The Schneider Electric LC1E12008M5WBIN is a 4-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 32 A in AC-1 utilisation category (resistive load) at up to 415 V AC. That 32 A figure is the current it can carry continuously in a resistive heating or lighting circuit — not a motor-starting rating. The coil is 220 V AC at 50 Hz, with a wide-range control circuit that pulls 95 VA inrush at 20 °C and settles to 2–3 W heat dissipation. It's built to EN/IEC 60947-4-1 and 60947-5-1, so it's certified for both power switching and control-circuit isolation in the same package.
The contactor has 2 normally-open and 2 normally-closed power poles — that's a 4-pole configuration common for switching three-phase plus neutral or dual circuits. The auxiliary contact composition is listed as "without", so there's no built-in aux block; if you need feedback to a PLC or a seal-in circuit, you'll add a side-mount aux contact separately. The associated fuse recommendation is 32 A gG at ≤ 690 V, coordination type 1, meaning the contactor is protected by that fuse and may need replacement after a short-circuit event.
Screw-clamp terminals on both power and control circuits accept solid up to 6 mm² or flexible with ferrule up to 4 mm². Tightening torque is 1.2 N.m for both circuits — a common value, so no special tool needed. IP20 finger-safe front, but the terminals are live when wired — standard panel practice.
