The Schneider Electric LC1E0601R5 is a 3-pole (3NO) contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 6 A in AC-3/AC-3e utilisation category at ≤440 V — that means it's sized for switching small motor loads up to that current, not just resistive heating. The coil is 440 V AC, 50 Hz, and it carries one normally-closed auxiliary contact.
The AC-1 rating covers resistive loads at the same current, but the AC-3 figure is the one that decides fit for motor control. The 1.5 ms non-overlap time between NC and NO contacts ensures that the normally-closed and normally-open poles never close simultaneously during coil energisation or de-energisation, which matters for interlocking circuits where a momentary short across the two contact sets could cause a logic fault. Mechanical robustness is specified for vibration (3 Gn closed, 1.5 Gn open) and shock (10 Gn closed, 7 Gn open) — these are the levels the contactor withstands without unwanted opening or closing, relevant for installation near rotating machinery or on mobile equipment. The altitude rating of 3000 m without derating covers most installations outside high-mountain sites. Standards compliance includes EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (contactor standard) and EN/IEC 60947-5-1 (control circuit devices), plus GB/T equivalents for the Chinese market.
DIN-rail or plate mounting, 45 mm wide, 74 mm tall, 80 mm deep — it occupies a standard 3-pole contactor footprint. The IP2X degree of protection (finger-safe) is the enclosure rating of the contactor body itself; in a panel it relies on the cabinet's IP rating for washdown or dust protection. The coil is 440 V AC 50 Hz only — verify your control voltage matches before wiring.
