications. Operating altitude is 3000 m without derating, and the permissible ambient temperature range is -20 to 70 °C at coil rated voltage, with storage from -60 to 80 °C. The narrower -5 to 55 °C operation band is the practical limit for continuous duty.
