The Schneider Electric LC1E0610F7 is a 3-pole (3NO) contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for AC-3 duty at 6 A up to 440 V, with a 110 V AC coil at 50/60 Hz and one normally open auxiliary contact built in. AC-3 is the standard utilisation category for squirrel-cage motor starting — switching during running, not breaking stalled rotor current — so the 6 A AC-3 rating tells you it handles motor loads up to roughly 3 kW at 400 V three-phase. The same contactor also carries AC-1 (resistive load) and AC-3e (enhanced motor) categories, giving flexibility for heater banks or higher-switch-frequency motor applications. Coil is 110 V AC, 50/60 Hz — common for North American and some European control circuits. The single NO auxiliary contact is enough for a basic seal-in or status feedback; if you need more auxiliary poles, you'll add a side-mount block. Mounts on DIN rail or plate, so it fits standard panel layouts without adapters.
Standards, approvals, and environmental tolerance
It carries a full suite of international standards: EN/IEC 60947-1 (general), 60947-4-1 (contactors and motor-starters), and 60947-5-1 (control circuit devices), plus the Chinese GB/T equivalents. Also complies with EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for appliance and HVAC applications. Operates at -5 to 55 °C ambient, stores at -60 to 80 °C, and derates above 3000 m altitude. IP2X finger protection on the contactor body itself, so it's safe for open-panel mounting but not washdown. Mechanical robustness specs: 3 Gn vibration closed, 10 Gn shock closed — holds in under machine vibration.
Sourcing and integration notes
The 45 mm width (3-module) footprint on DIN rail is standard across the Easy TeSys range, so panel cut-outs and busbar layouts transfer if you swap between similar ratings.
