Product Overview & Key Ratings
The Schneider Electric LC1E0610R5 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for AC-3 and AC-3e utilisation categories at 6 A up to 440 V, with a 440 V AC 50 Hz coil and one normally-open auxiliary contact. The AC-3 rating means it's designed for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors under load — the 6 A figure governs the motor full-load current it can handle, not the resistive heating current. It also carries an AC-1 rating for resistive loads, so it can switch heater banks or lighting banks at a higher current than the AC-3 motor rating. The 1.5 ms non-overlap time between NC and NO contacts on both energisation and de-energisation ensures break-before-make operation in safety-related control circuits.
Mounting & Integration
The IP2X degree of protection means it's touch-safe against fingers but not sealed against dust or moisture — suitable for enclosed panel installation, not washdown environments.
No official successor order code is listed in the manufacturer's lifecycle data. A parametric cross-reference to a current Easy TeSys or TeSys Deca contactor with matching coil voltage and pole configuration would be needed for a replacement — verify the mounting footprint and auxiliary contact arrangement before substituting.
Compliant with EN/IEC 60947-1, EN/IEC 60947-4-1, EN/IEC 60947-5-1, and the corresponding GB/T standards. Also meets EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and EN/IEC 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for fire resistance, with a glow-wire test at 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1.
